They aren't bad. Truth be told, IMHO, they are more collector pieces than actually gaming guns. They use a lot of proprietary parts in their designs and while they often have a lot of ingenuity in their designs (re: the loading system designed for their WA2000), it often leaves me scratching my head as to why they didn't just use a conventional method instead.
In short, if you buy an Ares, make sure you know the internals well in advance so you are not screwed when it comes time to upgrade or replace parts.
I personally wouldn't take anything by Ares unless it was cross compatible. They are starting to do this now. I believe with their spring AW L96A1 line is being advertised as VSR compatible just to address this issue.
