    RoboBlitz is one of the very best, if not the best Xbox Live Arcade release so far - and one of the few titles from the Arcade that's great enough to have stood on its own as a full commercial release.

    No disrespect to "Frogger" and "Bejeweled", but Xbox Live Arcade needs more games like Roboblitz. Score one for the next-generation, Tin Man. [Jan. 2007, p.73]

    RoboBlitz is a quaint and easy puzzle game with some very nice visuals, and a very cheap price tag.

    With further add-ons and weapons to play around with, such as hover guns, tractor beams and point-to-point gravity pull, there's a lot of fun to be had. [Issue # 16, p.114]

    Considering the 50 MB limit posed by Microsoft on all Xbox Live Arcade games, RoboBlitz’s great Unreal Engine 3 powered graphics are made all the more extraordinary. If only the gameplay were up to the same snuff.

    The main problem with RoboBlitz, even without the little hitches, is that the game isn't very exciting. The puzzles aren't terribly intricate or deep and the little enemies that are tossed at you feel a bit forced.

    Part action game and part puzzle game. While it isn’t the best at either genre, it is a rather entertaining but short and expensive game. If the multiplayer and other content is released at no cost, I reserve the right to revise my feelings accordingly.

    I was a little disappointed when I finally bought this game.

    The camera was fine, I don't know what Andyman was talking about. The    I was a little disappointed when I finally bought this game.

    The camera was fine, I don't know what Andyman was talking about. The main problem was the control. Not the controls; the button layout made sense and everything, that was fine. But the overall tactile experience of controlling Blitz was sluggish and imprecise enough to be extremely frustrating, especially in situations where maneuvering was key, like the boss fights.
    That's the other thing that bothered me. I was expecting a puzzle game, but was fine with some fights and simple combat. But they made combat too hard. Enemies in general are placed poorly for a puzzle/platformer, and some of them have way too much health for the level of combat this game should have. More than 1/3 of the levels were straight boss fights, with some strategy, but not puzzle solving. And those levels together took just as long as the rest of the game, only were far more frustrating.
    I haven't mentioned the pros, though, and there are plenty. Cool style, nice puzzles, cool upgrades, great graphics (hard to believe it's less than 50 megs). It's a really fun puzzle game. But the baffling overemphasis on combat, combined with the frustratingly sluggish controls really spoil a game that could have been just great fun.    … Expand

    It's got an appealing visual style, and the gameplay shows potential... but if they'd spent even a minute refining the camera so It's got an appealing visual style, and the gameplay shows potential... but if they'd spent even a minute refining the camera so it's not always right where you DON'T want it to be, they'd have a game worth buying (although probably not for 1200 points). As it is now, the camera makes the game virtually unplayable, and that's a shame because this could have been great fun.… Expand
