Reviewer: nicholaswilde@yahoo.com from Somewhere on the Moon
I think...
This book is great for fans, especially if you find Robot
Wars Extreme the better of the robot wars TV series. Giving
a guide to the robots and rules, this gives some very interesting
facts. and if you like to 'design' robots or enjoy creating
them on the game (such as that for playstation 2, one of the
best games for a while) then this is very inspiring for ideas.
Top marks and a must for fans...
