RoboCop Versus the Terminator

I love this game. I recently dug the ol' Sega Genesis out of the attic, and this was one of the first games I played once I got it hooked up. Was one of my favourites as a kid, played it for hours on end, getting nowhere but still having a blast. The weapons are cool, the story is great, the blood looks awesome...I cant think of a single bad thing to say about this game. Robocop is perfect compared to the movies: he movies the same, looks the same, even holds his gun the same way. I do wish we would have seen a bit more Terminator, but the later levels give us quite a lot so I cant complain. This games really does have it all, it even punishes you for cheating! If you cheat, the final boss is quite literally impossible to defeat. It's worth it though, because damn is it fun to plow through enemies in God mode. Overall, this is just an all-out fun action game, I love it.

A fun game that manages to be addictive. Not exactly fascinating by today's standards, but still a full-blooded action game. Should be remade for the newer consoles with better graphics, I'd definitely buy it. 4/5 stars -

RoboCop vs. The Terminator is one of the one of the coolest action video games! The characters, the action, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. The backgrounds are really beautiful! Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

Overall: I have always loved RoboCop vs. The Terminator! If you like excellent adventure games, shooters, and more then I strongly recommend you play this game!

This is another of my favorite video games of all time and one of my favorite licensed games. When it comes to games based on the "Robocop", "Terminator", and even comic book franchises in general it's always been hit or miss, but thankfully this game on the "Genesis" turned out to be dead on accurate, in my book anyway.

It was based on the Crossover Miniseries from Dark Horse Comics, this miniseries was highly popular at the time because back then the crossover genre in comics wasn't really a household genre at the time. Sure, there have been crossovers in comics before even series like "The Avengers" and "Justice League" are sort of crossovers by their nature but never for other properties most notably movies, until that miniseries came out and the rest as they say is history.

I really love the graphical presentation which captures the best of both worlds. For "Robocop's" world it's the neo noir atmosphere of the dark gritty streets of the future city "Detroit City", down to the dark hellish post-apocalyptic future war landscape from "The Terminator".

I even like the character models which are accurate to the characters from the film, from Robocop and the Terminators obviously, but I really love the bosses even more. I like they included ED-209, Robocop 2, Tank Terminators, and other enemies from both films. Though there might be some made up not in the films, but that just something that must be done in order to have a full game and as long as their true to the spirit of both franchises I'm alright.

One of the big pluses is the inclusion of blood effects which enhance the violent feel of the game, which is great as both "Robocop" and "The Terminator" are known for their Rated R violence. Anything less would be a sin, much like cutting away violence for a "Judge Dredd" comic, that's just wrong. It's not anything gory just simple spat effects but it's easy to see how people were blown away by this as there wasn't anything like this at the time; and really showed how video games weren't just for kids, which this game isn't as it's for teens and adults.

I even like the music really has a few memorable tracks but has just that hard gritty rock goodness that fit the game. The sound is also good I really like the sound of the explosion really and a gun or two really feel like your discharging power and that your discharges are making an impact. There are even a few vocal cues for Robocop which were done by Robert John Burke who was the second Robocop in the third film; in a way this game is that third "Robocop" film we should have had.

And of course, the gameplay is spot on it's like any of your simplistic formula run and guns like "Metal Slug" as well as the "Robocop" arcade game (story for another time) which is fine by me as I wouldn't want it any other way. However, this run, and gun is slightly different where in most you're running this one your walking, which is accurate to Robocop as we never see him run. I like this because it's something different because here it's one that causes you to take your time but not too much time as there is constant danger wherever you go; taking your time gives you a moment to breathe and think on how to get from point A to B safely or better. I also like the weapons you have which each have their strengths and weaknesses from Robo's standard semi auto handgun, grenade launcher, pulse riffle, and even the wonderful spread shot.

For fans of one or both "Robocop" and "Terminator, or just vintage licensed games in general, this game is worth a shot.

Rating: 4 stars.

I played this game on Sega so much in 1993 and 1994, it was sick. Around Christmas 1993, when visiting my father, my best friend and I wrote down a secret code from some magazine, so we wouldn't have to buy it, and continued playing. Great game, along with the first Jurassic Park game.

If you happen to have an old Sega console, see if you can pick up the game on eBay, and just have a blast. I'm sure there are walk-thrus and such on the net. Esp. that code I mentioned!

Also, this is based on the comic of the same title, written by RoboCop 2/3 and Sin City writer, Frank Miller (a legend in the comics field) and drawn by Walter Simonson, another legend. The comic was heavily hyped, after the success of Dark Horse Comics' Aliens vs. Predator in 1991, but was a little bit of a disappointing read. Maybe my expectations were too high.
