    Decent graphics, clever gameplay, awesome soundtrack. I never thought being a midget robot would be so much fun. Pick up Metal Arms if your into tight gamplay and colourful cast. Fantastic game

    A fantastic 3rd person shoot em up, with a deceptive level of strategy to the combat. The variety of guns ensure you will never tire of dismantling those bots who stand against you.

    Amazing game with great graphics and with an impressive destruction system
    But the game unfortunately has sometimes unintentional bad AI and sometimes when using the scope on some enemies their health will be displayed as 100% even after damaging the enemy
    But besides that, the comedy is great and balanced And trying to beat it 100% is challenging since the some secret chips are hidden    Amazing game with great graphics and with an impressive destruction system

    And trying to beat it 100% is challenging since the some secret chips are hidden very well , but unfortunately doing so only unlocks multiplayer stages    … Expand

    It's even cool like the destruction of robots, smoke particles, real-time physics. But the game is difficult.. you have to shoot many shots to kill an enemy while you die easily. Not to mention the noises the robot makes which is ridiculous! Sounds like a ladyboy talking

    It's is familiar in gameplay, yet unique because you're a droid.

    Full of stuff to blow up and laced with detail. Metal Arms is a great game.

    Coming out of nowhere and with little fanfare, this is certainly one of the genre's better titles. The only problem is that it's hard to identify with a cute robot who makes other cute(ish) robots break apart.
