everyone likes robots right? Whether its an oversized son of a tank and a weapons factory or a tiny hamaniod with all the offensive capbilities of cliff richard. my point is if like the frist one then this is the game for you. your love puting togeather your own tin man and and letting it loose on other bots. the visals of the are crisp and clear. the audio (sound tracks) are decent but could be better. the gameplay is really pick up and play arcade action with a well-paced narrative.

Decent

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!!!

this looks good

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

The game is fun...but the story mode is lacking at points

Fisrt off let me say that this game is a lot of fun for a group of buddies to blast the heck out of each other. The controls and camera could certainly be better, but it's good mindless "shoot em up" fun. The single player story mode falls a bit short in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the actual story is good, but I prefer more actual choices. Any deviation from where the story wants you to go (like wandering around rather than going straight home) ends up being just a waste of time. There are also very frustrating situations where you are REQUIRED to talk to each and every person in the area before the story will advance (Including 2 characters who's entire words of wisdom are that they aren't important enough to even have names.) I prefer more choice in my adventure games, even if I am still having fun. This is more of an RPG on rails and it falls short of being a truly awesome game. Hopefully we'll get a sequal that lives up to its potential because the game really is a lot of fun otherwise.

Onward to Victory!

This game is very, very addictive!! The story is almost memorable RPG quality(although not as great as Skies of Arcadia!) and the weapons and armor have so much, it gives u a lot of freedom to design...although Story Mode's battles get weird(like in the middle of the story some battles should be hard but are easy like againist the Police Cheif and some like Sergei in the beginning are a bit hard) but it is a great game go out and rent it first if you are still not sure, but if not get it!

Good but RahuIII is impossible.

This game is great, the camera makes it confusing when doing 2 on 2 battles or 3 on 1(as versus Oboro and Rahu3). I don't know about anyone else but rahu3 is impossible to defeat. He just keeps attacking the hero, and ur partners are no help. I've used most every combination of my parts, It seems this game could do alot better, like make it so you don't have to stick so closely to the story-line. Other than all this, the game is still alright.

Good old fashioned RPG fun -Mech Style!

This game is even better than I expected it to be. It was underrated by video game magazines, probably because it's kind of "old school". What I mean is that there are no voice actors, all the characters speak only in message boxes with pictures of their faces beside them showing various expressions; just like in Grandia. I think that's actually fun! Grandia (the first one) would have been better with no voice actors because the voices were bad!

In this game, you can customize your fighter from the body armor type to the sorts of weapons and legs, each giving you different abilities based on how you like to fight. I'll admit that I really got addicted to that sort of customization ever since Final Fantasy Tactics.

The story of this game impressed me too. All the characters are really fun, including the NPCs, and there's some great manga/anime style humor all throughout the game. The only thing that would have made the game better is if it were a little longer and the story were not as linear; but I could say the same thing about MOST RPGs!

I highly recommend Custom Robo!

Custom Robo- An Instant Classic

This game was awesome. One of the best games I've ever played and is basically the best game this year. The graphics are great. I really enjoyed playing it and got addicted to it thats how good it was. The plot and the ability to customize your robot is excellant. You will enjoy it greatly.
