  • Between the chunky, colourful aesthetics and madcap mechanics, Arms is Nintendo through-and-through. The motion controls aren't perfect, but add enough fun to be worth the loss in precision, and the simple mechanics hide a surprising amount of tactical de...

  • Easy to grasp, contains masses of subtlety and strategy, channels the original Wii despite possessing great e-sports credentials
  • No conventional single-player game
  • Despite its surface simplicity, Arms has every chance of becoming a popular e-sport. Like Overwatch, it gains depth and subtlety from the clever design of its characters and their arms, and two-player bouts are mesmerising to watch.But it's also the sort...

  • Surprising depth, nuance and strategy, Motion controls are a lot of fun, Good variety of modes keeps things interesting, Tons of unlockable Arms will keep completionists busy
  • Controls aren't precise enough for fast fights, AI takes advantage of control scheme issues, No remappable buttons
  • No. Not unless you are just looking for a Nintendo Switch game to casually play with friends at home. Even then, Arms is no Super Smash Bros. This will not become your next fighting game obsession...

  • Far deeper combat than expected, hundreds of customisation options, numerous game modes
  • Forwards and backwards movement irritates, VBall mode disappoints

  • Abstract:  Nintendo has been knocking it out of the park with its recent first party releases, enjoying sensational critical acclaim for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Can ARMS continue the flurry of fortune for a solid three-hit KO...

  Published: 2017-05-29, Author: Rishi , review by: gadgets.ndtv.com

  • Abstract:  It was no surprise that the Nintendo Switch got first-party titles from popular franchises such as Mario and Zelda, but few would have predicted Arms, a new fighting game revealed at the Switch launch. Arms pits fighters with extendable arms (hence the...

  • Lo bueno, Accesible pero profundo, Personajes carismáticos, Batallas en línea dinámicas
  • La curva de aprendizaje es dolorosa
  • La mejora de diseño, así como la compatibilidad con video 4K, hacen de Xbox One S la consola de actual generación con las mejores prestaciones de la actualidad...

  • Lors de sa première présentation, ARMS avait de quoi laisser plus d'un joueur circonspect. Pourtant, il suffit de quelques minutes de jeu pour apprécier son gameplay accessible, et profiter d'un jeu très dynamique et qui plus est très fun à plusieurs. S...

  • Le contrôle avec les Joy-Cons, Une mécanique simple, Parties en ligne délirantes
  • Peu de personnages, Pas de mode histoire
  • Si vous jouer avec des manettes traditionnelles, vous verrez qu'Arms est très fun, mais vous passerez rapidement à autre chose, même si vous pouvez l'emporter partout avec vous grâce à l'ingénieux système de la Switch. Avec une paire de Joy-Cons, c'est un...
