The fact that Electronic Arts chose to design a twin stick shooter that takes place within the human body doesn’t surprise us. Instead, we’re left wondering what took so long. MicroBot sends you on a promising journey through an unnamed person’s insides, on a mission to zap viruses, bacteria and enemy robots. It has lots of blood, features a wide assortment of weapons and plenty of things to destroy, making it one of 2011’s more interesting Xbox Live and PlayStation Network games.

PlayDevil has posted a review of EA's human body action game "Microbot".
Here's more:
"MicroBot follows a nano-machine tasked with going into a body and destroying an infection of other rouge nanites that have joined forces with an invading virus to play havoc with the unfortunate host.
With the ability to upgrade and adapt to infections and obstacles it comes across as it moves through the body the small MicroBot is designed for just such internal tomfoolery."
CSM - The first thing you'll notice about Microbot is just how gorgeous the visuals are. Then you'll quickly realize how unique and interesting the movement in the game is -- steering through fluids of various densities feels totally different from steering, say, a spaceship in a standard sci-fi shooter.

The game style MicroBot presents to me is what I would usually consider pretty boring — that is using one thumbstick to shoot continuously in a specific direction. Considering I am a big FPS and racing game fan, this is entirely not my gig. But after downloading the demo for what looked like some great graphics and cheap laughs, I was shocked.
This game is fun!
