Custom Robo

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gba...ata/30693.html - news to me, man.

jeremy, the main complaints with gocha force is that the voice acting is really bad, im not talking resident evil bad, i mean kids putting no emotion into their nonsensical lines whatsoever bad,and the writing is worse than an episode of beyblade. its best to just ignore the story entirely and focus on the game, which is not as deep as virtual on at all, but each charcter does have a aprticular play style, none are particularly deep, but you can string together a pretty good team of gocha borgs, thought there are soem that are uber and some that are bench material, thats the best complaints i can think of, collecting nuts should check it out, but the lack of a cmpelling story, or objectives other than clear the field really hamper replay, luckily im an unlockable nut, so i enjoyed it, but those are the main complaints.

Damian79 thought it prudent for me to post this, since I started the thread, but I told him he'd get the credit for bringing it to my attention.

Game Summary
The story takes place on an unknown planet in the not-too-distant future. On this world, a surge in crime involving dangerous, miniature robotic weapons known as Custom Robos occurs. Those that manipulate the Custom Robos are commonly called “Commanders,” and through specialized training, they learn to manipulate the robots’ actions through the use of brain waves. One day, the hero and his comrades learn of an incredibly strong robot with autonomous maneuvering capabilities. In their search for a logical explanation regarding the existence of this powerful foe, the hero and his comrades uncover a secret about an event that occurred on this planet several hundred years ago ...

Features

-Leap into a mechanized melee! Hone your skills in the single-player role-playing game as you progress through a deep sci-fi storyline.

-Make your own soldier! Customize robots by choosing from more than 200 different parts and weapons, then test their one-of-a-kind abilities against other robots in one of 30 battle arenas.

-See if your custom robot can survive the frantic, chaotic action of a four-player battle royale, two-on-two vs. Battle mode, or Tag-Team battle match!

-Battle it out with three other players on a single screen (rather than split-screen), and enjoy a great multi-player party experience. You can customize your own robot, then test its power in battle arenas against other players’ robots.

as for custom robo, is that the overall new demo disc?

---

Yes. Dropped off by our friendly neighborhood Nintendo rep, herself (by "friendly," I mean "fat, ugly pig-lady").

I am very interested in custom robo, does it compare to something like armored core, as far as customization goes? you mention guns, are there close combat weapons too?

---

If there are close combat weapons, they weren't present in the demo, but there is a melee charge-type attack.

It isn't like Armored Core, as you don't really design the body of the mech. You choose a body type, but you customize it's stats, weapons, and color. This sound pretty basic, but once you see how certain weapons work as a team better than certain others, the customization aspects go through the roof, and the strategy involved with outfitting your mech is phenominal.

That's the gameplay view, and the game 100x better for it.

thanks.

frostwolf, thanks for the info, voice acting doesn't bother me too much, and it's a mech game, so a plot doesn't matter to me much either. Just so long as the game is enjoyable, my money will be well spent.

It isn't enjoyable. :p
