    I give this game a nine becuase not that i am a huge SST fan but i have got to play a demo of it and also i have seen the trialer, this game could be the next HALO if you know what i mean. if you go to www.starshiptrooeprs-game.com you'll see what i mean.

    Good graphic and decent sound. Impressive number of enemies, maybe too many! The game is really frustrating and there no time to think about tactics. AI is very basic too.

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

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

    the game is bollox, no gamma, so gfx look bad, locked up needing reboot my top notch, super stable machine 3 times, bad bad bad, not QA done on this title at all, better get a patch out quick (and a patch that works, unlike the broken one at the moment).

    a game that makes warhammer 40k fire warrior look good. stagnant gameplay & 'dumb' lead you by the hand maps inter spaced with carefully planned 'encounters' and clips from the original movie. a trully painful and horrible gaming experience.

    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!!

    The only reason i gave this a 3 is cause the of the decent graphic. 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.

    The game is full of bugs.Not game bugs like when is crashing.But bugs.Giant bugs.Many bugs.Nice.But where the heck is the fun i mean killing a few thousand bugs with or without squad is boring.Very boring.6.As for the multiplayer you wont find many servers the co-op doesnt work almost all the time and you wont find many players.Almost none.pity.2.

    Excellent game. Wonderful combination of Heinlein and the few tolerable parts that Verhacken's trash film introduced. Superb expansion of Heinlein's world, amazing designs of alien planets...

Oh, you ask about the 2006 Starship Troopers, vomitted out by a collective of tapeworms that called itself "Strangelite"? Well, as for them and their game, I have the Beria reward: a spent shell placed on the top of the spine and then hit hard with the butt of the rifle. I heard Rebellion bought the cretins that developed this pile of manure. I hope they only bought them for organ transplants.… Expand

    Aldığı 46 puanı dahi haketmeyen rezil bir oyun. Beni sizin yerinize zaman kaybetmiş sayın ve bu oyuna bulaşmayın.

    Im a die-hard fan of both versions of Starship troopers and I have to say I really love this game.

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

    Совершенно дрянная игра. Единственное, что понравилось - это второй уровень, где на тебя валит огромное количество жуков, как в фильме, но больше в этой игре смотреть не на что.

    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.

    Technically, the large swarms of bugs are impressive, but otherwise the game looks dated and sounds weak. The fun comes mainly from the game's respect of its source material. The boss fights are incredibly tedious, though. [Dec 2005]

    Starship Troopers has little dedication to faithfully re-creating the things that made the film unique, and it's a pretty lousy and technically deficient shooter to boot.
