Jan 29, 2011Maddeningly obtuse design more often than not makes Spare Parts an exercise in irritation rather than fun.
-
Jan 26, 2011Imprecise controls and repetitive gameplay hampers this downloadable cooperative adventure.
-
Jan 25, 2011Spare Parts is a game with a fun premise and solid ideas, but the execution of that premise and those ideas are, at best, entirely muddled.
-
Feb 22, 2011Spare Parts feels like a movie license game without a movie, and not even the interesting things - like co-op and Simon Pegg's voice - manage to brighten up this bland and uninspiring affair.
-
Feb 15, 2011It pains me to speak so harshly about a product that has the delightful Simon Pegg attached, but Spare Parts is down there with Yaris as one of the worst XBLA has to offer.

-
Jan 26, 2011Call it Ratchet and Crank-lite if you want, but that's giving Spare Parts a bit too much credit. You are looking at about 3 to 4 hours of play time, most of which is reliant on monotonous combat.

Jan 25, 2011It's a short and rather insipid slog that simply doesn't have the charm or ambition to compensate for its wonkier aspects.
