The Dean Kamen action figure complete with workable I-Bot. And coming soon to a store near you: The Woodie Flowers action figure complete with detailed and removable vest of pins.

This is the review of Robot Arena from PC Gamer:

"If you're expecting a groovy new Quake III expansion pack, you've entered the wrong arena."

A few qoutes from the article:

"Weapon selections are sparse."

"Arena combat is so simple, it should be marketed to kids as Tonka Robot Arena."

"The enemy AI is so lame."

"When you play via TCP/IP or LAN, 'bots freeze or warp back & forth around the arena."

"None of the mechanical mayhem or pseudo-strategy from the TV shows survived the adapaptation to the PC."

Final Verdict

Highs:
Nice damage modeling and sound effects; decent weapon special effects.

Lows: Way to easy; boring combat; terrible enemy AI; buggy multiplayer mode.

Bottom Line: If you can read this review, you're too old for Robot Arena.

Rating: 32% - Don't Bother.

Keep in mind this is what PC Gamer said.
