| | |gameinfo = Prepare to bond with 75 tons of high-tensile robot. In Robot Alchemic Drive, you'll operate a remote-controlled metal titan in destructible urban environments and battle giant opponents in brutal hand-to-hand combat. You can equip your robot with weapons such as missiles, lasers, shooting fists, and boomerangs, and transform into alternate forms to defeat enemies and complete missions. Treat your robot well, and you'll be rewarded; abuse your robot, and you'll wish you hadn't.<br /> | ||
In the game the player controls a giant robot called a Meganite, humanity's last line of defense against an extraterrestrial race called the Volgara. The player is not in the cockpit of the robot; rather, he or she is on foot, carrying a remote control (the player must switch between the protagonist and the robot to play). | |||

|Comments=On real hardware the game has tons of slowdown and built in skipping but on PCSX2 with the absence of completely accurate GPU timings, the game just drops frames. This means the game requires a very strong CPU to run without speedhacks. Even with EE Cyclerate set to -2 I had sections which dropped to 60% speed. In HW mode you also need to set Blending Unit Accuracy to Ultra for completely accurate particle effect colors but this drops the framerate to single digits. There is a minor visual glitch where white lines/rectangles appear through level geometry in certain areas but the game is completely playable from beginning to end with no major issues. | |||
