Editorial Review: BioMotor Unitron is marketed as a fantasy role-playing game, but the real fun is in modifying this game's Unitron, a fighting robot that can be customized in nearly every way.
The adventure begins as you prepare your Unitron for battle in a centralized city. You'll meet several local characters that can help you in your quest, which will take you to four randomly created dungeons that lie on the outskirts of town. Each dungeon has an elemental theme that must be taken into consideration before wandering in. As you fight your way through the dungeons using turn-based combat, you'll discover new items and equipment that can be used to upgrade your Unitron when you return to the city.
We had a lot of fun equipping our Unitron with our discoveries. The game lets you fuse various uncovered materials together, but the quality of the results depends on what you use and how you put it together. Other options such as new legs, power packs, and body types mean that there's always something to tweak as you progress toward your ultimate goal of becoming an arena champion and defeating a seemingly all-powerful beast that lurks beneath the city. --T.

Pros:
Fun combat sequences
Nice graphics, especially in the city
Near-limitless customization of Unitrons
Cons:
A tad too easy for the expert player

It was delightfully fun. I played for hours on end. I recommend it to anyone. Definetly for the serious gamers. This game is one of the best i've played. If you had a choice of any one game for Neo Geo I would, beyond a doubt, pick this one.
Rating: - LET'S ROCK THIS JOINT!
This game is a must for RPG and Mecha fans alike. The story line is great and the game play rocks. Besides being able to select multiple charactor types, either male or female, you can customize their armor how you want it. The only problem is that you can't link battle. I give this game five stars none the less.

Okay, I admit I'm addicted to RPG. So, when I decided to get the neogeo pocket I was skeptical because there are not many of this genre for this system. Well, I am pleasantly surprised with the way you can make different arms from materials you find and equip your unitron the way you want. I can't wait for unitronII.
Rating: - Leaves you wanting more......
I was hooked with this game, played it constantly in my spare time until I thought I got as far as was possible. It was great fun but I have to admit it didn't properly end which left me a bit unsatisfied. I have also got to admit I haven't picked the game up again after completing it several months ago. Nevertheless it was great fun while it lasted, more of a quick fix than an RPG but a bit more deep than a action game like Diablo.
