(mini-review).

I loved RoboCop in the theater. It was a fun movie that I had the chance to watch in person, as a child. Unfortunately, this game feels like a woefully ancient throwback from the mid 2000-aughts. Graphics are a mixed bag with great atmosphere and environments but terrible character models and UI elements. The game promptly throws you into combat and it feels *wonderfully* visceral and punchy. Unfortunately, you're soon pulled out and you realize that the item pick-ups, leveling abstractions and go-nowhere, predictable plot comprise the vast majority of the game. While shooting play is great fun, you'll find yourself spending time aimlessly scanning for question marks or wandering dark city streets in a positively tiny rendered portion of Detroit. Bonus points for dragging the game out with pointlessly comedic side-quests or countless plot walls that are blocked by absurdly high stat requirements (engineering, deduction, basket-weaving, et al.).

It's not that RoboCop is a bad game. In 2009, this game would definitely be rated as a 7 or even an 8. It's just in today's age of countless good games that demand time, the fact is that this title is miserably outdated in plotting and game play. You're better off watching the movie on your PLEX server.

Not worth the time. You'll find better games elsewhere.

6.5/10.
