Metal Arms: Glitch in the System/Multiplayer

Up to four players can compete in multiplayer mode in the Xbox and Gamecube versions of the game, but this number is limited to two in the PS2 version. The PS2 version contains two exclusive maps, however.

The game begins with 4 multiplayer levels unlocked, with the rest unlocked by finding set numbers of secret chips in the Campaign. Players can create custom-made game variants for use in multiplayer, which allows them to enable and disable certain modes and objects during gameplay.

Bot Brawl
Comparable to Deathmatch. The first bot to gain a set number of kills wins.

Team Bot Brawl
Similar to Bot Brawl, except players are split up into teams and share scores.

Possession Melee
Players cannot directly attack other players, instead they must control or recruit other Bots to gain points.

King of The Hill
Players must gain control of a certain place in the level for a selected amount of time in order to win.

Moving Hill
Same as King of The Hill, but the control point moves.

Tag
Players must "tag" (kill) a player. The killed player then becomes "it." Whoever has been "it" the least after a time limit expires wins.

Reverse Tag
The objective is to become tagged by destroying an opponent and then staying that way for as long as possible.
