Each kind of Robotron has a different way of attacking you and also different point values. Points are also scored by destroying the missiles that they fire at you, by destroying other enemies that appear during each wave and by saving humans.
During each wave, you must destroy all the Robotrons with the exception of the indestructible Hulks and rescue as many human family members as possible in order to proceed to the next wave.
When you complete wave it will appear as if you just started the game - wave 1 will start all over. But never mind the lack of elaborate ending - you don't play pure action games for plot, and Robotron is the best of breed. Each wave poses a new challenge and gets faster, harder and more crowded.
After about ten levels, things are real hairy and you survive on a combination of skill, luck and pure instinct. After the first few dozen waves, you will be so perfectly addicted and absorbed in the game that you won't even think any longer: just react to anything that moves. Every 5 waves, the player encounters a screen filled with a greatly increased number of humans to save. It is in these waves that the greatest number of points can be acquired.
The human civiilans are hunted down in the game by the 'hulk' enemy. However, a glitch in the original programming means that these 'hulks' will all gravitate toward a single civilian, largely ignoring all the others.
If this single human can be kept alive, then it is possilbe to collect a much greater number of the others, and achieve a dramatically increased score in the process. Williams promises levels and 26 enemies, which will be basically true to the original.
For example, the Brainbots appear on Level 5 and the Tanks appear on Level 7, as in the arcade game. Gamers will also find 7 bonus rounds, 4 giganto bosses, and 14 techno-funk music tracks. Williams seems to be in full retro-mode with Arcade's Classics and now this remake, but Robotron certainly looks X-citing. The preliminary PlayStation version's controls were crisp, though arcade vets will miss the dual joysticks. Diagonal shots with four-button PlayStation directionals just don't feel the same.
Also, the autocam zoomed in and out of the action, which proved positively lethal as robots snuck up behind you during close-ups. Fortunately, Williams has plenty of time to tune things up. X gets a 3D polygon facelift, but the scenario's classic Robotron. Robot masters desire to exterminate all humans. Robotron X is pure thumb-mashing fun. X is the bit remake of the degree, robot-razing classic arcade shooter.
If you have the thumbs for it, this disc has plus levels. Robotron fans will find familiar foes like the Brains, along with new challengers, as they save the humans. The graphics have been overhauled thanks to polygon rendering and auto-close-up camera views. The revamped visuals are nice, but the close-ups reduce your field of fire. Robotron purists can find the original in Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits , but for Robotron hunters seeking something X-tra, X marks the spot.
