Robots at BattleBots tournaments were initially separated into four weight classes ('divisions'), each with their own dedicated championships which were partially aired during the Comedy Central run. Not only are the robots at the mercy of their opponents' weaponry, but also required to avoid several hazards within the arena (the BattleBox) which can damage or hinder their movements. The purpose of the fight is for one robot, or "bot", to damage, dominate and/or incapacitate its opponent within the given time limit through any means necessary.

But plenty of TV shows seem like they were made to be turned into games-and when those end up being a disappointment, it has the potential to let down millions upon millions of people. Some never had a chance-whomever thought that a game based on Home Improvement could be anything but as painful as being hit in the head with a toolbox was kidding themselves. To be sure, there are a lot of really bad video games based on even the best TV shows.

In a lot of ways, TV shows are a better fit for the video game treatment, as they tell stories that are stretched out over longer periods and can be more easily adapted into a game, rather than trying to take a two-hour movie and stretching it to its breaking point for a 20+ hour game.īut where there are video game adaptations, there are often bad video games.
