A gifted young inventor, Rodney Copperbottom , moves to the big city to realize his dreams of working for his childhood hero, Bigweld. But the latter is mysteriously absent and the corporation is now run by Ratchet and his evil bots. With the help of the Rusties, a group of colourful outmodes who help him discover Ratchet's evil plot, Rodney has to defeat an army of mechanical minions to restore order to the city.
The gameplay follows closely with the movie's style, where you control Rodney and battle evil bots, upgrading his various weapons and gadgets along the way. You will also get to play as his mechanical sidekick, Wonderbot, using him to explore areas that are inaccessible to Rodney . A few levels let you drive the Transport Pod, a giant metal ball Rodney uses as a vehicle. The game takes you to locations from the movie, including Rivet Town, Robot City, Big Weld's Factory, and more.
Robots was released on the Gamecube in 2005 and offers a classic third-person, 3D platforming experience.
