Nerd³ Plays... Metal Arms: Glitch in the System 

There was a lot of detail and destructible shit in this game. And like enemies with kinda dynamic bodies you could destroy or damage certain parts of. It was way better than it appears on the surface.

Ah man, he skipped the line where the Colonel says "we just got a flat line signal from Hosed and Screwed, no time for tears..." The tutorial bots were named hosed and screwed to insinuate they were going to die.

Me: 'Well, this looks adorable.' Game: 'Of course I FUCKING can't!' Can a game be adorable if it has copious swearing?

Underrated game. I wish they made a sequel ;-;

"That's what people thought drones would look like in 2003" wow... 2003 is such a long time ago

Classic intro... classic NerdCubed? Feckin‘ good time to be had.

Earth, also known as: the moon's moon

From the sound alone, before the nerd cubed logo even panned away, having never heard of this game before, I immediately thought "wow this game is old."

No way... No way... No way! NO WAY! My favorite game from childhood!

The video opens with a HELLLLOOOOO me: sheds a tear thinking about the old times

Oh my god I loved this game so much, the title screen song is forever in my mind

I would love to see a full series of this

THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD GAME

....who gave you permission to recover this from the deepest recesses of my memory?

Leo you legend! thanks for getting him to play this!

This game is an absolute gem! An underrated classic that I remember playing for hours on end day after day during my childhood. Definitely recommend it!

This game was my chilldhood in the mid to late 2000's... good shit, I knew pretty much every secret and glitch area in MP lol. Shame blizzard scooped up the devs just as they started concepting a sequel >:(

I remember loving this game as a kid

This game was amazing! Too bad I think EA or someone has the IP and has no plans of using it ever. The original owner wanted to make more, but contracts and the like screwed him over.

Holy crap I was just thinking about this game a couple of days ago.

Really wish you played more, there are many charming moments and fun moments.

love how he quickly walks by the vehicle before running into the enemy vehicles

the game gets more intresting the longer you play

My mate used to have this game and we’d take it in turns to play through the campaign into the wee hours of the morning. The destruction engine actually made it so fun. This game actually created a running joke that went for years with my friends. One night me and the friend who owned it played it into the VERY wee hours, while one other friend crashed out earlier and sort of half slept, half randomly piped up with little bits of commentary. As we were playing, we’d discover the secret chips and say “oh there’s a chip!” and our delirious, basically asleep friend would pipe up with “I like chips!” in a sleep-drunk voice without fail any time we mentioned chips. For the rest of the time I knew those guys, any mention of chips in any context would have one of us give a wry smile, pause and say “I like chips” (We’re Aussie so we call both crisps and fries, “chips” so the trigger word came up fairly regularly)

Oh man I loved this game growing up it was great and a remale or even just an update of the graphics and controls

I missed that intro 😢❤️

AAAAAAAA I REMEMBER THIS GAME AS A KID AND IT ALWAYS SEEMED UNDER-RATED AND I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE EVER WOULD PLAY IT BUT YOU ARE?? WOWZA OMG, HEK

Every restaurant is a drive through if you drive fast enough. Well shit, he cracked the case!

This is the game that i wanted to play when i was way younger but i couldn't because the disk was scratched, thanks for bringing back the memory of this game and showing me what it actually looks like past the start menu.

I absoulety love this game to death, and i could never beat the driving level as a kid

I remember seeing this game in the bargain bin countless times. I think i missed out

This is legitimately one of my favorite games of all time. So glad that it's getting some kind of attention, I felt like I was the only person who knew about it when I played it as a kid.

I completely forgot about this game, I absolutely loved it

Excellent choice for a game. Can't believe this game didn't get more praise when it came out

This is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm so glad someone recommended it

This was one of my childhood games, such an amazing gem. Loved the ability to "Jack" into things and control robots and vehicles.. Specially when you can shoot their arms and get them to flail about xD

I was just minding my own business when all of a sudden i decided to search up metal arms, and then I subbed to this guy when I saw him playing this hidden gem of a game.

I had this game on PS2 as a kid and for the longest i thought this game didnt exist. I'm glad to see others enjoying a hidden gem that I seem to be the only person to know about it.

I was so shook when i played the vid and listened to that intro, i instantly checked the date... oh man... *sheds tear*

For some reason this video reminds me a LOT of the Futurama completes series

There was a sequel planned that Blizzard killed when they bought the company behind this game.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME FOR NEARLY A DECADE. Could never remember the name of it, thank you so much!!!

3:30 Those "Speedrun Strats" need to show up in the next best of video

Oh my god, I was thinking about this game a couple of days ago! I used to love this game when I had it on the PS2 - the multiplayer was incredibly engaging, though I sucked at the campaign

This game brings back memories! Played this when i was at school, borrowed it from a friend. There was a level in a colosseum i was stuck on for ages 😂

HE DID IT HE SAID THE THING almost This is some real classic NerdCubed. Old game seems to bring old-style Dan. I loved it. Hard to believe this was released this year.

