Why all the hate?

User Rating: 8.5 | Starship Troopers PC

OK, I felt compelled to review this game because it seems to have gotten a pretty bad rap from Gamespot and several other players, but I just don't understand why!. This game might not be at the graphic standards of Doom3 or Half-life2 but, in my humble opinion, it is still pretty enjoyable particularly since the massive graphics and gameplay patch 5.24 (200Mbits and some...). It is possible that the game was pretty crappy before that patch release, but now, fully patched, I'm having a blast!. My machine is not a uber gaming computer but it is still decent (Intel Duo Quad core with a Geforce 8600 GTS). I'm running the game a near max options: it is smooth, great display of several 100's of bugs, fast paced...I have nothing to complain about.
Now, most people seem to have some beef with the scenario...well I have to admit that it is not exactly deep and thoughtful but HEY! these are the Starship Troopers!. And this means bug guts flying everywhere and soldiers getting maimed, vaporized by plasma bugs, picked up by flying bugs....If you are familiar and love the lore of the CGI series: Roughneck Chronicles (and I do!), you are going the absolutely love this game!. You'll feel like Rico and the crew going at it like in the series.
I personnaly I like the game for what it is: a frantic shooting gallery, always wandering what type of bugs are going to show-up next! I love the diversity of the critters and the movie/score pieces inserted in the game. It is not a groundbreaking game but it still deserve some attention. Get it, you will not regret it especially if you liked the Roughneck Chronicles.
