My Sons (8, 10 yo) Love It!

I had some initial problems getting it to run. It now works with a dual video graphics card (SLIx2 NVidia GeForce 6200) with an AMD 64bit Athlon with 2 GB RAM. I play sit-down strategy games by HPS, Talonsoft, or Matrix Games mostly (my sons call the "old-man games"). However, I turned the boys on to this game and man do they eat it up. I see them playing it a lot and they say "Thanks Dad for getting us this game". So, the review is based on these young boys. They do say that the game is hard to beat "even on easy setting" so game designers take note: make your easy setting such that a boy of 8 yrs can do reasonably well.

One of the Best so far

I like this game...alot. It was very intriguing since it piteed you against so many people at once. I speak the truth when I say I felt like I was gonna die with so many enemies in the later missions. IT was NUTS, I recommend it for everyone that loves a challenge and a decent storyline.

This game rocks!!!

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.

Really enjoy this one. Used to play Starship Troopers when it was a board game with dice and charts, much better now. Only problem I have with it is the nearly undestrucable Royals. Need to increase the hit zone for thier weak spot, its way to small!!

While this game does have it's shortfalls and I would've rather had the power armor that the first version many years ago promised, I am definately pleased with this version of the game. I have no problems running it on my laptop, and when I'm not out on missions in Iraq all I do is play SST!!! Some of the objectives are a little mindless, go here and push that then blow up some bugs, but the swarm engine and the bugs' AI more than make up for it. I love the weapons and their functions, none is an uber weapon that can do anything and alot of the new bugs actually make sense and some even come from the tv show Roughnecks:Starship Troopers Chronicles, also a good buy.

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!!!!!!

If you want a game where you feel extremely powerful, this is deffinetely it! This game pits you against hundreds of bugs, sometimes with help, sometimes without. The game always has you on your toes, and most the time never has a dull moment.

Pro's: Massive amount of killing, with some hard mobs thrown here and their. Variety of arsenal, and enemies, which you have to pair each other together to be the most effective. Very heart pounding.

Con's: Their are some rather pointless points, and overly lengthened. Sometimes your put against a really easy enemy, that takes forever to kill, which can create a very dull fight. Also some very pointless times, like a door is stuck, so you have to wait for a mechanic to come and fix it, no bugs attack, nothing for you to do, just stand around and wait, pretty pointless.

Overall: Very great game, deffinetely worth buying, and showing off to friend the amount of slaughter you can lay down. I would love to play the Multiplayer, but not enough people really play. I deffinetely suggest this game, specially for its price.
