As you might expect,
Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction is the game of the TV programme. The aim, put at its simplest, is to build the best robot you can, and watch it destroy the competition--or watch the competition destroy your creation. Your first task, then, has to be to design your own robot. A visit to the shop lets you buy components, or, if the budget is tight, the scrap yard might be a better bet. Weapons, armour and power of some sort are all required, and if there's any money left in the kitty you can add some extras, even down to deciding a paint scheme. When you're happy with your robot, the battle can commence.
The Robot Wars arena is reminiscent of the TV programme, and you could content yourself simply with building better and better robots with which to pound the opposition. Alternatively, there's a training ground for honing skills, and a robot trading area, where you can buy and sell bots. There are numerous playing options, ranging from a full tournament to a free-play mode in which you can choose a location depending on how many credits you've won in previous battles.
Robot Wars is an addictive game which is all the more fun if you can play it with a friend. Let the tournament begin! --Sandra Vogel
Product Description
The game is structured around a Robot workshop, featuring an array of components, including bodyshells, weapons and armour, allowing almost limitless variations of robot creation. And if you don't want to build your own or practise, you can select from one of the pre-built robots and get straight into battle. And finally--Robot Wars! You can select the classic television arena, or one of a number of international venues. Now you can go head to head with the infamous house robots, accompanied by a driving soundtrack and commentary.
