'''''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|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== <s>Cut Scenes</s> ===
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}}. This has been fixed by {{revision|5.0-15294}}.

=== HD Texture Pack ===
The Gamecube version of the game has worse textures. This is remedied by the [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-metal-arms-mapping-project Metal Arms Mapping Project], which uses textures sourced from the Xbox version and directly from a developer.
