My Review of Metal Arms

Metal Arms is an old XBox game that i have played for many years, though i have never reviwed.

So, the story is that your a robot trying to save your planet from evil robots. It has intresting gameplay, good graphics and physics engine, and a large array of weapons.

Glitch, our Hero, reduces an enemy grunt to scrap metal.

What really grabs me is the enemy taking damage. When you shoot at an enemys limbs, they can take danage and start to flop and dangle around until you shoot it right off! Once, when i shot an enemy with a rocket launcher, only his legs were left! I watched and laughed as they ran around aimlessly!

One of my favourite weapons is the Control Tether. Come up behind a robot, shoot him in the back with it, and you take total control of him! Also there are Recruiter Grendes. When Thrown, any enmy robots caught in the blast become allies!

Players battle it out in a multiplayer deathmatch!

Also, the multiiplaye function is pretty good too! Not only do you blast each-other with guns, but also there are many deactivated robots that you can use the Control Tether on.

Perhaps the only downside is the small array of sound effects. Many objects share the same sound effect when they explode.

Also, it has no XBox Live feature, so the maximum amount of players is 4.

All in all, 4/5!
