Preview  Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction
- By Travis Coats
In just over 4 years the Robot Wars TV series has grown from cult status to become a massive worldwide phenomenon, with the BBC show now attracting a weekly audience of around four million viewers. Taking its cue from the latest series, Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction cranks up the action with new events, new robots, new arenas and a wide range of new game features.
All the elements of the TV show: Players can design and build their own robots, drawing upon a database of body parts, armor, engines, wheels and weapons. Once complete, battle can commence!
A quick start ‘pick up and play’ function: Gamers can select from a range of pre-built robots, and get straight to the realistic 3D action, which includes:
New and improved 3D arenas: Players can fight around a desert outpost, sub-zero station, iron foundry, or an acid factory.
Ten different game types: These include Robot football and sumo competitions.
More robots: The RefBot oversees the destruction, while the most popular of the US robots and a range of new competitor robots join the fray.
Multi-play: Roboteers can fight one another across the variety of landscapes.
Trade weapons and robot parts: With secret component stores unlocked by successful play, the ability to trade rare weapons and useful Robot body parts with other players via a link cable becomes available. The ultimate goal is to find all the parts to the mythical Gold Robot!
They say talk is cheap, so how about taking a peek at the enormous amount of screens of this game in action.
