Does anyone remember a game called RISE OF THE ROBOTS ? I had this on my Amiga 500+ and I have to say it was one the worst games I have ever played in my life. The hype was pretty big leading up to it. The potential was there for it to be one of the most advanced titles for its day. The graphics were incredible. I think there were about eight Robots in total and each one had an amazing metalic coat which shined in exactly the right way as it moved around the screen. The sound effects too were brilliant as you could imagine, two huge metal machines battling it out. Everything was looking good as it instantly attracted you with the way it looked and sounded.......then came the gameplay.
To begin with each character had a total of three(3) moves each. Left Hit, Right Hit, Special. Most of the time each move was nowhere near the character even though you were standing inches away. Bouts went on forever and you could only pull off a special move once your spirit meter had built up, which itself took a hell of a time. Each fight took place in front of one backdrop. A blank featurless wall with a couple of boxes in the corners. That is just about all there was to it. This game was so poor it is just frightning to realise it was actually released.
I remember reading a lot of reviews of the game at the time (about early/middle 90's). The best review score given was 12%. I think that just about sums it all up. What was even more unbelievable was that they released a sequel whiich one magazine gave it a grand total of 0%, how did it get that far???
Has anyone else had a game this bad?
