Nothing special...

User Rating: 4.4 | Starship Troopers PC
I am a veteran of the mid 90's strategy epic (hehe) of Starship Troopers. Recently, I was at best buy and noticed... starship troopers, the PC game.. I was like, huh, did they re release it or something? It was 20 bucks, and I'm on workman's comp from my back pain (aaah...), so I figured I'd try it out (I also bought the movie, because I just finished the book... it was a long day).

I figured my computer could handle it, I mean it was only 20 bucks!

Choppy as bloody hell, to begin with! I had to run the game in 800X600X32 @ 75hz with everything off to make it run smoothly, and it looked like crap. I could imagine, on a new system it would look mighty fine, but I don't have that... so nown goes the score.

The gameplay itself is rather redundant, but it does bring a certain nostalgia that was from the movie, and a hint of book-like substance with the Cap trooper (Well, kind of..). The player character is part of some uber commando team, badass like the roughnecks, but more specialized. In this way too it is like the book, where soldiers are spread out over a broad range, rather than en mass as if they themselves were bugs (message!).

Its fun, but... eh.. if you're a fan, try it out. you won'd be dissapointed, unless of course you have high expectations, which I will assume you won't considering most of these reviews. Very barren, compared to oblivion review pages... lol
one last thing, its only got 12 sp missions, and they can blow by quick if you have any idea how to play an FPS.
