Raziel Report post Posted September 2, 2005 It's alot of fun, but it's hard as hell. even on the easy setting o.o There are just so many bugs everywheres. Would you like to know more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Prezioso Report post Posted September 2, 2005 Man, I hope the whiskey outpost scene is as amazing in the game as it was in the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aperson Report post Posted September 3, 2005 I didn't find the easy setting to hard, harder than most "easy" difficulties. Granted I had to restart once as I didn't know the second weapon had a shotgun and I can't use the normal fire on either gun to kill the damn bugs. Otherwise, its a neat game and there are scenes with alot of bugs. My main gripe is that the weapon sounds are rather weak sounding and your squad members do little to help when you have to get the energy cell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjy01 Report post Posted September 3, 2005 It captured the flavor of the movie. LOTS of bugs. Pretty standard run and gun (although in fairness the full version maybe completely different.) Anyone get past the crash site? I've died each time and that's on the easy setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paranide Report post Posted September 3, 2005 quote:Anyone get past the crash site? I've died each time and that's on the easy setting.Yep.Managed it in the 2ndt attempt. You have to pick up the heavy shotgun at the crash site. It kills 1 bug with 1 shot.(though it is even then still quite tough to survive) Well,and then you just have to plant the mines near the outpost,to trigger the massive spawnfest of bugs(I'd say 100+ bugs). This last onslaught did IMO compensate the rather lame beginning,especially when the bugs manage to break through the outpost's walls.Though unfortunately the demo ends quite abrupt the moment when the big bug breaks through(the flame throwing one,don't know how it is named).

Kalshion Report post Posted September 3, 2005 Blaster bug... Nasty bug's, can fry a human in seconds (Watched Starship Trooper Roughnecks a bit to much ) I dunno.. still itchy on getting the demo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paranide Report post Posted September 3, 2005 Ah thanks kalshion Anyway,I'd recommend the demo to noone,to be honest.400+ Mbytes for approximately 5 to 7 minutes fun is not very balanced IMO. And though the game already has the potential to catch the ST feeling,IMO they need some serious more work to do until they can release it.If the demo represents beta-stage(or higher),then good-night,as the demo lacks quality a lot(though demos are normally used to awaken the interest of possible purchasers...)

TARWMSRK Report post Posted September 3, 2005 The demo is just as cheesy as the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Prezioso Report post Posted September 3, 2005 That's a good thing. The movie was intentionally camp and cheesy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougar_DK Report post Posted September 6, 2005 I'm pretty sure the big bug is called a tanker bug, if its the same as the one in the movie. Like this one. I really enjoyed the first movie and the Roughneck series. But Starship Troopers 2 and this demo IMHO sux. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel Report post Posted September 6, 2005 Like the movies, the game seems to be a hate it or love it, with no in betweens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruis.In Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I think its fun, but will I find 50 bucks on it? Doubtful unless there are missions with lots of bugs all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
