    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).

    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    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

    Wow, this game can be strange, but is amazing, the gameplay is addictive, the music, controls, graphics, all be interesting in this game of Microsoft Game Studios. RoboBlitz is a new classic.

    I found it to be a great-looking game that has some fun challenges—but more often than not ended up being unbalanced and frustrating.

    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.

    RoboBlitz may be a tad on the short side, but at around 15 bucks, the price of admission is perfect for the amount of fun you'll have with this game.
