Rating: Summary: Nothing else like it, great value Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: game would be great if multiplayer worked right Review: this game is a good one only if you like playing single player.there have been so many problems with multiplayer that game is almost impossible to play against anyone else.if you go to the aceuplink site you will see all the post about the multiplayer problems.despite all the post and emails to gabriel and infogrames they have done nothing to fix mutliplyer.its been over 3 months and still there is no fix for the MP problems.it looks like the makers of the game are giving up on RA2.nothing is being said about a fix and now the offical RA2 site is closed.playing single player is all played out and game is not fun unless we can play MP.if multiplayer problems are fixed game would be great.
Rating: Summary: Could Be BETTER!!! Review: This game is like the first Robot Arena. I have seen the first Robot Arena's reviews and I can agree. This one is even better. This game has new arenas. Making a robot [is not a bad thing] anymore. You can have a two wheel robot. There is also an arena that you can hit cones, go over ramps, and do other things in the practice arena. Heres something eles you can spry paint your robot. In the first Robot Arena you could be one color. But now you can have any colors you want. But before you do any of that, you can make the shape you want your robot to be.You can score points when you fight. The kinds fights you do are one on one,table match,and more. There are 5 total.There is one more thing you might I say you might get to do spiltscreen. What that means is you can fight at the same time and use the same keyboard. I don't know for sure. .
Rating: Summary: Cool Game Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Much improved! Review: This is much improved over it's predecessor. Many more options, your bots are really customizable now! The lost point is due to AI that is a little easy, and the fact that it can be really tricky to get a bot that is perfectly aligned so the wheels drive right.

Rating: Summary: Great Game Review: This is probably the best game ever. Much butter then then Robot Arena 1. The game has great physics where you can be lifted off the ground flips and sometimes sent flying by another robot. The robot workshop is really cool have unlimited possibilities. I can't stop playing the game because of the great fighting with four robots. The game also is realitsic and anyone who doesn't like this game is surely "blind"
Rating: Summary: Robot Arena2:Design And Destroy Review: 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.
