S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International

"At Konami's press event in San Francisco, we had the opportunity to get hands-on with SLAI: Phantom Crash for the PlayStation 2. The game is set in the year 2071, when, as the result of some apocalypse or other, the earth's cities have all become uninhabitable, and robot fighting, which takes place in those cities, has established itself as the planet's most popular sport. "

"But even with these faults, S.L.A.I. is so big, fans of arena-based shooters would be wrong to pass it up. It's a huge game with a good deal of replay value and a very cool online mode (assuming it ever gets used). Coming to terms with the graphical and gameplay limitations means being able to enjoy a well presented, fresh experience, so at least give this one a try."
