Product Overview:
BattleBots is based on the popular, adrenaline-pumping TV show of the
same name pitting contestant-designed, radio-controlled robots against
each other inside a high-tech arena equipped with hazardous obstacles
such as kill saws and giant sledgehammers. The BattleBots show is currently
in its fourth season and averages more than 3.5 million viewers per
week.
Players start the game with a small amount of money to build their
own BattleBot in Simulation Mode, or in Arcade Mode, they can choose
from original or existing BattleBots seen on the show. As the players
progress through tournaments, more money is earned to collect additional
BattleBot components for upgrades. Players can also test their mettle
and play against up to four friends in an all-out multi-player brawl.
