'''''Metal Arms: Glitch in the System''''' is a third-person shooter developed by Swingin' Ape Studios. It was published by Vivendi Universal on November 18, 2003 in North America for the Nintendo [[GameCube]], PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Set to the backdrop of a distant universe inhabited exclusively by robots, '''''Metal Arms: Glitch in the System''''' is on an adventure to save his home planet Iron Star from the evil General Corrosive and his various mechanical minions. You take control of the colorful machine think of him as a mini-mech who seems innocent enough but in actuality is armed to the teeth with various weapons and unique abilities. The setup results in an experience that approaches perpetual carnage, and it's all paced along and broken apart by some witty banter, too. But the real draw is the character's ability to sneak up behind robot foes equipped with open rear data panels and hack into and take control of them. Add to that split-screen multiplayer battles, and you've got total robot destruction, third-person-shooter-style.

== Problems ==
=== Intro Video ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
The intro video tends to skip and crash dolphin. It is possible to get around this issue by using save states, saving every so often and loading these saves after dolphin crashes. It is also possible to load a save state before the entire application crashes, when the sound or video starts skipping quickly load the last save state, this is not exactly easy however.
=== Cut Scenes ===
Since a TMEM emulation issue introduced in {{revision|5.0-4703}} videos are broken regardless of settings. They typically will only display a white or black screen while the audio for the clip plays normally. Refer {{issue|11164}}.

Even after getting through the intro, problems were experienced with saving data. The memory card would become corrupted and you would be forced to reset the profile (have to go through the intro video again) or continue without saving. When continuing without saving all progress will not be saved and anything that is unlocked for multi-player will not be usable.
