RoboCop: Rogue City

"Robocop: Rogue City certainly looks the part, but beware of this gleaming, shiny, polished graphical exterior; it hides mechanical insides that are rust-riddled and broken. Dead or alive, this game definitely shouldn&s;t be coming with you."

"Despite performance issues, stiff animations, and a general lack of real difficulty, RoboCop: Rogue City succeeds at being a faithful adaptation of the movies. It&s;s packed with fun action sequences and amusing dialogue with an entertaining storyline that makes you …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is a game dripping with love and appreciation of the source material, made by RoboCop fans, for RoboCop fans. But frustrating late game combat and clumsily resolved story beats raise questions of whether it&s;s for everyone else, …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is an old school shooter that aims primarily to entertain fans of the franchise, who will have the chance to fight crime in the role of the robotic vigilante. Teyon&s;s new project is good enough to provide …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City has its fair share of faults, but the good far outweighs the bad. The visceral combat made gunfights so enjoyable, I looked forward to them even after 10+ hours. It&s;s not a perfect game, but it&s;s entertaining …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City stands out as the most accomplished video game adaptation of this iconic action hero from the 80s. The game manages to captivate fans with its atmosphere and thrills."

"RoboCop: Rogue City feels outdated at its core, but this actually works in its favour. With no pretensions that it&s;s offering something revolutionary, the game focuses on delivering big dumb action scenes interspersed with entertaining detective work. It has an …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is easily the best RoboCop game to date."

"It&s;s a far cry from being the shooter of the year, but it has a nostalgic "I don&s;t know what" that makes you want to play, especially if you freaked out with the uninhibited action of the movies."

"RoboCop: Rogue City is the best video game dedicated to Verhoeven&s;s character, and that alone might be enough of a recommendation for a slice of the old-timers. It is satisfying and brutal, a video game as gory and simple as …"

"Despite a few things that might feel off, Robocop: Rogue City is likely the closest we&s;ll ever get to the original movie. Like Robocop, the game has a few issues but ultimately gets the job done."

"Just like RoboCop himself, Rogue City is only human, but it&s;s still pretty great. With an intriguing narrative and stellar side missions, exploring Old Detroit is a real treat. Gunplay feels heavy, and engaging your friends and opponents with words …"

"Even if Rogue City had started to rust a little towards the end of its lengthy campaign, its surprisingly in-depth shooting and roleplaying mechanics, love of the source material, and keen understanding of what makes RoboCop so great in the …"

"While RoboCop: Rogue City has fun and engaging combat, where the game truly shines is in its interactivity between characters and detective work."

"RoboCop: Rogue City may not boast the high production quality of a top level “AAA” videogame, but it’s more fun and shows more sincerity than most of them put together. What it lacks in polish it more than makes up …"

"The only thing malfunctioning around here is the economics of game production. And from that struggle, under circumstances that echo those of the original movie’s troubled production, a brilliant piece of work emerges, that somehow nails every part of the …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is a blast to play for long-time fans of the franchise and goes above and beyond to respect its source material. It won&s;t win any awards for being ground-breaking, but Peter Weller offering his voice to a …"

"Robocop: Rogue City reflects its protagonist&s;s qualities. It&s;s well-built and robust, a few glitches aside, and capable of triggering explosive action. Yet it&s;s also mechanical in its design, its dialogue slow and plodding, and limited in its forms of interaction. …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is a pitch-perfect throwback to the action movies of the ‘80s. It’s over-the-top violence with charm, largely well put together but rough on the edges. Most importantly, it&s;s a fun way to spend time in a beloved …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City impresses with tons of fan service, but is held back by half-baked technology."

"RoboCop: Rogue City does an admirable job of bringing the gritty universe of the films to life and of capturing the feeling of playing as the armoured enforcer himself. However, there are only so many cyberpunk lowlifes one can blast …"

"It&s;s a matter of taking that memorable original score, the over-the-top firefights, the thoughtful questlines, and the raw retro/pseudo-90s shtick that ultimately leaves less residual concern over a clumsy facial animation or a tedious boss here and there. Every chapter …"

"Robocop: Rogue City is an argument that not only can licensing IP work well in smaller-scale games, but given the right combination of creativity and focus a more dormant IP can be especially effective. A property like Robocop does not …"

"Hopefully, updates will stamp out these issues because RoboCop: Rogue City provides a respectable adventure that feels like a long-lost shooter of the early 2010s in mostly good ways. Admittedly, the license carries the game through its rougher patches; if …"

"Bloody and crass, but also occasionally very human, Robocop: Rogue City is the most faithful adaptation of the movie universe we&s;ve ever had."

"Robocop: Rogue City&s;s fantastic shootouts are held back by a dull narrative and bloated pacing."

"It may lack a bit of gloss in the visuals, but it captures 100% the feeling of the first film, spreading smiles to RoboCop fans."

"There&s;s just something satisfying about being the tank-like spawn of Dirty Harry and The Terminator as you methodically plow your way through near-future Detroit&s;s criminal underbelly, splattering anyone and everyone who dares to dent you. Like the movies — well, …"

"Admittedly, many of the ratings that Robocop: Rogue City has earned are based more on the objective than the subjective. For that very reason, I think the game deserves a much better score, because it is (yes, I&s;m going to …"

"If you’re a diehard fan of the RoboCop franchise, you may find merit in RoboCop: Rogue City. Regardless of my disappointment with it, I can’t deny that it’s the best RoboCop game we’ve seen. Just keep in mind that isn’t …"

"RoboCop: Rogue City is a methodical shooter that makes you feel like Old Detroit&s;s greatest crime fighter, but it errs when its devotion to authenticity wanes."

"Teyon blends bloody linear shootouts with light open world action for an entertaining, if unadventurous, RoboCop experience."

"While RoboCop does have some fun moments and enjoyable gameplay, it is, on the whole, a shallow, repetitive experience. Living the power-fantasy of being RoboCop does not save it from glitchy, rudimentary gameplay and a story that is too similar …"

"But all that feels incongruent with the game’s source material. Perhaps it’s a bit naïve to hope that any social commentary can survive decades of franchising, but Rogue City’s handling of RoboCop leaves hardly a trace of his origins as …"

"Robocop: Rogue City is an absolute gem of a game. While not as polished as a AAA title, it still manages to look great in motion and function just as well. The bugs I found were minimum and usually happened …"

"I feel like RoboCop: Rogue City is a terrific game. To use the obvious reference: I’d buy that for a dollar. I can see myself playing through its 15-20 hours again, not necessarily to check out things I may have …"
