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.
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."

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!
Microbot’s interesting premise, setting, and mechanics are undermined by several issues that cause the game to be more of a tedious chore than an enjoyable experience. The only way that MicroBot is really recommendable is to pairs of friends that are looking for a local or online co-op shooter on XBLA or PSN to play together, though you might as well wait for a sale since you’re only getting it for half of the game for $10 at that point. Anybody else should have plenty of other quality single-player shooter options on their respective download services to make this an easy skip.
