Fell out of the Ugly-Tree and Hit Every Branch On the Way Down

Bad. Grainy Video from the movie. Wooden voice acting. Ugly character models. Jaggy indoor areas that look like PS1 graphics. Hope you like primary colors! Ugly, flat looking bugs (sprites! so old it's new) who make annoying squeaks. Hundreds and hundreds of annoying squeaks.
I played it for a good 15 minutes, chuckled to myself and uninstalled it. To it's credit, there are some decent looking landscapes, and the Bugs swarm in a nice fashion... but the same could be said of a landfill.

No Me Gusta.

Sony picked up the film license and lost alot of money at the time... so I guess they didn't want any involvement in this title. Too bad. I really wanted to like it.

Can't even play the full version

There are a lot of techinical problems with this game. There are many people who can't play this game at all, and I am one of them. It will not even launch for me. I have a 256 MB graphics card, as good as they come. I have a 3.4 Ghz processor, 1 GB of memory and a 250 gb hard rive which doesnt get much better. From scanning forums and sites trying to find answers for why this game does not work, I saw many people complaining about shading problems like streaks across the screen, and problems like error messages that randomly pop up and exit you out of the game at the worst times. From the demo versions however, it's apparent that the game is worth playing. The units both bugs and humans are well though out, and the graphics are very nice. The swarm engine is very interesting because you can have massive amounts of firefight and almost no lag from it. I reccomend only getting this game if u meet every requirement and have ONLY the video cards specified by Stranglite. it doesnt matter if you have the best card available, if it's not specifically supported by the game, it probably will not work. This is not a game for casusal players who keep the video card that came with their computer.

Can't even play the game

From what I can play to it's fun and cool. The problem is that at some parts of the game it kicks me out and restarts windows. It does that when I fire my guns, or just walk up to the bugs. My pc has all the the parts it needs to play. I try everything to get it to work and still can't even beat the second level.

Fun game but a pain to play with to get it to work.

my opinion

Starchip troopers broken down is simply a frist person shooter in another world. This was a bit of a let down in terrms of gameplay and possed few to no challenges, other than a low jump capabilities wich probabley is the only bit of realism in the game. (this comment form playing games that when in power armor allow you to jump higher and move faster)

The graphics of the game were over all well done as well as the "SWARM engine" the developers used was fun to watch. I would have to say that there were two things they could of done more on was fire and the people.

Other than this the condtion of the game it self was brand new.

Soon to be incorporated...

This game is entertaining for a couple hours. The multiplayer is entertaining for a couple minutes. There is only a single mp scenario; defend point X. While the "swarm engine" is intriguing, and should prove more so when incorporated into games with more substance, this game is one to pick up used, and will not linger on any serious gamer's shelf for more than a week. Yes, it's an adrenaline fest, but there's little for the mind here. I bought two copies for my son and I, and both are already resold, after a single four hour session. Serious Sam II is more enticing than this boondoggle. That being said, the images and the combat are loads of fun. For a couple hours.

Were's that can of bug spray?

If your a ST fan, get it. If not Pass. Alot of bugs. you get tired of just shooting a the same bugs, then you don't care if your whole team gets bugged or not. Down load the Demo 1st so see if you like it. requires a monster graphics gaming PC.

yay

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.

Heinlein fans gear up!

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).

It " ROCKS" on my laptop!!!!!!

First I don`t know why so many people have problems with the game crashing, locking up, etc.... I have a GATEWAY laptop with a 64mb video card and 2.6 cpu and 512mb memory and the game is AWESOME!!! The graphics are really cool and the weapons kick ass too!!!!! If you are having problems playing the game try changing the resolution to 640x480 and turn the detail down. The online play is pretty tuff, so practice on single player before moving on. Also I bought the game when it first came out and paid $50.00 for it. Also if you buy it and other games make sure you buy AMERICAN not Thailand or China, I bought this game for $20.00 off EBay for my friends birthday (China,Thailand Edition,much cheaper) and the game plays rough. Basicly you get what you pay for!!!!!!
