"MicroBot, in concept, is one hell of a video game. The visuals are telling of what a developer can do with the schmup genre and it attempts to tell a basic story that isn’t too far-fetched. On top of that, it’s an intelligently designed game with a clever premise. But, when you boil it down to the bare necessities, MicroBot is a letdown when compared to the potential it had."
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!
Looks pretty, but two-stick shooters are getting kind of old anyway.
