...that this game is so underrated. I hear video game reviewers all over the net saying "ZOMG!!1!!1eleventy-one!!11!1one!!11 tihs g4me is t3h suxx0rz!11!1onelol!!11 Its n4wt turn-b4s3d RPG!!11!onleol!!111". Oh shut up. Just because you're being paid to sabotage a great game's reputation is no excuse to not spread some good detail on this game. 1) The graphics are great, 2) The battles are challenging and require you to think before firing, 3) The story has enough comedy (thanks to Harry, of course), drama, action and thrills to keep even ME entertained; and that's saying a lot, 4) I know, the little beeping noises made by the characters sound...odd...but that's what you get with a such a great game. I find it sad that everyone these days wants turn-based RPGs. Please, that genre got old with FFVIII and you're just angry that Nintendo decided to think outside the box and create a perfectly great game that would leave turn-based RPGs in the dust.
So, QUIT trying to make an impression and just accept the fact that this game is much better than FFVXM or whatever the hell you want to call them. And that, my friends, is the end of discussion. Period. I have nothing more to say other than this: Don't listen to those hypocritical video game critics who stuff their pockets with greenbacks for blamming a game. Think outside the box and go with Nintendo. It's the ONLY way to go.

4 STARS.Well I don't have much time to wright but this game is alright.You can customize your robot's and upgrade them.I played the demo at Target.But one thing that messes me up are the controls.It's hard to manouiver your characters.But graphic's and fighting are excellent.The camera angle's get annoying sometimes.The battle's are viewed from a bird's eye view which is actually preatty annoying.Your enemy dosen't seem to have much A.I because all they have to do is blast at you until your dead and hope not to be hit.But beside's that it's a preatty good shooting combat game.Gotta go!!!
Man, this game sucks..... PFFFT!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!!

It looks pretty good,a lot of customizable parts to choose from,but the only problem is it would probably look better if the camera was like in Armored Core, because in Custom Robo the controls are screwed because the stupid camera is at an angle and your too far away to see your Robo in most battles. What's the point in customizing if you can't see the bot? Anywho, it would probably be better if the Other Robots would react if you attacked.You shoot there health just goes down.Not alot of explosins, or any getting blown to the other side.This game could use a few touch ups,but other than that,it's a great game.Good story,and weapons
this looks good

The singleplayer mode is nothing more than a very long and drawn out tutorial. The decisions you make won't have any real latsting effects on the outcome of the game. So it's a tame RPG. The story is rather good and a follows a nice sci-fi tone.
What really makes this game shine is the number of Robo and parts. Even after playing the singleplayer through there are still more things to unlock in the Grand Battle. The controls are slick and simple. You'll have to learn what weapons to use in certain situations. It's also not a very good button mashing fighter. You'll have to think things out and use the levels to your advantage.
Multiplayer is the best part of the game. The camera could use some work when four players are onscreen. Each Robo class tailors to personal tactics. There are light fast robos and tanks. The are variations in abilites from light to heavy. Some might have better air speed, ground speed, or control. Just because your Robo is "light" doesn't make it fast.
Teach your friends how to play and unlock as much as you can solo. There's little real learning curve in the game. Buy this game for the incredible customization and multiplayer. I feel that the singleplayer "RPG" had potential but it wasn't carried out to its fullest.
Fun and challenging

This game is very fun, challenging, and most of all... funny! (Funny because when you lose, you just suddenly flip over)The game is about a young boy (a.k.a teenager) that joins the steal hearts bounty hunting club (the name really sounds like a bad gang though) and he is teaming up with two other robo commanders named Harry and Marcia. Your main job is to put Z syndicate out of commision (I think that is what it is...)
They really should make an anime series of Custom Robo, that would be awesome.

This game is one of the best action games I have ever played. As soon as I started playing the story mode I couldn't stop playing it until I finished it. The story in the game is very deep and compelling and the characters are really interesting. It's okay as a multiplayer game, but I enjoyed it more when I played it by myself. There are so many ways to customize your robo, the possibilities are almost endless. The difficulty level of this game isn't too high either, so even younger gamers should enjoy this title.
