    Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is a button-mashy, overly simplistic fighter that's aimed at young kids but doesn't even manage to lift its game enough to satisfy a junior audience on any level outside of very basic fan service. There's a serious lack of modes or variety here, especially for the not-insignificant price tag, and what is included is let down by a lazy story mode and some shockingly simple enemy AI. Serious Zoids fans may derive some fleeting pleasure from seeing their favourite characters battle it out, but, for everyone else, this is a mega-hard sell and a fighter that absolutely fades into insignificance when compared to other examples of its genre.

However, this is no where near on the level of other battle arena games like Ninja Storm and Gotcha Force makes this looks like a joke. The game design choices was way too numb down.

    Would be better off getting a 4 legged Mech in Armored Core.    … Full Review »

    Tons of content, not enough care
    Zoidswild Blast Unleashed is a fighting game based off of the anime Zoids wild, and I’m a bit impressed as much as I am disappointed in zoidswild...
    Theres so much content here, 16 characters and different forms of those characters to unlock.. I just would’ve liked a little more effort put into this game overall…
    The main chunk of content outside of the obvious 2 player versus modes is this games lengthy story mode, you get to play through this story mode as most of this games characters to unlock them all, and there is even a secret story mode to unlock which is the exact same thing as regular story mode, just with alternate zoids… so the good news is there is so much content and unlockable here in zoidswild.. The bad news though is that not nearly enough care went into making the story mode any interesting.. you would think a game based off of an anime would have an interesting story to follow.. the work is alrady done for you.. just turn it into a game like the budokai series did for dragon ball z., but sadly its just a hey we don’t like you, well we don’t like you story, lets fight eachother, youll get play as the good guys and the bad guys.. thankfully each zoid in this game feels unique enough to keep the battles feeling decently fresh.. but outside of the feel.. the combat here in zoidswild is so simple that I cant see it being a staple in your fighting collection, moves are as simple as waiting or a bar to fill up and holding down the button need to unleash it.. feeling almost like a real time pokemon game… zoidswild blast unleashed is laughably easy for the most part of its story, only getting a little challenging when the computer learns how to spam press the block button later on… thankfully the secret side of the story does offer more challenge though.. that being said, zoids wild blast unleashed is an okay casual fighting game.. it takes a while to get bored of going through the motions, unlocking new charactrs and skins.. I jst wish there were more dragging me thorugh.. Such as a story mode with some effort, care, stakes, and cut scenes… I again felt for the most part I was going through the motions trying to see all there is to see...
    I can see fans of zoids wild being content with this game, but there isn’t enough here to create any new fans unfortunately..
    I give Zoidswild Blast Unleashed
