RoboRage

Synopsis
RoboRage is a first person Sci-fi Fighting game for the Playstation 3 (it might be available for X Box 360 after i get access to a controller to work out the controls). It is set in the future, where telerobotics has become the norm and robots are being used for the more dangerous jobs that humans can't do. This includes fighting. Robots equipped with AI are customized for fights. The RoboRage Tournament is an underground fighting league where, despite being outlawed, thousands build and watch fighting robots. You are a little league Manager, who is given a basic robot and builds up from there, moving through the the Tournament, facing crooks, training, earning money to buy and repair parts and eventually earning the title of Mecha Mangler.

Gameplay
RoboRage is played in the first person perspective. You get an HUD, showing your health and your enemy's health. When your enemy's health reaches 0, you go into a quicktime event. If successful, you perform a death move and kill your opponent. If you fail, your opponent regains 10Hp. The same applies to the player. When your health reaches 0, you enter a quicktime event. If successful, you regain 10Hp. If you fail, you die. When you die, the screen fills with static as your robot shuts down. You get an option screen asking if you want to continue (you have to pay with victory money to fight again) or quit. The game will go back to the main menu, and you will restart from the last point you saved at.

The robot is controlled using each side of the controller to allow for full use of the body. triggers on the back of the controller punch. L/R 1 punch to the head, while L/R 2 punch to the body (the L triggers controls the left hand and the R triggers control the right hands). Pushing L/R 2 together makes you kick. This allows you to attack opponents who are ducking. The analogue sticks allow you to perform combos and special moves. For example, pushing the left analogue stick to the left and pressing L1 will perform a left hook (and the other way round will perform a right hook). Pushing the analogue sticks forwards raises your guard. This allows you to guard wih one hand and attack with the other. Pulling both analogue sticks back at the same time makes you duck (while ducking you can attack the legs, put can't guard. This leaves you open to being kicked). Pushing both analogue sticks in the same direction makes you dodge that way.

Customization is a large part of the game as after defeating an opponent, as well as recieving money, you get to take one of their parts. Parts come in different classes: Heads, Engines, Weapons, Legs and Armour. Each one will increase or decrease stats. Heads increase Style (brings on more followers and sponsors. This will be explained in due course), Engines increase Health, Weapons increase attack, Armour increases defence and legs increase Agility. However, they can have draw backs (armour can lower agility, weapons can lower health, etc). As well as this, you can buy parts from the shop. Their damage efficiency increases as you progress through the game, with the weaker parts at the start and the stronger parts at the finish.You can colour the parts based on pre picked Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colours. Also, you can design an Emblem which is place on either your forhead, your chest or your shoulders. Your Robot's name can be changed at any point.

By getting in 10 hits without recieving one you can use a Rage Hit, which deals massive damage. Rage hits are used by pressing the X buttong and selecting a target area with the right analogue stick. Once highlighed, press the Square button to throw the Rage Hit (Rage hits will break through guards, but will lose some power in doing so).
