Robo Army is a lot like Mutation Nation: great concept, solid art, brain-dead gameplay. Besides the gimmick of transforming into a vehicle briefly, its combat is simple to the point of tedium. Despite its above-average presentation and promising concept, this game is painful to slog through for all but the most casual players.
