Gamespot: Robocalypse Review

Robocalypse is a welcome entry on the short list of DS real-time strategy games, balancing a mix of classic real-time strategy gameplay and cartoon-style graphics and humor, as well as incorporating an intuitive control system. The game opens with a mishap at the Thermidoom Factory, maker of military robots and toasters. Somehow, a group of these robots goes rogue and, led by the evil Demolisher, swears to annihilate the human race. The factory's nerdy scientist and buxom PR director quickly create a robotic army of their own and furnish them with the minds of a few World War II veterans who just happened to be taking a free tour of the facility at the time. The story that unfolds, penned by the talent behind SpongeBob SquarePants, only gets goofier and more absurdly humorous from there.

The Good:
* Humorous story and characters
* Tight controls and great use of the touch screen
* Varied and memorable unit types.

The Bad:
* Clumsy and frustrating AI
* Limited multiplayer match types.
