    A great combination of real-time strategy with a primary focus on team tactics and intense 3D action.

    Here we have the opposite of the norm -- a great game based on a bad film.

    Captures the essence of a war movie better than any other game I have played, with the possible exception of the original "Close Combat."

    The game is rich, detailed and fun to play. The only large complaint I find with the game is the lack of multiplayer, which will keep Starship Troopers out of the top slot.

But if you want you can keep the squad as good old mobile infantry from the movie the whole time :) Old but really great. Enough said ! And btw not being able to save during the mission was there for a reason because it was much more engaging that way.… Full Review »

    I just love this game - its only drawback is probably the lack of multiplayer mode. One of the games I often re-play since its first issue in 2000.
