Looked cute but not worth it very.

Almost impossible to even move around. Most the time your facing one way the focus is off to your other side. You have to manually swing the camera view to see where your going. Very annoying when running through a twisting and turning alley and you never can actually see where your going without continually changing cam views at every step.

Also basic movement is very clunky. Within minutes of starting the game you are suppose to jump from roof-to-roof of various buildings. But very difficult to straigthen out the character, he always wants to have a slight angle which then has you miss the jump to the next building.

Played for about fifteen minutes. Enjoyed about 2 mins of that...

Save your money!

Very difficult to control. Tried both the keyboard and Wingman joystick. You can't use both the keyboard and other controller such as mouse or joystick at the same time. If you don't have 32 fingers for the keyboard or a joystick with 15+ buttons, you're hosed. Otherwise, the graphics look good and the game play seems like it would be fun, if only you could maneuver around.

Disappointed...

We overcame the keyboard controls and finally made it into level two. Our reward was a crash blue screen. Sounds to be quit common with this game. They say systems are not meeting min req. It's not working with all video cards, blah, blah, blah. All our other games work though...

save your money!!!!

i just bought robots yesterday and i was soo excited. as most kids(me)expect their game to work because they trust their dad or mom can fix it! well let me give you a tip.....STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!! this game goes soo slow and crashes everything in the computer. and witch my mom or dad had hard time to figure out! the color was the worst part because there were these blocks crashing with it to give it the worst picture EVER! the hardest part was trying to returm it, but we did and i could not be sadder that i couldnt play. if your a parent and your child is 5, they might not understand and blame it on you! and they will be so dissapointed and sad. if you want to spare your money and not look at a dissaponted child then may i say...stay away from, Robots pc/xp because one you to will be sitting at that computer sad and lonley that your parents didnt put efort on fixing OR you will be a parent wishing you had never bought it!!!!!

Works for us!

Most of the buyers who complain about this software say it will not run on their PC. We have a Pentium 4 3.06Mhz PC with 512MB ram and a 32MB G4 Card. This runs just fine on our setup... this is a newer title. Don't expect to run it on the kids old Pentium 233Mhz.... it's not going to work.

Loved it all summer long

My middle kid who is 8 wants to be an inventor when he grows up - and is also a robot fanatic - so when I saw this game at the store for $9.99, we snatched it up. It doesn't work at all on our laptop, but it has worked GREAT on our desktop computer. One other reviewer talked about how tough it is to jump from roof top to roof top on level 2, Well... keep playing like my determined 8 year old did, and soon you'll find out that once you master that skill, the rest of the game is fabulous!

The game play is complicated, using both hands on various keys, but the game educates you throughout as you go from level to level on what the keys do and what you should press next to learn the next keyboard skill. My son and I had fun playing all summer long, challenging each other to figure out the next level as we searched through the train station, the big city, up to Bigweld's office, and on to fight Ratchet. There are some scenes my son thought were very intimidating, but it was a blast to help him get past a few scary bots and have fun playing together all summer long.

So you know... that jumping from roof top to roof top is still one of the 2 most challenging scenes in this game, but for me and ALL my family, it's worth it. We all give it 5 stars plus!!!
