'Starship Troopers' (ALL) Goes Gold In North America

by Rainier on Nov. 3, 2005 @ 9:28 a.m. PST

Developed by Strangelite Studio, the game is based on the Starship Troopers movie in which you will take the role of an elite 'special forces' trooper in the Mobile Infantry spearheading the assault against thousands of intelligent enemy bugs, emulating the best scenes from the movie and a whole lot more!

Players are one step closer to blasting alien arachnids into oblivion and earning their citizenship as an Elite Marauder, all while trying to restore peace, as millions of killer bugs run amuck and threaten human life as we know it.

Starship Troopers introduces a terrifying assortment of enemy bugs for players to destroy using an impressive range of weapons like the M4 Morita Rifle and infamous nuke launchers. Players must control their nerves and use their wit as they move through the game’s frenetic missions, which take them through varied combat environments such as wide-opened battlefields, abandoned mines and claustrophobic bug nests.

The game covers the entire Starship Troopers universe from the classic novel and TV series to the feature films. In fact, actor Casper Van Dien, who played the brave yet novice Johnny Rico in the film, introduces each mission in the game.

So prepare to succeed in a universe filled with chaos and oversized multi-legged creatures in this epic gung-ho bug-blasting adventure that is sure to capture the adrenaline rush of the films and more.
