Metal Arms - Glitch in the System (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Metal Arms - Glitch in the System still worth playing in 2026?
A third person shooter from Swingin' Ape, Metal Arms - Glitch in the System follows a small amnesiac robot caught in a conflict between machines, through a snappy action adventure blending firefights, inventive weapons and offbeat humour in an entirely robotic world. The snappiness of the combat, the inventiveness of the arsenal and the omnipresent humour appeal to fans of uninhibited action shooting. The dated production and a certain difficulty bound the ambition. For a fan of action shooting or someone curious about a humorous robotic world, the title keeps a preserved snappiness and charm, in a dated edition.
