Synopsis

MicroBot is a twin-stick shooter video game developed by Naked Sky Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade on December 29, 2010, and for the PlayStation 3 through the PlayStation Network on January 4, 2011. In the game, the player controls a MicroBot, a microscopic robot designed to fight infections in the human body. The robot is tasked with destroying the previous generation MicroBots that became corrupted while fighting diseases in the body.

Opinions on the game are mixed, but reviews are generally moderate. On the GameRankings and Metacritic sites, overall scores average around 60% for both platforms. Most reviewers praised the game's visual and audio presentation. They felt that the environments were convincing as body areas and that the soundtrack was strong. Critics' opinions differ when it comes to gameplay; many praised the addition of local cooperative play and the ability to upgrade the MicroBot with new weapons and features, but many felt that the game did not add enough new gameplay elements to the genre to maintain player interest over the long term.
