ARMS
SCORE: 68
I am torn concerning ARMS on the Nintendo
Switch. There are things I like about this game, and there are things I
absolutely despise. I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased
this fighting game after the failures of the PR and Marketing firm
working for Nintendo. ARMS is not worth sixty dollars. It is worth
twenty to twenty-five dollars at most. Even than that might be a bit
high. We paid twice that much so we feel like a lot of money was wasted
on ARMS.
The issues families will have with ARMS is violence, increased
aggression, poor online match making and more. The shtick in ARMS is
these characters have spring based arms that can go a long ways away
from them. Families can even move their arms around while in flight.
There are slight curves that can be done. Not as impressive as you might
think. The next little nuance in ARMS is the hands. There are different
hands with different skills in ARMS.
Families can go through the ten fights of Grand Prix to earn
twenty-seven coins. Once you have thirty coins you can play a mini game
where you might get a new hand. It takes time to adapt to the controls
in ARMS In fact it never felt natural holding the Joycons in that
fashion. Grabs are very overpowered in ARMS. Players that time them
correctly can combo juggle their opponent from start to death without
taking a hit.
The modes in ARMS are Grand Prix, Versus, Party Match (online), Ranked
Match (online), Friends (online), Local (nearby Players), Training,
Help, Stats, Set Arms, and Get Arms. I am shocked at how light the
content is in ARMS. There are eleven fighters in ARMS. The game play
mechanic in ARMS is very interesting. It does not always work properly
in terms of targeting though.
I like a few of the different levels in ARMS. Basketball, volleyball,
and target hitting are some of the more interesting ones. The stages in
ARMS are different. If you lose an online match in ARMS you get one
coin. I have no idea what you get for winning. Nintendo is known for
making micro games, and ARMS fits right into that category quite nicely
if you know what I mean.
