Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction
« on: October 25, 2009, 10:15:25 AM »
Post anything interesting about the game here.  :-D

Btw, does anyone know where I could buy it?  I think it was only released in the UK, but I'm not sure, 'cause I live in the US.  Or is there a good torrent download somewhere?

Looks like there is a copy of it on ebay for the 1st gen xbox. It is in PAL format though & I am not sure if the original xbox is PAL + NTSC compatible.  Torrent might be your best option if you can find it.

WTF, are you kidding? I had it on PC, and up until I got RA2,
it was definitely a nice robot combat game. Who cares about
paint, as long as the gameplay is good? For that fact, as well
as the generous choice of real robots available, and the cool
arenas available, it's a good simulation of the sport, if not the best.

In closing, I find it a fun game, which I still like to play from
time to time.

I had the game and it was a good substitute before getting RA2...

AOD was a better game though, ED just moved to fast

Robots were too fast (plunder-bird, firestorm)

House robots were to fast,(Sir Killalot moved about like an F1)

Match ended the second someone was pitted, knocked out or thrown oota .... cease wasnt called or anything like AOD

Spinner Robots like Hypnodisc did virtually no damage by the time power ran out for the weapon

AOD was a much better game imo... alot more realistic too but Extreme destruction was still a good source of amusement

Yeah, heh, they really needed more suitable dialogue. Or much better implemented.

Extreme Destruction was far too cheap of a sequel in commentary. For instance, they play the "Looks like the engine's stalled, they're immobilized" line when the bot loses a single motor (and keeps going with the rest ofcourse) .. in AoD, the line is used correctly.

Ed was made when the producers care only about MONIEZ. Remember that.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Yeah..

Hmm. It's hard to choose between games sometimes. ED is cheap, production and mostly gameplay/AI-wise, AoD has crappy replicas that you can have more armor points then just by having a barebone chassis (no armor) with unpowered wheels.

Poor gameplay vs. Underpowered replicas of the bots you love (one of the reasons you'd get the game in the first place)

True, those two have quite a bit of power - but the replicas all have reliability problems, which in custom bots you'd be very unlucky to have.

I have to disagree, AoD had some powerful replicas if you used them correctly, which made it more realistic.. for example

Hypnodisc, if you start spinning and keep pushing at your opponent your going to get no where slowly, avoid your opponent and spin up for like 5 or 6 seconds then hit once before backing away and I had the AI's armour off in a few hits

I have also found with razor you can be cleaver and pluck out parts on the other robot, I defeated hypnodisc in one hit by sticking the claw right in where the battery was  ;)   

I think ED has worse replicas, Hypno Disc and Revolutionist, 2 of the most destructive bots in RW out of the ones included in the game and could do nothing to other robots

for the replicas I feel that some of them are really powerful like wheely big cheese for example.

If he's used on the boat arena it's just too easy to win with him because he throws them straight off the edge.

For the underpowered hypno disc and revolutionist I have to agree with you.  I wanted to see what razer vs hypnodisc would be like. when hypno disc was computer and I was razer hypno got thrashed and when razer was comp and I was hypno,hypno was still get thrashed.

I know that hypno would cause some damage in real life against razer but in the game he does nothing.
