This is a great game! For some reason many people do not like this, I don't know why, it is exactly what I expected. In the game you construct robots, then fight them. If you win, you get money (fake money used in the game). If you loose, your bot is usually destroyed. Originally when you first install the game there are no physics at all, meaning, the bots don't flip or bounce. This can be partially fixed (go into the robot arena.cfg file and change the line Forces=off to Forces=on) and it allows the bots to bounce. I do agree that the AI is not so great, but this has already been fixed (in the form of a patch downloadable at the official website) this drastically improves the game by giving it more weapons, bots, and a way to play against other people on the same computer (one person uses half the keyboard, the other person uses the other half, or one uses a controller). Many people say that multiplayer over the internet does not work, but it does, you just need to follow the directions in the help file for multiplayer. Also, I would just like to say that the game is rated E for everyone, not T for teen like this site states (it says E right on my box). Overall I think this is a great game and anyone that likes Battlebots, Robot Wars, or Robotica will like this game.

I bought this game for my 6 year old son against the age recommendation. He absolutely loves it! In fact, my husband and I found ourselves playing it too. Although the game is not that challenging after you've figured it out, it is still fun to build the bots yourself and then test them. We fight each other too. It's great. Our 3 year old son loves to cheer and scream when we play. We've finally found a computer game that we all enjoy. We did not find the controls hard - you can use a joystick or your keyboard. We hope there will be 2nd version soon.

I think this games is awesome. You get to build robots and then fight them and theres even a patch you can get that allows ou to play head to head on the same computer and a new weapon. In conclusion it's really fun and even if you beat the game you still can play custom challenge and design new robots and theres new patches. Have fun.

Great Game!

This PC game was purchased for a nine year old. The graphics are excellent, and the "battles" between the robots are very realistic. We did not find that this game was violent at all. The fun part is creating your own robot, and actually taking it to the arena to battle against another robot. I thought this game was really fun for all ages! *Note this game is listed for Windows 95/98/ME, but we are using it with Windows XP, and it works just fine.

Worth ...bucks to me

The game is a neat little representation of the tv show Battlebots, right down to the sawblades and spikes on the floor. There are a decent amount of parts to play with, and gameplay is pretty easy. It is relatively straightforward to make and fight with a robot, and at first, it may seem a bit strange with the camera angles. While the AI leaves much to be desired at first, if you go to...and download the patch, you will instantly like the game a whole lot more. With the patch comes 2 new weapons, head to head mode, better Multiplayer suppport, far more advanced challenging AI, and finally about 5 or so new bots to beat to pieces :) Once you have the patch, the game seems much more fun, and I definitely recommend this game for those robot loving people out there!

I would give it 5 but...

I would give this game 5 stars but I just didn't get that rush! sure it looks good but there is not enough WEAPONS! As soon as I played Robot Arena 2...I forgot about the first one! RA2 is just plain better...

This game is fun,but in created the robot mode,you don't get much weapons,colors and other stuff.The computer is way too easy to beat.If you want to play a harder oppenent,you should go to multiplayer.

Game would be awesome with Mass Multiplayer and longer level

If they made a Robot Arena 2 with Multiplayer and a longer single player and more weapons this game would beat mechwarrior.
