Custom Robo Arena
Review by water_bird
"A new age of games has begun"
Everyones heard of Pokemon, and Mario is a commonly heard of game. But Custom Robo Arena? Chances are, nobody's heard of it. A new age of games has begun. The age of Custom Robo!
---------------
Storyline-9
---------------
Ok, the storyline here is not the most original. You just started out with a Custom Robo ,you are trying to become the champion, and your dad wants you to join the police force.Sounds like Pokemon, right. It's exactly like Pokemon. But on the way to becoming the champion, you face other challenges. Who is the old man on top of Mt. Zephyr? What is soulboost? Why does your friend, Liz, want you to join the police squad so badly? There are so many more.

Graphics-10
----------------
Wow. Just wow. The graphics in this game aren't anything you would expect. While the out-of-battle graphics are sub par, the in-battle graphics are....wow. The sprites are crystal clear, with virtually no fuzziness.That basically sums up the graphics.
-------------
Length-8
-------------
I don't know about you, but the length of a game is a huge factor for me. The length of the main storyline is, if you only follow the story doing no training and play every day, is 15 hours. That would be too short for me, but the grudge matches make this game so much longer, it isn't even funny. I had this game for a month and I didn't beat even half of the grudge matches. Not to mention wi-fi. This games wi-fi hooks you for hours every day.

Wi-fi- 10
------------
Wifi is another way to make this game longer. During wi-fi, you usually only have to wait less than a minute until you find someone to battle. although there may be some lag and spammers make wi-fi a challenge, there aren't that many spammers and there rarely is lag. This games wifi is the best Ive played.

Gameplay-10
-----------------
So basically, the length is great, the wi-fi is awesome and the graphics are just stunning. While the storyline is average, it does not take away from the overall quality of the game. You fight the in battle game with standard controls. X, attack, A, jump, B, gun, R, bomb, L ,pod and D-pad, move. But there is so much more to do. You can make combo moves by using three or more weapons not in a row. In fact, some battles require you make a certain amount of combo damage. Outside of battle game, you walk around, usually going places or buying parts. You can even fight criminal commanders and collect bounty for them as you progress in the game. This game has very, very nice gameplay.
---------------
Rent or Buy
---------------
Definite buy. If you are a fan of the past games, then buy this one. If you are not a fan then definitely buy this and tell your friends how great this game is.
While you know you can never go wrong with a Pokemon or Mario game, Custom Robo games are something you should get in to. Have fun with this game!
