Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem

Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem is an appropriate title for this game... that's all it offers - fighting robots. To advance to a new level, your robot must defeat the other robots who stand in its way. There is some strategy involved. You can also make your own robot by copying others and modifying them. This game is based on a BBC television series. Features include a Robot Workshop and choice of challenges- trials, battlefield and grudgematch.

My 9-year-old son found this game boring. He was particularly disappointed with the minimal options in the robot-building aspect. This game requires very little critical thinking skills and isn't very difficult. Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem is for you only if you like the thought of a youngster passing time doing little more than bashing robots.
