This game has some real bad bugs, sorry bad pun.

User Rating: 7.5 | Starship Troopers PC
By Crimson_Raven | Review Date:
One of the main points of this game is to give the player a firsthand experience from the perspective of the characters of the movie Starship Troopers, which was definitely acheived. The first level of the game does a good job imposing the sheer scale of the battles on the player. But with the scale of the battles comes a few concessions from other areas.

The animations of the bug hordes when they're seen from a distance is choppy, but they look fine when you move close enough to shoot them. The enemy AI is not advanced in that they will not take cover under fire or anything like that, but rather they move and act like they do in the movies, like a horde of living weapons with a single goal.

Although some parts come close to becoming tedious, the game offers enough fresh obstacles to keep the average gamer interested. The enemy types are many and varied, and they have a lot of different tactics in their employ. In the end Starship Troopers' number of enemies, fun gameplay, and cool environments add to a gritty futuristic war game with killer bugs that satisfies.

I picked my copy up of of ebay for $10 and it was a great buy. It kept me excited and I enjoyed every minute of it. Of course I am a big fan of the 2 movies and hope to see more sequels too.
