Virtual On is a game in which two robots trying to kill each other. Controls are fairly simple and the enemies aren't that difficult, but against human opponents it can be quite tough. The game comes with a standard arcade mode in which you go through a list of robots to beat, then there's multiplayer and that's about it. Having said that, Virtual On is more than worth its price tag because it's fun to play. It does have a few teething problems over manoeuvring the camera with the right analog stick, but other than that the controls are responsive and easy to learn.
D+PAD Writes:
For a student constantly on the lookout for cheap games to play and not really wanting to buy full-priced new releases, second-hand shops and Xbox Live Arcade seemed the perfect solution. Some purchases were really not worth playing, but there were some real gems that turned up from time to time – some of which were clearly at their best when played multiplayer, but had nobody online because perhaps they had not been critical successes, or had been out so long everyone had lost interest. So it’s time to fight the fight for these obscure games – and if people can get them and play them, it can only be a good thing!
