In spite of its [[TheGrandListOfOverusedScienceFictionCliches cliche-riddled threadbare]] ExcusePlot, ''Robot'' is well-regarded for its shot variety and lively playfield design. Rolling down the Robot Bridge to raise the robot targets is viscerally satisfying, and the vibrant artwork has a distinctively European charm. The scoring can be a bit uneven, but this remains a fun and original game for players of all types.
