Few cinematic properties entertain me as much as Paul Verhoeven's 1987 RoboCop. Violent, gritty, and satirical, the classic sci-fi adventure remains a crisply designed piece of filmmaking made by artists clever enough to blend not-so-subtle social commentary with thrilling entertainment.
. Violent, gritty, and satirical, the classic sci-fi adventure remains a crisply designed and pertinent film. It’s clever enough to blend not-so-subtle social commentary with thrilling entertainment. You pick it apart from any angle and it holds up.
Later, in 2014, MGM rebooted RoboCop into something more accessible to general audiences. Starring Joel Kinnaman, this iteration was more Batman than twisted sci-fi and nixed Verhoeven’s dark satire for a more straightforward action picture with mediocre results. A few years later, District 9 director Neill Blomkamp jumped aboard a proposed sequel that would ignore RoboCop 2 and 3 and picked up immediately after the original.No matter.
Surprisingly, characters like Officer Anne Lewis look great. However, mouths rarely match their words, which is baffling in 2023. Also, RoboCop is easy to control. His only abilities are forward, back, point, shoot, recover, reload, scan, and run. There aren’t any special powers or silly gimmicks—at least, not yet. He’s a machine who shrugs off strategy in favor of a head-on approach. Thankfully, he can sustain quite a bit of damage.Rogue City doesn’t shy away from violence. As stated above, the game plays like the original Doom. Machine guns rip limbs off bad guys, while assault rifles blow them into a chunky marinara.
