    I had to give this game a 4. Indeed it had good graphics and was a good idea that went wrong... Horribly wrong. Perhaps it's just me but I hate the cheap laughs these games try to get. I want to get into the game, take it seriously, but I can't when the robots act like f'ing idiots. If you're the kind of gamer who is 12 or under, are famale, over 50 or like cute games I had to give this game a 4. Indeed it had good graphics and was a good idea that went wrong... Horribly wrong.

If you're the kind of gamer who is 12 or under, are famale, over 50 or like cute games like anything beginning with "Mario" then this might be up your alley... … Expand

    Assez 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.

    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.

    Second only to "Halo," Arms is the best shooter on Xbox. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.80]
