Gameplay

When the player firsts starts this game, they start with 2000 credits and a robot called "My First Bot". The player can sell this robot and get an extra 1350 credits to spend on a new one. A range of parts, armour, weapons and extras can be bought at different prices in the shop, or a smaller range at the scrapyard. The game has a customisable control system.

The player fights robots in championships around the world, starting at Robot Wars London studio, in order to gain prize money to unlock new levels. In the later tournaments, they need to pay money in order to go into the tournament.

The House Robots cannot be played as, won, or bought by the player, but can be pitted-against them in a one-to-one training confrontation. The RefBot is not included in this largely-Series 4 based game, but appears in the subsequent title Extreme Destruction.

Craig Charles does not appear in the game, even though he had been the presenter of the series since its second series, but the show's commentator, Jonathan Pearce, provides commentary on statistics of the battle, the information relative to the arena and a description of the robots competing.

In the game there is a total of 57 custom built robots (including My First Bot) to use in competition and arcade mode. There are only a handful of competitor robots that actually appeared in the televised series, including Razer, Chaos 2 and Hypno-Disc.

Reception

Robot Wars: Arenas Of Destruction has received mixed to negative reviews. CVG awarded the game 56 out of 100, citing unresponsive controls and lack of difficulty as the reasons for the low score. It has a GameRankings score of 41.00% and 50.50% for the PC and PlayStation 2 versions respectively.
