Innerspace and Fantastic Voyage live again as MicroBot, a new arcade style shooter from EA, which will be available summer 2011 on XBLA and PSN.

MicroBot sees the world of nanotechnology gone rampant inside the human body. What should have been a smooth, ‘no worries-mate’ way to fix diseased cells soon becomes a fight for survival through the veins, bones, lungs and brain. Players need to shoot down wave after wave of infected cells in order to keep the host body alive, but I can’t help but wonder if it would be healthy to have shrapnel and used bullet cases floating around the bloodstream afterwards.

Keeping the old-school shooter vibe alive will be a system of over 20 upgrades of weapons and defensive abilities mixed with the promise that replays will be rewarded with new and different level configurations.  MicroBot can’t help but put a smile on my face for some simple but fun shootin’ action.  Come get some.
