Lunatic Jedi Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I just saw a preview for Robot Alchemic Drive (R.A.D) for Xbox on the show Extended Play, and I almost shat myself. The graphics are jaw dropping, the gameplay looks incredible, and the voice acting is hilariously bad. The deal is you head an underground global defense organization that uses giant remote-controlled robots to defend the Earth from an attacking alien race (which, by a lucky coincidence, also uses robots). The gameplay takes on two forms: 1. Controlling your little person around the city, positioning him or her so that they can see the robot and control it effectively and 2. Controlling the robot. The fighting is truly spectacular. You can attack from long range with missles or lasers, or run headlong into the fray to start busting some metal heads hand-to-hand style. Some of the action sequences I saw on the show were astounding: A robot getting tossed through the air and backflipping into a skyscraper, courtesy of a nasty uppercut from the other robot; a robot collapsing to the ground, consumed by flames after a missle strike from the opposing bot, or a robot cutting its enemy to pieces by twirling its torso. The only problem I saw was some nasty slowdown, but since the game isn't due for a little while, they should have that problem hammered out by the final release. Any questions?
