GMR MagazineHolding back the fun are severe slowdown and scripting problems; hectic firefights and complex rooms often crush the game's framerate, and some event triggers can be irrevocably hung up, forcing a restart. [Dec 2003, p.92]
-
Simply put it borrows a hatful of ideas, implements them well but never truly wows you as a landmark gaming experience.

games(TM)Highly entertaining and, above all, fun. Despite being filled with all manner of videogame cliches, Metal Arms somehow feels refreshingly new and not at all like the cobbled together title that it so undoubtedly is. [Christmas 2003, p.103]
-
The fun factor for me was killed with a focus on trial-and-error against near-impossible enemies.
-
Even though, at its core, Metal Arms isn't too different from most other run 'n gun games, the variety of mission types keeps this title from getting old.
