No joke, this is probably the best digital representation of RoboCop. It oozes the old Paul Verhoeven style despite having a similar gameplay loop to other semi-open area shooters. Story sequences will take place in linear locations, but there's plenty of bad guys to shoot and the autocannon you have for a sidearm makes the whole thing infinitely enjoyable. There are other weapons you can pick up, and for some encounters you're expected to use them, but the trusty Auto-9 will always be your most reliable weapon.

Old Detroit may not be an open environment to explore around in, but in a game like this that doesn't matter--there's few activities to do on each map, which is preferable to being a completely open but boring sandbox.

Peter Weller, the legend, joins this project to voice the titular part-man, part-machine cop and does a tremendous job with the inflections of RoboCop. This is taking place supposedly between the 2nd and 3rd movies, however, so I'm not 100% sure about how RoboCop is supposed to behave at this point. The game's environments definitely feel like they belong in the first movie, though, and that's really all I care about.

This is actually a pretty decent one-man-army shooter and I'd highly recommend buying it. The developers at Teyon sure have come a very long way from Rambo: The Video Game.
