I watched a few demo gameplay videos on YouTube and wasn't really
enthralled by what I saw. I didn't bother with the demo myself based
on those impressions.
I then watched a few review videos after release, most of which
concluded that you needed to be a RoboCop fan to really
'understand/get' what the game is about. I passed on buying the game
at £44.00
I bought it for £25.00 from GMG yesterday in a moment of weakness and
had a mild attack of buyers remorse after a few minutes playing. If
you don't like RoboCop, and indeed, as one reviewer put it, if it was
called anything else but RoboCop it would probably get panned.
It's not terrible, but at the same time it's hardly engrossing or
makes me want to play more than a few minutes at a time. I'm not quite
sure what a comparatively small number of reviewers are so excited
about.
It's RoboCop. It's sort of OK as a shooter. It's also a bit bland and
samey after even a short while.
You can always play the old game from 1988. Not bad, that one.

As for me, I put most of my robo-time on the Amstrad CPC port, which is >"interesting". The music is different and IMHO superior to the more
standard nes based ports, and it even had digitised voices reading the
prime directives.

My fist RoboCop gaming was on the C64, I played the 2003 PC iteration,
I remember that it was OK. I liked the RoboCop comic entries when I
was younger.
Looking back through the history of RoboCop gaming, according to what
I can read on the internet, it hasn't been a prolific or terribly
successful franchise as far as games go.
I played a little more of Rogue City last night. It is fairly dull and >repetitive thus far.
