Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is pretty cool and fun. My kids really enjoy playing it. I haven't played it with them, but I have watched them play. They laugh a lot! The arms the characters have are on long springs and reach a long way. All the way to the other person's character. There are a variety of different arms to choose from. This is a 4 player game, and it's like a boxing game. My kids are teenagers and they love playing it!

Easy to learn challenging to master. It ample opportunities to hone you skills alone, party mode or online. Great Nintendo fighting game; ideal switch title

Great game! Very responsive motion control, relatively intuitive and easy to learn controls, great for parties and groups.

It kind of gets old after awhile but I haven't had the chance to play the single player. The multiplayer is fun but the motion controls are the best part!

Yes, you can just mash buttons in a wild, random fashion and even win a few matches. Once you get past that, there is a surprising depth and balance to the combat system. It gets quite challenging and fun.

Great for playing with friends. It would be nice to have more modes available or more single player options.

Addictive and unique fighting formula. A blast to play local multiplayer or online and easy to play but tough to master.

Seems too simple to me to be very fun, but my 7 year old can't get enough of it. Also, probably the best deal I have seen on a new copy of the game - I used my Pro Card and got 20% off the retail price.

The game is fun and will give you work out. It is easy to learn and start playing immediately.

At first, I thought this game would never catch on but after watching some gameplay and finally getting a chance to play it, it turned to be very enjoyable. It's like Wii Sports Boxing and Punch-Out! but more quirky and fun for a new generation! The amount of content and customization is quite decent and the multiplayer modes are addictive, especially Ranked Mode, which I find to be more exciting than the standard multiplayer modes. Definitely recommend it for both fighting game fans and those looking for a good competitive game to have some good laughs over.

This is a great Nintendo-izing of the fighting game genera. It controls well, is fun to play, and is good for all ages.

I am a huge gamer and love Nintendo games. This is a good solid I.P.. But it is not currently worth the robust price of $60. I have a GCU membership and had a $10 reward certificate so after discount and taxes this game cost me $40. At $40 or less the game is worth it. Its like Street Fighter and they will add free add-ons and content without paying for DLC. So, in 6 months this may be worth more then $40. But right now I give it a 4/5 and definitely a buy for fans of fighting games or Nintendo enthusiasts. For casual fans, you could skip it without missing much.

ARMS is one of the few games that you can get for switch right now that is not a port of a Wii U game or a PC Indie game. If you look back on the days of playing Wii boxing with your friends fondly, then you will most likely enjoy this game. Even if you don't, this game is still fleshed out enough that it might be worth a shot for you anyway. Pros- +Diverse cast of fighters with unique systems +Solid online play +Can choose between motion controls and controller Cons- -Not a ton of replay value in the campaign -Some of the modes feel like padding content

It’s difficult to describe just how good ARMS is. The best analogy I can come up with is that it is to fighting games what Splatoon is to third-person shooters. ARMS is a bright, colorful, and welcoming game. Newcomers can easily hop in and enjoy most of the matches and modes available. Meanwhile, the more dedicated will find themselves developing complex strategies based on characters and ARMS loadouts and captivated by the opportunities to challenge others online.

Arms is an essential game to own for those with a Nintendo Switch. Nintendo continues to showcase the company's talent through the release of new games with this latest release. Like Splatoon, this game has a certain quality in its aesthetic that makes it iridescent. The controls are intuitive for individuals of all ages while providing enough room for complexity given the right input. The character design is unique and vibrant. Furthermore, the motion controls work perfectly.

This is a pretty fun fighting game that uses motion controls. Good to play multiplayer

It's s great game with lots of style. The controls take some time to learn, but once you get into it. Online is very fun. The game also just got an update that includes achievements in the form of badges. Really fun fighter, would recommend.

I wasn't sure how much I'd like this game, but wanted to give it a try. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! The graphics are very nice, and the gameplay is addictive. It' puts a "twist" on regular fighting games, but if you enjoy fighting games in general, then you will probably enjoy this as well. Nothing like punching your opponent from clear across the ring, and it works great with the Pro controller! I was concerned that you had to play it with the Joycons, but this is not the case. The Nintendo Pro Controller is my preferred way to play. Lots of fun!!

This game is alot of fun, it's a different kind of boxing game and it really does keep your intrest.

Arms is a fighting game that is suitable for a younger audience, but it is still challenging for older, and more experienced, gamers. You can set the difficulty from 1 to 7 for the story mode, although that mode does not have much of a story. Regardless, my children, ranging from age 3 to 10, have a suitable challenge. The local multiplayer versus mode is our favorite. The whole family lines up to play the winner. Oddly enough, the youngest player is the hardest to beat. The versus mode alone is a good reason to get this game for the family.
