I had a lot of fun playing this game, which has a lot of good things and a fair amount of bad things in it as well. Let's start with the bad. When you get up close to a lot of bugs at once, or there is a lot of dust flying around in the game, it kills the framerate. this happens a couple times in a few different levels. also, trying to get into a multiplayer game is harder than some of the missions in the actual game itself. When you try to get into a game that has 7 out of 8 players, it's generally full, and it tells you this only after you've waited through the long loading time of getting into the game. after that, it sends you back to the main menu, which you have to sit through another little loading screen for. this can just get tedious. but, if you do happen to get into a good multiplayer game (most of which are co-op mode), it can be very fun. the bug swarms in single player are awesome to watch, and i really dont see why most game reviewers dont like this game. i have lots of fun with it, because the frame rate issue rarely happens. i recommend this game to anyone that likes [nearly] meaningless violence and bug guts.

While the game maintains loyalty mainly to the Verhoven flick, the game is the closest thing you to an interactive bug hunt, fans of the actual book Maruder suits are going to get dissapointed, but if the suit dynamics alone are what you are looking for in a game than i suggest that you'd buy tribes: vengeance (no bugs though).

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Starship Troopers (DVD-ROM)

I love this game. It is the best game i have played. There are some pros and cons(mostly pros).The graphics are great and you can have so many guns and the ammount of ammo it lets you have is amazing now for the cons. The storyline is too short, I wish there were more levels also there are some bugs that take like 30 minutes to kill like the adault plasma bug at the end of level 4. I recomend this game to any sci-fi fan.
