    The sheer intensity of the firefights in this game makes it worth the money, and given that it’s relatively inexpensive to pick up (you’re looking at a $30-$40 dent in your wallet), it’s worth the majority of that money.
  2. Worth Playing

    It's nice to see a publisher put in a little extra effort with the presentation of their product, which is rare these days.
  3. Next Level Gaming
    68
    The cut-scenes add a nice touch to the storyline, and the nearly limitless number of enemy bugs; matched with their hard armor and aggressive behavior defiantly keep the game, if nothing else, interesting.

    At least the audio captures a bit of the enjoyably cornball feel of the film. The bugs and guns don't make much of an impression, but troops utter intentionally cheesy lines like, "I'm so bad I scare myself!"

    It is an exercise in immense frustration and painful tedium. When it works, and this feels a stupid sentence at this point, it does manifest the correct semiotic indicators of first-person shooting. You are mowing down literally hundreds of baddies with big metal guns. But that's it. And it isn't all that much.
  6. Game Over Online
    35
    This videogame is a soulless, shambling zombie wreck. It is rife with bad graphics, AI, gameplay, voicework, plot (if it can even be said to have a plot), and weapons.
  7. Computer Games Magazine
    20
    In lieu of interesting situations, tactics, thrills, or simple variety, Starship Troopers coughs up a big greasy hairball of run-right-at-you enemies that never stop coming. [Mar 2006, p.55]

Yes it got ugly graphic engine that was made specifically for this game so that it could handle so many bugs on the screen. Yes its clunky at times. But if you are willing to overcome these things and you are huge fan of ST (mainly of the movie version in this case) and you want to shoot some bugs you gonna have one hell of a time ! Its full of movie references with cutscenes from the first two movies. Shooting the bugs is fun as well as to watch fellow troopers shooting them. And they can cover your back pretty nicely actually! (If they can stay alive :) You can download it for free together with the patch so you shouldn't got any problems running it. (Works fine on my Windows 10). I say go for it and have fun. Come on you apes you wanna live forever ??… Expand

    The net has been very unjust to this game... in its way, its amazing.

Graphic isnt that bad, and surely having LOTS of bugs around you gave the same impression of watching the movie. Sound makes his job... nothing exceptional, ok, but neither orrible. Gameplay is very fun... sure, enemies have no IA. They are bugs, remember? This is all about smashing tons and tons of bugs, wave after wave... the game never promised something else so you may like it or not, but its stupid to get angry if its not your type of game. I enjoyed ST... it really goes on smoothly: think at it like a casual game, only an FPS. If you have a powerfull enough pc and you play it at easy settings (very important this: only on easy the npc stays alive and give the felling of being part o a team), you'll enjoy it... and maybe youll replay it more than some FPS-masterpiece that request you to be focused all the time. I surely did it… Expand

Friendly AI is simply horrible, some kind of system where you can command like in Half Life 2 would be better. The human models looks crap. The worst mission ever was when you were going to rescue that general. All he does is complain , why don't he do the job self then instead of sitting in a car! This game sucked.… Expand

    Easily the worst FPS I've ever played and I've played a lot. Graphics are rubbish and they chug like a mofo and my machine plays Easily the worst FPS I've ever played and I've played a lot. Graphics are rubbish and they chug like a mofo and my machine plays everything from X3 to Farcry maxed out. The gameplay is extremely poor and it's just generally incredibly dull and ugly at every turn. Save yourself some time and throw your money straight down the toilet!! And whats up with the dude from Worthplaying who gave this 70 ?!?! Halflife 2 must have blown his mind.… Expand
