    One of the COOLEST moments of my life: A rich friend of my family got us backstage passes to a Robot Wars House Show and I got to drive Sir Killalot briefly! None of my friends at school believed me but it was awesome!

      Yeah it’s pretty cool you can make your own robot from scratch they could have just made you use the famous bots from the show but this makes it more personalised , I remember that the weapons were really easy to break but I may give this game another go though and maybe put a flipper on my bot

    Back in 2004 there were not many games in the robot combat genre, which explains the high user review scores. The only options at this time was this, Robot Arena (PC), Robot Arena 2 (PC), and the BattleBots games for GBA. Robot Arena 2 remains the gold standard game to this day, 18 years after its release, and Arenas of Destruction was a de facto second place because the other games legitimately terrible.

    The son of the man who created hypnodisc went to my primary school and at a Christmas fair thing my family won a chance to take it for a test drive. My dad and I ended up crashing it on two different occasions and after that, hypnodisc had to take a break from the show for a few years

    • @deltahalo241
      @deltahalo241 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It likely wasn't because you crashed it, if that's what you're wondering. These robots are tough after all. But towards the end of the series, Hypnodisc was becoming increasingly obsolete. I believe they initially withdrew in order to make a new Hypnodisc that could take on the new competitors, but the show got cancelled before they could start work on it.

    Interestingly, the idea of "repairing things doesn't cost money, it costs time" is something from the Colin Mcrae games, where it's a handy system if you're a safe-but-slow driver, but absolute death if you're a driver who will happily torpedo into a wall if it means you can get round a single corner a bit faster.

One of those examples where it's definitely got quite a few negatives, but it's still a very fun game and the flaws overall make it pretty endearing in a So Bad It's Good sense; and even today, I still play it back on the old PS2 from time to time!

    Sure this game hasn’t aged well but easily those experts was talking out their exhaust
    At the time for the company that made it did a good job
    There are a quite a lot of variations you could make also trying to keep the robot in the right balance of weight as well for certain competitions
    Sometimes the weapons feel flimsy but that’s where the secondary one came into it or static ones like spikes come into play
    All in all 8/10 the controls felt like you was actually controlling the robot with the remote control
    It felt authentic with Jonathan Pearce doing commentary also if you call yourself jpearce that was a cheat/easter egg for max money as well

    22:27 If you picked a better motor for your bot with your budget (or got one from the scrapyard if available?), you would have been able to turn a LOT faster if my memory serves me well… You’re meant to upgrade things piece by piece after each win, instead of just allowing you to create the best bot possible, it makes you actually work for it unlike most games… And you need to do well (aka by winning battles) to be able to upgrade your Bot one piece at a time… And by the end of it you can have a VERY good bot by the end of it! I spent countless hours playing this game as a kid with all the different game modes and arenas and what not, I had a blast playing it (on the PS2) if I’m honest!
    Obviously the graphics are terrible, but it was made 20+ years ago probably… So every game back then had terrible graphics😅🤷🏻‍♂️ But building your own Bot was so so so fun once you’d slowly upgraded it piece by piece, especially when you added flame throwers and things like that to your bot too😂 That was always so so so fun

The former two are fun to mess around with occasionally, but I mostly use the third!

    I absolutely love this game and bought a ps2 not long ago, purely to play this game, just like I used to play it non stop years ago too. It's really not a bad game, just rough around the edges.

    This game has its issues but it was actually pretty decent. Doesn't help that Ben didn't know he could put more than 2 wheels on the robot so it wouldn't handle like trash.
    The two big downsides are just that there are some trash weapons which aren't worth using and that the game starts out slow. Once the player get's through a few fights and starts earning some money they can make better robots and fight other good robots. Not to mention they then unlock new arenas which can be pretty cool.

    Funny coincidence on this game being in this WGE. Cause there is a *NEW* show of this same concept that just released.
    Also, was that a cameo of *SCOUT* ? :D

    I didn't realize that BattleBots-like shows existed outside of the US, it seemed like a concept so ridiculous and over-the-top that it could only come from us. I thought it was the coolest show ever as a kid, even had the BattleBots game for GBA. It was extremely similar to this and was equally as frustrating to play.

    • @mr8I7

      Robot combat originally came from the US but Robot Wars in the UK was the first to make it into a big TV show. Battlebots shortly followed and thankfully continues to this day 👍
