Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

"There are absolutely no problems with this game....NONE!"

This game has to be one of the best games i have played in a very long time. I just bought this game not to long ago (for only $20!) and is the best game I have played this year. I have yet to find one problem with this game.

Graphics-10- The graphics are can be summed up in one word....perfect. I have yet to find a texture with muddy details or a glitch in any part of the game. this may just be me, but so far this game has been perfect.

Controls-10- The controls work very well and correspond to the controller the way you'd expect a third person shooter to be like (A=jump, b=melee, R trigger fire etc....) This game reminds me about the controls from halo (and oddly enough, if you compare the instruction booklets from this game and halo, they look almost exactly the same!) To sum it up, the controls work very well.

Gameplay-10- The gameplay is really, really well done. You just can't seem to get bored of running around and blowing up robots all day. It's pretty amazing to watch how the robots blow up. It gives you a satisfying feeling to see a grunt (halo!?!?) blow up and scatter into hundreds of pieces.

Voices/music- The voices are nicely done (especially the guy that swears about every 4 seconds) for every droid around. The music does fit the game, but there could be more of it in the game. the sound effects really pull this subject matter together, making you believe you really are a playing as a half ton robot.

Pros- Every aspect of this game are well done. The graphics, gameplay, and controls are great. The story-line isn't that deep, but it moves you along and gives you a break between levels. There are also 40 missions to play from...thats right...40! The price isn't too steep either, only $20 bucks. I strongly recommend picking up this game.

Cons- None!

Extras- There aren't many extras in this game besides collecting secret chips to unlock new multiplayer levels. Not the best extra ever, but its not bad either.

Sum it up- Get this game...you must buy this game. what else do you need to know? It's a great game and only $20. I really hope they come out with a sequel for this game.
