The first few videos I seen of this game looked uninspired and pretty boring. It's polished up pretty nicely and I like the humor. I might give this one a try now. That tutorial looks fun.

I'm skipping the demos for now, but I'm pretty excited to see how the final game turns out. I've had my eye on this one since it was announced. I hope it turns out as well as I think it will.

I actually enjoyed the demo. Very cool gameplay and a lot of variety. The 70's groovy theme is cool too. I'm thinking the Wii controls will make it even more intuitive.

Nice to see something from Wii Play being expanded on. Nintendo comes up with all these ideas for how the Wiimote could be used, but then hardly any developers take those ideas and run with them. I'll try out the PC demo. Looks interesting.

"Imagine if Wii Tanks and the Legend of Zelda had a baby."
No, thanks.
I'll download the demo and see what I think of it. I DO love Wii Tanks (not to mention the LoZ! :D).

Downloading demo now hope my crusty old PC will run it... otherwise it'll be a wait and see...

As I thought the demo is confirmation that my PC sucks and I'll be getting it when it comes out on Wii.

I played the first level of the demo and it's pretty good. The music is awesome. :P

What are the system requirements for the PC demo? Is a Notebook with Windows XP SP3, Pentium IV 2,66GHz, 512MB and integrated ATI Radeon IGP 345M enough?

Edit: Apparently not. The program doesn't seem to like the graphics card. I have graphic glitches in the third room. Too bad. At least the uninstaller works perfectly fine. Phew!

This is a different Frobot to the one I'd heard of and played, which was Kyle Gray's Experimental Gameplay shooter.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the positive feedback! Omega, can you send your dxdiag.txt info to us? Your computer should be able to run Frobot, we're still early in our PC compatibility testing so I hope we can get it running on your computer. Our email address is listed on our website http://www.frobot-game.com
