Come on you grunts! Do you want to live forever? Not if this game has its way.
As part of a military elite the "Marauders" your given some special equipment to fight off the bugs and stop them from eating everyone alive.
A nice helmet, some body armour, a selection of weapons, to give the advancing horde something to remember you by. Your missions will range from blasting everything in sight, to helping other personnel complete missions to being the only person to take on 153,000,000 bugs with a can of mortein. You'll find some handy ammo packs laying around but unfortunately this ain't enough. As you graphics card lumbers under drawing the bugs, your quickly outnumbered and soon join the thousands of other dead soldiers. Your ability to stop the bugs is achieved by shooting the nerve stem at the bas of the neck, but I assure you that it doesn't matter where you shoot them, the effect is the same, in other words, accuracy does not count, only vast amounts of bullets. When you finally face off against a plasma bug, you might as well go home cause your going to go thru all your ammo and then some and it will still keep on coming.
There's 3 levels of difficultly and to be fair I did select normal play (level 2) in a chance to give the game a chance after reading GS's review of the game.
There's a mission where you must shot flying bugs but unless your carrying a giant fly swatter, the ammo goes to waste. I couldn't really play this again as its simply a mindless FPS with no story and really not enough campaign to keep a single player entertained.
The graphics engine is looking a little dated and does slow alot when it has to draw all those polygons, the voice acting was done at one of the local bus stops and is appalling, the music , well time to fire up that media player in the background as it doesn't add to your atmosphere whilst playing. Controls are the usual keyboard and mouse movement interaction. Oh I forgot, the "Extras" menu item is to watch all the bits of movie they've ripped to show between each level and straight away you know why you lose 6.5GB of hard drive space for this one.
Do your self a favour and buy the Starship Troopers movie instead of this game please.
