About the Game

Robocop places you in the titanium-coated-with-kevlar boots of Alex Murphy, killed in the line of duty and resurrected as the cyborg officer Robocop. The 2003 game features a new plot not featured in any of the films. Crime is up in Neo-Detroit due to the rapid proliferation of a new designer drug "Brain Drain," and the efforts of crime lord William Nexx to control its profitable distribution. Meanwhile, a mayoral race is heating up and getting dirty.

Gameplay & Core Systems

At its core, the gameplay is handled as a typical first-person-shooter, with various Robocop enhancements. players can mark up to three targets with a lock-on button, who Robo will then auto-aim at in sequence. Multiple weapons are also available, from the signature automatic pistol, to missile launchers and energy weapons. Objectives are given for each mission, from rescuing hostages to finding clues. Clues can be examined after each mission to explore the story (also updated through TV news breaks, in the style of the films).

Standout Features

• Thermal vision can be activated to see through walls in a limited distance.
• If players can target and shoot a enemy's pistol, they will surrender and can be arrested.
• Should players kill a hostage or surrendered enemy, they will take damage, forcing players to follow Robocop's ethics and "prime directives."
