Customers praise ARMS' surprisingly deep and fun gameplay, phenomenal motion controls, and ease of use. Many also appreciate the game's quirky characters, though some wish for more content and single-player options. A few customers felt the price point was a bit high. The lack of excessive violence was also a positive point for some players.

Arms is fun and wacky and way deeper as a fighting game than any surface similarities it may share to wii boxing. The motion controls are very accurate so you quickly learn that this game is not about flailing your 'arms' wildly. The characters and arms themselves are quite varied, with a nice selection of options to outfit your arms with. Even though I recommend playing with motion controls you can change your controller scheme to single joy-con or pro controller if it suits you better (but I feel it would detract from the experience).Overall I think this game is worth it if you want to play something a bit different on your Switch and don't mind motion controls.

The gameplay itself is okay fun but the singleplayer portion leaves a lot to be desired. I enjoy games that are more story-oriented and this only has a minor Grand Prix. I feel that Nintendo is focusing more on multiplayer games and wishes to capitalize on this by forcing players to spend money to play online ($20/year). I don't approve of this direction, and will only support more story-focuses games. Buy it if you plan to play online a lot; I cannot recommend otherwise until there is a significant price drop (down to $30).

ARMS is Nintendo's newest IP of fighters with extendable arms. Play it with motion controls using the Joy-Con or sitting on the couch with the Joy-Con Grip or the Pro Controller (or single Joy-Con), ARMS gives you freedom to control the characters as they fight in very unique and interactive arenas.
Even if you are a veteran of the fighting genre or new to it, there is a lot to like about ARMS. Nintendo also promises to regularly update the game with new characters and arenas throughout its first year, and the first character update has already been release.

Arms takes the competitive excitement of Boxing and mixes it with some unique motion control that only Nintendo could pull off. Character design and game play is the highlight of this game. Online matches for Arms run very smooth and is handled flawlessly by the unique match making lobby. The game is fun for all ages.

This is the kind of game that is a mix of miner 2040 miner and whisper destruction. Amazing concept!
A:Yes, this game is online. They have finished making new online events, but you can still play against other people and it is not hard to find people playing online.
