Arms is fun. Good graphics, good motion controls, tight gameplay. Lots of fun for local multiplay with friends.
However...
- Online 1v1v1 mode is aweful. It always comes down to two players ganging up on the third.
- Traditional controls are nerfed and cannot be remapped just so the motion controls have a chance.
- Level 7 CPU cheats to make the game harder. It's still winnable but not without tons of rage towards all the cheap moves you'll be putting up with.

A fun twist to the fighting genre

Definitely an interesting twist to the fighting game genre. It forces you to get out of your seat and swing your arms for a crazy boxing/brawl-like experience. Of course the game allows for traditional button controls, but it's a lot more fun and interactive using the motion controls. I had my doubts when this game was announced but after playing the test punch, I was hooked. Great game!

Very different and fun game, takes time to get used to controls but after definitely is a blast to play. Wish there was more story driven content but otherwise a fun game for all ages.

This is NOT just Wii Boxing with a new coat of paint! You arent going to win many matches if you just throw super fast punches. Its more like a fighting game. You need to know when to block and dodge and then throw a punch. Ive only played with motion controls so far and they work great. Graphics look colorful and bright on tv and the Switch screen. Online is fun. Will need new characters and modes in the future to keep up interest I believe.

This is a SUPER fun party game and probably online also....but with just my girlfriend and I we ran out of stuff to do in about two hours and haven't played it since. We will keep it and when people DO come over throw it in, but no single player or anything. No new costumes just arms to unlock and the arms are just the same arms from the OTHER characters so you've already seen them they can just be used for each character. anywho. It's dope.

My son loves this game! We originally bought something else, but on a trip to the store you had this game going and he was fascinated with it.

Nintendo has a way of putting their magic on new ideas. ARMS has that Nintendo magic. It's a great new way to approach the 3D fighting world. As someone who dislikes motion controls I found myself only playing with the joycons off the switch. Controls are smooth and responsive. If you need something new after beating Zelda give ARMS a chance. I did and I'm glad I did.

Arms on the Nintendo Switch is a great game for all ages. You will be drawn in by it's colorful characters and non-stop boxing-like action. Constantly refining your skills while attempting to anticipate your opponents moves is a must. And always keep moving. Fun for all ages, continuous hours of fun, and countless arms to unlock and add to your arsenal.

This was a really fun game to play for a short period of time. The game got repetitive though. Motion controls work fine, but I preferred to play with Pro controller.

This game is incredibly fun and inventive. The concept of having extendable arms is a great premise to make Arms feel new and different. The motion controls are very responsive and easy to understand. My personal preference is using the pro controller to play this game but I do see the motion controls as a viable option for competitive play.

Rock, paper, scissors! That’s what this game feels like. Very simple fighting mechanics, but difficult to master. Anyone can pick up and play
