comments: For so many fighting games, it's surprising
that the beat 'em up genre never took off on the Neo Geo. Burning Fight
and Sengoku 1 and 2 didn't age well at all, and Sengoku 3 and Ganryu will
never see the light of day on the CD system, and while Mutation Nation
came very close, Robo Army probably ranks as the best game money can buy
on the Neo CD. Graphically the gameplay is wonderful for its age, with
large and well animated character sprites and detailed and interesting
game levels. Sure there's no complex scrolling or any junk like you'd
see on Metal Slug 3 (god why can't they keep making CD games!!! I sit through
2 minutes of load times each level for MS3!!!), but who can pay any attention
why your busting enemy robots in the face with your metal arm. Music gets
the gameplay pumping and the controls are tight (which was the problem
with Mutation Nation). The game is a bit short but who cares, what's here
is fun and the 2 player is a blast to play. Robo ! Army 2 please??? :)

comments: This game has to be 1 of the best scrolling
beat em ups on the Neo Geo CD System. First you have to chose your player,
either be a marene cyborg type person, or a near totally cyborg person.
And go around destroying veriuse robots, including fighting bots, flame
throwing
bots, aqua Bots and many animal form type bots like birds, dogs , spiders
and even Gorillas. The game has some great levels too, including streets,
sewers and even a police station. 2 level in the game include jumping rope
to rope and collecting power ups while beating enemies. Pick ups include
life and cars, barrels and even some robots fallen off limbs. Basically,
the game is not one which you will get bored of fast and is a great compared
to the likes of Burning Fight, Mutation Nation and even Sengoku. Its a
all around smack and destroy fest, and with 2 players, it will be the
most entertaining game you have played on your Neo Geo CD.
score: 10 / Out of Ten
