I had the original Robot Arena, it was an OK game but was easily mastered. This, Robot Arena 2, is the perfect game for anyone who wants to build a custom robot to fight against others. The physics are realistic(until a glitch happens...and they DO happen) and the only reason I took one star away is that you are limited by weight...so your "dream bot" may not actually be realized due to this restriction...a few of my ideas were.
WARNING: Newer NVIDIA based graphics cards will need to install a patch BEFORE this game will be playable.

Such a good game, that you have to play it for yourself to understand what I am about to tell you !

It's additionally recreational to impugn others usinig your android in the Multiplayer session. This game cannot subsist as being disparagemental. My appraisal to this product is predilecative. Subsequently playing this game, one will become solitary to it. I give credence to the magnificence of this game.

I've played for ages, but now I'll make sure the stock goes down with the truth.

The Truth is:
This game kicks ass
You can mod it (big time - DSL TC 1.0/1.1/1.2 - little time - small mods)
You can mod it yourself (Like I am)
The workshop may need the advanced function for rounded/straight + rounded/proper triangle shapes like Chaos 2 and Dominator 2.
The carnage is awsome but needs armour piercing, and breaking - not just denting

5/5

This is so fun, creating ur own bots and then smashing the enemies. wheels can come flying off and all kinds of stuff, it's just super i'd rate this at 9999999 out of 5 if i could. You might not think this game was good at it's price, but it's super just buy it ! and we can all play games on the internet! and smash eachothers bots and have a look and see what designs work out best, and i say again, trust me, this game is the best i've ever encountered, don't worry if ur computers not that up-to-date, this game doesn't need much to run surprisingly with it's cool 3D real life graphics

Simply Put, This Game Is The Best Game Ever. There Are Virtually No Flaws, Once You Download The Patch. What Makes It Even Better Is The Fact That People Can Create Their Own Custom AI, Components, Skins, Wheels, Bodies, And Arenas. This Is Truly The Best Game Ever. 'Nuff Said.

You can definitely mod the game, and that is what makes it so great. Aceuplink (it's a webiste, hint hint, wink wink, try and guess the extension) has tons of mods in the forums. The new DSL mod will comlpetely change the game, and make it into Robot Arena 3 for all intensive purposes. We are adding real life motors and batteries and probably quadrupling the components. Also, new arenas, new game types, new user interface, new AI (based off real life robots).

PS-The game is awesome, closest thing you'll probably ever find to real life robot combat.

Nothing else like it, great value

The "quality/price ratio", as I like to call it, is incredible on this game. You can design and customize your robots to fine detail.

You start by building a chassis (bot shape); then you add battery packs, motors, tires, weapons, and other gadgets; you then specify the controls for your new robot;followed by a custom paint job and textures (complete with brushed metal and scratches).

After testing your bot to make sure you programmed it correctly, you can put it in an arena with up to four other bots (computerized or humans via LAN or Internet) and endure massive carnage.

The battle physics are incredibly lifelike. My favorite aspect is the damage you can inflict. A good hit to the armor of an enemy bot with a sledge hammer will create a very believable dent, possibly breaking off their weapon or one of their wheels.

If you've ever seen those battle bot TV shows... Robot Arena: Design and Destroy is very close to the real thing. I gave it four stars only because you cannot expand on the game with mods. Unless, of course, I'm mistaken.

Cool Game

This game is not like the other games out there, it actually allows you to build your own robot without using default chassis. (You can edit pre-made chassis though).The fact that you can design the chassis using a grid is amazing. And you don't have to worry about money when building the robots.

P.S.: I had no problems playing it on my computers. I have one with Windows 2000, and one with Windows XP.

barbre's review

Please ignore the review by barbre ("Windows killer"), as it is filled with misinformation and, quite frankly, stupidity.

I will address the rest to barbre him/herself...

About the sound card - If you had cared or had the intelligence to look more carefully, you would have checked the master volume controls, and seen that Wave is muted. No need to uninstall your sound card and "let plug and play find it".
Your comment about DirectX ("I should have known better...") is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time - "Oh no, version 9 is newer than 8.1, so 8.1 will surely destroy my computer!" - and given the fact you're running the abominable, sickening, eye-candy-filled terrible excuse for an operating system called Windows XP, I must come to the conclusion you are, indeed, of very little brainpower.

So, everyone: Do ignore that review until Amazon (hopefully) deletes it.

(Oh, and the game is great. 5 stars easily.)

I downloaded and played the demo on my Windows XP box. After 30 minutes it expires and took my sound devide with it. I should have known better when it said it wanted me to install DirectX 8.1 (as of this writing the current directX is 9.0.x).

For a marginally interesting game it's not worth the damage that resulted. BTW, I had to uninstall my sound device and let plug and play find it again to get sound back on my PC.

Buyer beware.
