Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System Description

Exploration and a great deal of shooting/blowing up are the order of the day in this latest third-person action romp from Vivendi. In similar vein to the likes of Ratchet and Clank, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System combines platform elements with much ballistic mayhem as you blast your way to victory in an attempt to rescue a threatened race. The game takes place on the outer rim of a distant galaxy, on a planet of deep secrets and mysterious origin known as Iron Star, which, quite fittingly, is populated by robots. During a disaster in a science lab, a sinister robot with a mind of its own is created - the evil General Corrosive - who, after eliminating his creators, sets out on a mission to build the ultimate army by taking over a robot manufacturing plant. Soon afterwards the pillaging of Iron Star begins and the Droids - the working class robots of the planet - are enslaved by General Corrosive. This is where you come in, as you take control of Glitch, a gun-slinging, half ton menacing bot of Droid City. Starting life out as scrap metal, but transformed into destructive machinery (presumably by some magic dust) Glitch sets off on the quest to free his people (robots?) from the maniac's evil clutches. Obviously, the only way to go about this to load up with a massive arsenal of over-powered weaponry and lay waste to all that stands in his way. The game is made up of over 50 missions full of shooting, sniping, stealth and puzzle-solving, set across six unique environments from above, below and on the surface of Iron Star. As mentioned before, a wealth of different weapons and tools is at your disposal (18 in all) helping you dismantle the army of militia, including the likes of the rivet gun, slingshot and Recruiter - a device that reprograms the AI of enemies to become allies. Along the way, you can also possess and play as one of 12 other friendly and enemy robots, pilot a total of four unique combat vehicles, and also take advantage of a host of different power-ups. As well as the main single-player game, Metal Arms also comes complete with a number of multiplayer modes, allowing up to four players to battle it out, split-screen, and giving you plenty to come back for once you've completed the extensive array of missions.
