Look, this is a old game with a great atmosphere, I love its style and the look of the gun and arm of you machine. Robotica is super metallic, by that I mean there is no organic life I've seen anywhere so far and I don't think I will right until the end either hense the name Deadalus or Robotica. It's a bit slow on the controls, but they are quite smooth. It's music is some of the best ever heard in a fps, It's eeire and dramatic, one senses something epic is changing in makinds history as there is an attempt to over through a massive machine system (Deadalus)that has gaurded earths people from their own waring nature for hundreds of years, now however the new generations want it gone since it was set up by people hundreds of years ago, not that the deadalus system is doing anything wrong so far. The game does capture the emptyness of the machines which is quite beautiful as you can almost feel the warmth of you human body inside your mech or rather your Laocorn-class Assault Robot. Also how the machines don't need light to see is clever, but you will have to find light switches on certain levels. Robotica is playable and the weapon upgrades add depth to the gameplay, but watch out for weapon downgrades! I was going to give this game a bad review until I found out you could skip back to the level you left off on with a cheat. Hold L and R shoulder pads on control pad 1 the hold start on controller 2 at the same time for about 2 seconds, Then repeat....I personlly just return to when the last fmv played, so the challenge is still there and you have to fight hard through 4 or 5 levels to get to the next new style graphically textured section with different music. Basically the levels that don't look the same as each other. If I had to go through the same stuff every time(right from the beginning!) when I turned the Saturn on I'd agree with the people who said it was junk. Well I can't see a save feature anywhere in the game so far. So thanks to what effectivly is a password system to me. I give Robotica its credit for being the most atmosphereic and depressing doom style game ever made.Read full review
First Person Shooters have come a long way since the days of 8-bit and 16-bit, and even this 32-bit game. You can not compare this game to modern FPS's since we Americans have pushed the envelope to realistic head-shots and blood splattering mindless kills. In this game, you shoot robots. No blood and less inhumane - just some robotic machinery. The graphics are about as good as you can find on the Sega Saturn. The game seems a little dark but then, why would robots need bright light in the corridors that you must pass through? The controls seem fine and the sound is great. During the opening sequence you may start to think, OH NO, NOT ANOTHER CHEEZY SHOOTER but then game play starts and you start to think OH YES, TIME TO ROAM THROUGH THIS JOINT AND BAG A FEW ROBOTS. The halls and doors and freedom of movement is actually pretty good for an oldish game and console. Might be the best FPS in an enclosed setting for the Sega Saturn. Compare to DOOM only you shoot robots, not people and the graphics and sound are much better. Also compare to GHEN WAR only much more to see in this one.Read full review
