This is definitely one of those games that you find yourself playing over and over and each time the fight will be totally different in more ways than one.

While it's prettier than most budget titles, it also suffers from the vacancy that so often comes with nice looking people, dogs, or mechanical monsters. It looks great standing still, but give it a complicated task and it all goes to pieces.

To clarify, it's your typical boy-meets-scrap-parts-that-will-eventually-become-a-killing-machine tale, minus any compelling death scenes or token nudity shots.

The robot construction is simplistic in the extreme, the arenas are forgettable, and the actual combat is the epitome of boredom.

Even at the low retail cost of $19.99, Robot Arena isn't worth it. You'd end up getting more entertainment if you randomly chose two movies at an over-priced movie theater.

If you can read this review, you're too old to play Robot Arena. [July 2001, p.72]

Pointless, worthless, lifeless, colorless, flavorless dregs from the very bottom of the gaming barrel. An idiotic, dull, awful, dreary waste of time and hard drive space.

PROS: you can make your own robot, the graphics are ok enough for what this game is. CONS: Dumb AI, construction makes no sense, no physics, damage looks crappy. In fact the AI is so dumb, it makes the game MUCH EASIER! Robot Arena 2 Is a vastly superior game with an active community and easy modding. THIS game however, leaves me confused as to how it is the first version. It's one of those times, the sequel is better than the original! The reason this game has positive user reviews is people are confusing it with robot arena 2.
