PS-The game is awesome, closest thing you'll probably ever find to real life robot combat.

"Nothing else like it, great value"
The "quality/price ratio", as I like to call it, is incredible on this game. You can design and customize your robots to fine detail.

You start by building a chassis (bot shape); then you add battery packs, motors, tires, weapons, and other gadgets; you then specify the controls for your new robot;followed by a custom paint job and textures (complete with brushed metal and scratches).

After testing your bot to make sure you programmed it correctly, you can put it in an arena with up to four other bots (computerized or humans via LAN or Internet) and endure massive carnage.

The battle physics are incredibly lifelike. My favorite aspect is the damage you can inflict. A good hit to the armor of an enemy bot with a sledge hammer will create a very believable dent, possibly breaking off their weapon or one of their wheels.

If you've ever seen those battle bot TV shows... Robot Arena: Design and Destroy is very close to the real thing. I gave it four stars only because you cannot expand on the game with mods. Unless, of course, I'm mistaken.

"Cool Game"
This game is not like the other games out there, it actually allows you to build your own robot without using default chassis. (You can edit pre-made chassis though).The fact that you can design the chassis using a grid is amazing. And you don't have to worry about money when building the robots.

P.S.: I had no problems playing it on my computers. I have one with Windows 2000, and one with Windows XP.

"barbre's review"
Please ignore the review by barbre ("Windows killer"), as it is filled with misinformation and, quite frankly, stupidity.

I will address the rest to barbre him/herself...

About the sound card - If you had cared or had the intelligence to look more carefully, you would have checked the master volume controls, and seen that Wave is muted. No need to uninstall your sound card and "let plug and play find it".
Your comment about DirectX ("I should have known better...") is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time - "Oh no, version 9 is newer than 8.1, so 8.1 will surely destroy my computer!" - and given the fact you're running the abominable, sickening, eye-candy-filled terrible excuse for an operating system called Windows XP, I must come to the conclusion you are, indeed, of very little brainpower.

So, everyone: Do ignore that review until Amazon (hopefully) deletes it.

(Oh, and the game is great. 5 stars easily.)
