Strategy Informer: "The whole reason it generally takes me longer to get through games than other people I know is that I love to explore. Even when playing games that don't really cater to that kind of attitude, I will dive into nooks and crannies just to see if anything is there. Eventually, I get the hint that this game just doesn't factor in my need to wonder, and so I'm unlikely to find anything. Sometimes however, my curiosity is paid off, and this was the case at this year's EA Winter Showcase. Tucked away in a dark corner on the top floor was a single testing booth for XBLA arcade game Microbot, and being the adventuring individual that I am, I went and explored."
PlayDevil has posted a review of EA's human body action game "Microbot".
Here's more:
"MicroBot follows a nano-machine tasked with going into a body and destroying an infection of other rouge nanites that have joined forces with an invading virus to play havoc with the unfortunate host.
With the ability to upgrade and adapt to infections and obstacles it comes across as it moves through the body the small MicroBot is designed for just such internal tomfoolery."
CSM - The first thing you'll notice about Microbot is just how gorgeous the visuals are. Then you'll quickly realize how unique and interesting the movement in the game is -- steering through fluids of various densities feels totally different from steering, say, a spaceship in a standard sci-fi shooter.

The game style MicroBot presents to me is what I would usually consider pretty boring — that is using one thumbstick to shoot continuously in a specific direction. Considering I am a big FPS and racing game fan, this is entirely not my gig. But after downloading the demo for what looked like some great graphics and cheap laughs, I was shocked.
This game is fun!
