Zachary luft rates this game: 5/5Very fun game only us release in the series. The storyline is realistic and not too 'out there'. It's a world where people use small robots in virtual collesiums to fight instead of a fistfight. It's a MUST if you are a video game player at all and #2 of starfox adventures.
Vince says:Custom Robo, the first title in the series to get a US release, is AWESOME. In the world of Custom Robo, people customize small robots (the titular Custom Robos) and use them in matches against one another. Not only is there a story mode, but also a VS mode and plenty of customization.
Pontinho rates this game: 4/5The graphics are awesome and the sound is so clear that you can hear your robot's feet clang along the ground even when your friends are blowing stuff up and making a lot of noise. I wish this game had less talking and more fighting, and the story is kind of dumb, but in a way it is realistic. But this game is still good. Multiplayer is fun but the customizing makes it kind of complicated. So when you are gonna play with a friend make sure you know what guns your gonna use.
MasterBakerMike rates this game: 5/5I felt people haven't given this wondrous game the attention it deserves, so I made an account.
Custom Robo is one of the best games the Gamecube has to offer. Of the series, this is the only one that reached America.
You start off the game as someone needing a job, so you join basically a bounty hunter-like business that utilize Custom Robos and engage in battle with evildoers!
As the game suggest, you customize your robo from the legs to the chest, boosters, guns, bombs, and so on. You can also unlock quite a variety of robos to use as well.
The combat can be a little odd at first, you'll soon find yourself gliding around the stage, dodging bombs and cannon fire while returning your own. The maps are plentiful and some have things in them such as fire, moving platforms, changing platforms, and such.
This is also fantastic to play with friends.
The single player game can bog you down with a steady stream of cheesy jokes and plot, but it can be funny, and at times, rather addicting. Character designs were done rather well and the game has enough personality to give you a second one.
I recommend this game to anyone who missed out on the beauty that was the Gamecube.
