A year and a half ago, I would have encouraged you to play the game! It's got pretty fun gameplay, great graphics (though a good chunk of them are reused from Crash 4), a good soundtrack (which is made up of reused music from the N. Sane Trilogy, Nitro-Fueled, and Crash 4, as well as random instrumentals for victory music), and there was never a dull moment during its three seasons of new content! I still have some good memories of playing as Ripper Roo. However, ever since they stopped making new content for Rumble, I've very rarely touched it, so there isn't much incentive to join the Rumble these days.Mortamon Saturn wrote: Fri May 23, 2025 9:15 pm I have yet to actually try Team Rumble, but I've never been so uninterested about a Crash game before despite even playing Crash Bash...
"Can't be worse than Boom Bang" is a pretty low bar to be honest...Mortamon Saturn wrote: Fri May 23, 2025 9:15 pm But hey, can't be worse than Boom Bang (which I regret buying despite getting it at like 3€!), so I'll definitely get to it when it'll be extra cheap.
Judging by that description, the game sounds really fun and interesting! It's a shame that it was just a one-time thing, that formula sounds like something that could easily be expanded upon with a sequel.Mortamon Saturn wrote: Fri May 23, 2025 9:15 pm As for Metal Arms Glitch in The System, it's often described as "Halo meets Ratchet & Clank", and it's the textbook definition of an underrated gem! With extremely good game mechanics, a world of robots with some very cool lore and aesthetics (the Morbot region...), hilarious characters, a fun adventure with a great sense of progress through the many upgrades and items + secrets you can find, and creative weapons that have yet to be seen in any other game for many of them!
You could sneak on enemy robots to take control of them and use all of their unique movesets (ranging from a heavy mech with gatling guns for hands+a rocket launcher to big flying drones with laser beams... or to badass Bionicle-looking guys with a big axe!), turn them to your side with a recruit grenade... or dismember them in such detail that you could transform them into either a sentient pair of legs or into a torso stuck forever as a glorified turret/camera!
All of this in either the amazing campaign mode or in multiplayer (with optional bots for the latter)! Very fun stuff!
...And yes, I love it so much that I could talk about it all day!
Speaking of short-lived hidden gems in gaming...

I'd be more than happy to have my own little rant about the game if you'd like to hear it!
