I would only recommend this if you're Robocop fan looking for a nostalgia hit, that said this game offers none of the ironic humour found in the first film and you're left with a mindless shooter mixed with a budget version of La Noir. The saving system is awful with no indication that your progress has been saved and no way to manually save which left me having to repeat sections where i thought I was safe to quit the game. The upgrades for both Robocop and his pistol quickly make you completely overpowered and make picking up any other weapon pointless, I played the game on 'hard' difficulty and was able to mow down waves of enemies whilst barely taking any damage and while that sounds fun (and it is for a few minutes) the novelty quickly wears off and the last few levels felt like I was actually bullying the enemies rather than dishing out justice. The story is extremely cliched but it at least feels like it fits with the movies and the choices you make with dialogue make a difference to the characters you interact with. Overall I'm glad I waited for the sale to pick this up, it's too short and not good enough to warrant the original price tag.
