Most reviews start out with a synopsis of the game's plot. But honestly, RoboBlitz doesn't need that. Your job, as robot technician Blitz, is to run through 19 levels of shooting and puzzle action in order to load and fire a giant space cannon. The real motivation to keep playing lies more in earning each new weapon or toy and seeing what kind of wacky things you can do with them.

RoboBlitz looks like a third-person shooter at first - it's even running on the Unreal Engine 3, so it looks gorgeous - but shooting is actually a very small part of the whole experience. Rather, you'll be guiding Blitz through each new area by figuring out one physics-based puzzle after another.
