By keeping everything good about the game locked away until players cough up the dough, Real Steel can be dismissed as terrible.

Real Steel is not a noteworthy videogame. It is a shame, because the idea could have been great if it had been well executed. It has a very limited and repetitive gameplay, and a lackluster appearence.

It could be worse. Hugh Jackman could be in it. [Christmas 2011, p.120]

Not much to this fighting game. The actual gameplay is fun but is also very basic so it can get tedious after a while. The graphics were nice for its time. Some fights were memorable like the last one with ZUES. But overall an alright game especially if you enjoyed the movie.

Great game. Controls are easy to understand and customization is great. It's sad that it was discontinued in 2017. If they made a next gen version with better graphics, and more customization I would be the first to buy it.

Grinding out levels and paid for content have their places in games, and neither should be in a $10 downloadable game based on a movie. There are a few moments that the game feels really fun but those moments wear off very quickly once the grind kicks in. Unless Real Steel is a movie that defines you there really isn't any reason to go whole hog over this game. Oh, it doesn't have Hugh Jackman in it in case you were wondering.

Real Steal's fisticuffs are a half step above the usual movie-based dreck, but the constant rattle of a beggar's tin cup in your face only grows more distasteful over time.

A prime example of a film-to-game adaptation gone wrong. It perpetuates the stereotype that games based on movies aren't good with a missed opportunity to use established mechanics effectively.

Incredibly tedious and horrible controls make this almost unplayable.

The kids enjoyed the movie, so they were excited to see this game available on Xbox. We played the demo and, while it is pretty basic, it was fun enough to pay to "unlock the full game". Imagine my surprise then when, a few minutes into the "full game", we are informed that we can't customize the look of our robot unless we pay an additional fee for the "designer mode". And then we get to see the extensive laundry list of parts, moves, repair kits, etc available for additional fees. This game represents the very worst in developer greed. It's really despicable. Shame on them. The premise is solid - build and customize your robot as you progress through the ranks. As for game-play... it's mediocre. It's fun for the kids who loved the movie and just like fighting robots in general. In the little time I played with them, the difficulty gradient was way too steep. The very first fight was awkward and difficult right from the start... which I supposed is intended to encourage people to purchase more in-game dl-content to repair and upgrade their robot. Again, it is a money play. The fighting controls are alright, but getting up from a knockdown is downright infuriating. And while upgrades are the one shining feature of this game, navigating back and forth through half a dozen screens to edit each little piece of the robot is tedious at best... a real pain in the butt. Since we've already paid TWICE to play the game, I imagine the kids will spend a few more rounds with it, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Don't reward these greedy buzzards.
