RoboCop: Rogue City - Alex Murphy Edition

LOVE: Very authentic, they did a great job of making the game feel like you're really living in the cinematic world of Robocop. Even got Weller to voice the main character; really, really cool. I got the Murphy Edition for about $20. If this game is your style, that's a REALLY great deal for this level of quality. HATE: Unfortunately (for me), it's a checkpointy and exacting points fest without a proper, functioning save/load system, making you go back and redo entire multi-section levels if you don't want to be punished out of all-important XP, which are used to buy skills. On top of this, Robocop feels really sluggish and hobbled in terms of what he's capable of, so it feels like you really need the XP kind of desperately in order for the fun to happen: When you keep having to redo 2 or more goofy competetive "efficiency challenges" (yuck) in a row multiple times or else miss out on piles of bonus XP/skills because you can't *quite* nail the last one, it gets pretty tiresome & frustrating. If I could just save and replay only the section I need to I'd feel like my time wasn't being wasted. But I also don't have a real chub for replay replay replay under any circumstances: other things to do with my time. In a weird way it feels a little bit like playing survival horror; I don't mean in terms of resource managemant and all that, more that trying really hard to excel while being punished through character movement & control that feels really substandard seems to be the point of it all and where the fun is supposed to come in. I don't have time for this kind of BS, so I uninstalled it. If you love this type of replay replay replay with a chuggy character until you get it *just right* (a lot of people do) this is a pretty awesome game otherwise. I just wish I'd known it was this type of thing so I could have saved my $. Definitely not my bag.

Starting with a game that is not perfect, with some minimal flaws (like NPCs with "sausage arms") that may be distracting; Some NPCs dialog not sync with audio; Two or three glitches. Basically that's the "bad". Now, the game... well, what can I say. If you like Robocop, specially the first movie, and maybe some of the secondmovie, this game is for you. It is a short game (done on purpose to release DLCs, I guess) but none the less, I really enjoyed all the way to the end. Learning curve is easy if you are not an devoted FPS gamer. Once you work with the skills and the PCBs you won't need any other gun than the Auto 9. That gun will decimate an army, and playing the theme during shootings is like playing DOOM, but on brakes. You walk slow, but once you grab a thug by the neck and throw it like a football to the roof, and still shooting fast., well sorry for the spoiler. You really have to play this one. Highly recomended. Peter Weller reprises RoboCop in RoboCop: Rogue City. Get this game. Developer TEYON, while not being a AAA studio, they pulled this one off, being faithful to source material, to the escense of Peter Weller's RoboCop movies. It really is a very solid 8/10 game. I was sad but satisfied when I finished the game. Thanks TEYON for making a very good game. Solid gameplay. Highly recommended.

Even with its budget limitations keeping it grounded, this is a clever, rich, and soulful addition to the RoboCop mythos that every fan of the iconic action hero should play. Shooting punks is weighty and satisfying, the retro-futuristic cyberpunk atmosphere is spot-on, plus there are a bunch of cool side missions to investigate. Don't sleep on this one. It may not have the glamour of most AAA productions...It's a great game that instead of relying on nostalgia to work, Uses it more like it's a spice. Another proof that you can make good videogames based on the beloved motion pictures. You just have to like the base material...

It is fantastic modern looking, classic feeling, first person shooter! It feels like they captured the essence of RoboCop here. I always share the negatives as well so here it goes. - I had one crash to desktop, but thanks to the generous autosave system, I didn't lose significant progress. - At one point I experienced extreme performance drop. Only after restarting the game, did it go away and I was able to replay the affected segment of the game without a problem. - This is personal preference, but to me, the rag doll kills are not RoboCop enough. In the movies, deaths are very animated, people would take several seconds to fall down and die. I assume this would have been way too expensive to do here, but I am still mentioning it as a negative. Overall, I recommend this game fully even to people that don't have RoboCop nostalgia goggles.

Get this edition, it is only adding cosmetic so do not be worry to miss anything concerning story content .
