Who knew fighting one on one battles with one foot tall robots could be so fun?
User Rating: 7.9 | Gekitou! Custom Robo DS
Custom Robo Arena is a fighting game for the DS. You play as a random character who just moved into a new town. You very soon meet 2 kids and join a robo team. Gotta give Noise/Nintendo credit for trying to make a storyline, but it is basically battle after battle. Luckily, the battles are a blast. Each robo has a gun, bomb, and pod (missile) weapons which can be switched by parts you buy or receive from others. The battles are indeed button mashing, however, there is still some strategy. Throughout the arena, there are obstacles everywhere. So you will have to jump and move your way around the obstacles to get a clean shot at your enemy. There is one slight problem though. The whole games, while long, far too easy. But it's still fun. Multiplayer is alright, but it is just some tougher battles than the story mode. Graphics, at least in my opinion, suck. The battles, the characters, all failed on miserable levels. Sound was no better. The music was really bad, so bad it made me turn of the sound altogether. If you just want some random game, having to preference of genre or ratings, get this game.
