    Imaginative graphics and superb sound, a sprawling adventure packed full of neat touches and cool weapons, great humour and an accomplished multiplayer; Glitch embodies what games are really all about - challenge, entertainment and fun.

    It's not hard to fall in love with the gameplay, as it is solid and as instinctive as you can get... nor is it difficult to become enamored with the overall style of the game.

    A surprisingly well-made action-shooter with a lot of heart. The game successfully merges a light-hearted storyline with some seriously intense combat, a good measure of strategy and a fun multiplayer mode. Oh, and the weapons in this title are downright awesome.

    Less endearing is the proliferation of 'bleeped' language.

    The difficulty level is impressively even, remaining challenging enough to hold the attention, but rarely crossing too far into frustration.

    Wow, what a great game! From the wicked weapons to the vicious enemies that you battle against and some great vehicles that you can drive, Wow, what a great game! From the wicked weapons to the vicious enemies that you battle against and some great vehicles that you can drive, this epic game has something for everyone. Many people are trying to draw some comparisons to "Halo," but this little robot title can stand on its own when compared to other software giants. Not only can you hijack larger and more powerful robots, but you can also jump into cool tanks and blast hoards of 'bots to pieces. Add to that a devious sense of humor and great multiplayer matches, and you have a complete picture of what might be one of the few sleeper hits of this year. The only reason I didn't give this game a perfect 10 is due to occasional frame-rate troubles and the lack of XBox Live playability. Go out and get this game if you love playing a good shooter that doesn't take itself too seriously.… Expand

    One of the most underrated games of the year. It's like Halo meets Sonic meets MechWarrior. Very fun and funny. Amazingly creative. One of the most underrated games of the year. It's like Halo meets Sonic meets MechWarrior. Very fun and funny. Amazingly creative. Multiplayer is great and should last me and my friends until Halo 2. I agree that it has some frame-rate problems, but that doesn't detract from a great time. Get it.… Expand

    Excellent game. An action shooter thats doesn't feel like every other action shooter out there. Very well may be my best game on the box.

    Assez beau, maniable et plutôt amusant malgré son côté enfantin, Metal Arms échoue sur ses sauvegardes trop espacées et un côté arcadeAssez beau, maniable et plutôt amusant malgré son côté enfantin, Metal Arms échoue sur ses sauvegardes trop espacées et un côté arcade beaucoup trop prononcé et agaçant (ennemis incessants sur lesquels il faut tirer des plombes, ça finit par soûler). Rapidement répétitif, un jeu qui montre rapidement ses limites, déjà très limitées par défaut.… Expand