"Is this a Halo spinoff?" *Krunk says something* *Laughs out loud* Metal Arms in a nutshell XD

Dan: Matt, edit this out Matt: No

I 100%'d this game back in the day on the ol' xbox. I just wish I had people to play multiplayer with. It's so fun, all the vehicles, hijackable bodies, etc.

i have so many memories of playing this game with my best friend. We would hop in the multiplayer levels and just screw around for hours, never actually really *playing* I bet it would make a solid father and son days

One of the best games I ever played, so freaking good.!!!

This game made me start playing games I’m 14 btw and grew up playing this game until ps3 came out

Fucking love this. Saw this pop up in my sub feed while I was working a night shift, if I had enough money to back you on patreon I would. You are literally the best youtuber on this platform please don't stop. And if you do, tell this platform where your moving to!! Been here since bf3 don't stop!!

He's gotta keep playing to where you get the gun that lets you posses other mils at will! and the Colosseum gladiator levels were badass. and the final levels/final boss was badass, and thoses zombie levels were badass. This game was a childhood favorite and still is

The bad puns, the retro game, rapid editing, and fast paced humor... did I go back in time to 2014?

METAL ARMS! My favourite childhood game, a gem for sure.

ahhh game cube, that brings me back to when I gave somebody a black eye and a concussion with the remote when playing Lego star wars...

I can't believe you never played it, it was such a fun game. Later you get to control any of the enemies if you can sneak up on them, thanks to the guttermouth bot from the start. Great fun this game, shame it disappeared into obscurity

Watching this brings back so many fond memories. Even the multiplayer in this was stupidly fun. Would have hopefully enjoyed the sequal if one was ever made. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

This game was part of my childhood. Damn this brings back memories

4:15 AND NOW HIS BYTES ARE MAKING A LOT MORE SENSE

Aw man, I saw the title pop up in my feed and I thought some kind of remastered edition snuck out without me knowing! Had this on the Gamecube and it still holds a special place in my heart!

Fond memories of playing this way back on the PS2. Also local multiplayer was a delight.

I always loved how violent the death animation was

This game is so old I actually decided to watch one of your videos.

One of my favourite xbox games of all time! So happy to see this.

OMG I REMEBER THIS!!!! the zombi bots gave me nightmares as a kid and the MP was DOPE

One of the best games on ps2 i would definitely watch a full playthrough of this i played it soo much as a kid

This is one of my favorite games I played this for so many years on the wii. So much nostalgia.

That robot barely looks any different than the others, yet they are all like "never seen one like it".

Mutiplayer was fun i thought the tether gun was genius letting you control enemies was great

This game definitely deserves a good ol full playthrough

Me: damn, what was that game we had when I was little, that was kind of like Ratchet and Clank , but with robots and swearing. Nerd^3: I got you.

How did I recognise that nuke at 18:33 from the intro to ninokuni 2 like why did I recognise that?

Best game as a kid hands down right now.

I remember playing this when this came out, it was such a good game and freaking massive, took so long to finish.

This reminds me of old school Dan in the best of ways, really made my day

The mission variety is fantastic in this! Needs a completes!

OMG THIS IS A GEM I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THIS GAME

This should be a series. And you should play multiplayer with other people if you can.

loved this game as a kid and I wished that could have managed to get all the gold chips to unlock General Corrosive in multiplayer

No one tell Dan spiders make gliders out of their webs to catch updrafts and that they do fly.

Hope Dan and Matt make a GTA V map again soon! Or replay the Hollywood nights map. I love those streams.

I literally bought a classic xbox off of Amazon and this game to get back to my 10yearold feelsies!! Playing multi split screen til the morning!!! Great times

This makes me want to hook up my ps2 and play metal arms all over again

fuck yes fuck yes, the best game ever fucking made. I dunked DAYS into this as a kid, fucking amazing.

I wish he could have made it to the zombie part

This was one of my favorite games growing up

I use to play this game on the ps2 so much, I absolutely loved it

I love this game! Not played much of the campaign mainly f*cking around in multiplayer

I love watching dan enjoy games I love, sweet validation.

Holy shit, this is a nice surprise. This game kicked ass, it's a shame the sequel never happened!

Shiiit I remember this game. If you take the disc out of the console shit breaks, but it stays running, it gets really cool

I played this game when i was a child. This brings back memories

All restaurants are drive thrus If you drive fast enough *cuts to that clip of the guy driving through the front of a shop*

This game was amazing and a very fond memory from my childhood. If it was ever remastered id be like Fry "take my money!"

I loved this as a kid

I died inside a little everytime you missed a secret/item lol

I loved this game as a kid!

holy crap... did not expect the old intro
