This is the best Gamecube game that I have played. No dobt. Really fun and challenging campaign, awsome multi play. It is so great because you can hijack different robots and drive sick vehicles when ever you want (if they are there) You can also use vehicles and robots in multi player. You have a choice of a large number of weapons, choose the right one for a certain situation. One of my all- time favorites right next to Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie.

best game ever

this game is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. its alot like halo and i love hijacking bots. they have vehicles too. they also have weapons from a slingshot to a flamethrower. Multiplayer is great. this is my favorite game. One of my favorite things about this game is you can shoot or punch the enemy's arms, legs, and weapons and they will break off! it is useful against the big bots called titans because it takes three punches per leg to break them off. Then after that, he cant walk!This is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal crunching fun!!

This is the sleeper hit of the year folks,buy this game,you don't know what your missing.The weapons are fun and cool to use,
my favoriot is the scatter blaster.The graphics are't the best in the world,but,
it makes up for it in gameplay,there so many ways to complete a level,you could go in all gun-ho or,go and be a
sniper,then you could take a tank for a joyride gta style!Then theres the multiplayer,you and your buddies will be playing for weeks(a sidenote,
the PS2 only supports two players,while GC an XBOX support four.)
So buy this game now,if it sells enough,we might get a seqeul!

I just find Metal Arms so much fun, its just one of those first person shooter games. Game Cube needs more good games, and when I tried out Metal Arms for the first time, I was in Love. If it weren't for the Robots as the main characters, It might not be as good. And I love the added bits of Cursing in it. I'm always looking for a 4-player game so when I invite my friends over, we can all play, and Have Tremendous Amounts of fun! I could play this game for hours, and the possibilitys in Multi-Player is Endless! I strongly encourage you to buy this game.

This game is action packed and long, with over 40 fun missions. Theres alot of weapons to choose from and vehicals to drive. You can play against each other in an all out brawl in multiple levels. I love this game!

Lots of Fun

This game is great, while the difficulty may be a issue for some, the game is very rewarding. At least 30+ hours of gameplay

I liked this game. You die a lot, so don't have a breakdown if you have to start at the checkpoint again, however, you have infinite lives. I love the weapons in the game, especially the explosive ones. Metal Arms Sports good cutscenes. At the beginning, it makes fun of Public Information films, with the history of Iron Star.b BUY THIS GAME. BTW, im 14, no personal info I want to share.

Great fun for 3rd person shooter fans

I bought this game 2 1/2 years ago and am currently playing it again - about halfway through now.

Wow, what fun it still is! No game is perfect, but Metal Arms is a real bundle of fun.

First up is the humor. You have the bleeped-out, ornery sergeant-type for many of the cut scenes. There's the almost cruely comical way enemy soldiers suffer damage - running away, sometimes hiding, yelling "Ouch!", busted arms making them fire randomly into the air as they panic - it's a real laugh. Sometimes you get caught up in the action and don't notice; then you snipe a soldier through your scope, watch him hop around in a panic with a mangled, malfunctioning arm, and just have to giggle.

The environments are very well done and graphics still look good today. There's really no reason to criticize it from a looks standpoint unless you're one of those who recoils in horror because a character occastionally stands on empty air at the edge of a platform, rock, etc.

The variety of weapons is great (most weapons are analogous to real weapons - the mining laser is a, well, laser; the bolt gun is essentially a sniper rifle; core charges are grenades; etc.) and ammo is dropped by defeated enemies or available in crates with enough regularity that you almost never run dry of everything. Plus you can buy more (and upgrades) from the funny weapons dealers (the silent one is named Pockets, and the dealer introduces him with a comment about Pockets maybe going blind, hence the name, and another source of humor). My hands-down favorite is the Recruiter Grenade. Throw it at a big, mean, hard-to-kill enemy and he's instantly reprogrammed to be your personal slave robot, turning on his former alies and blowing everyone away for you (unless he gets whacked himself). The only problem here is that washers, your currency, don't exactly rain down on you and you never seem to have enough.

It lasts quite a while, too, so no 4-hours-and-done problems here, and you can take your time and look around for hidden items. There's not a lot of problem-solving beyond basically figuring out what's needed to get through a stage, and it's usually pretty easy to figure out, but you do have to think a little and look carefully.

Aiming is the only real flaw of this game. You have to fire with your right finger while aiming with your right thumb. This is hard for my brain to wire and even by the end of the game I find myself moving around to aim more than moving my targeting reticule.

I highly recommend this game. It's funny, the action is good, the graphics are good, the environments look cool, and it actually has a reasonable plot.

Freekin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is the funnest thing I've played in years. I've had this game since the week it came out and Im still not tired of it. You get all sorts of cool weapons and you can drive some kick @$$ vehicles. They also have some funny jokes every now and then. If you like explosions, GET THIS!

This game rocks!!!
