Steambot Chronicles

Combat controls are simple; the L1 and R1 buttons activate the weaponry equipped on either of your Trotmobile's left or right arms. You can jump, hover and dodge. It's the steering that's a problem - in or out of battle, the Trotmobile controls like a drunken katamari (if you don't get that reference, think "snowball" ... and rent Katamari Damacy ), requiring you to press both of the analog sticks to steer. At least as far as we've seen so far, the thing veers to the left or right much of the time, if you're not pretty much exact.
