RoboCop places you in the boots of Alex Murphy, killed in duty and resurrected as the cyborg officer Robocop . The game features a new plot not featured in any films. Crime is up in Neo-Detroit due to a new designer drug "Brain Drain," and the efforts of crime lord William Nexx to control its distribution. A mayoral race is heating up and getting dirty, with mega-corporation OCP's role unclear.
As Robocop , you'll have to get to the bottom of these mysteries through 9 missions. Gameplay is handled as a typical first-person-shooter, with various enhancements. His HUD is projected on screen and points out available targets. The player can mark up to three targets with a lock-on button, who Robocop will then auto-aim at in sequence. Thermal vision can be activated to see through walls in a limited distance.
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). If you target and shoot an enemy's pistol, they will surrender and can be arrested. However, if you kill a hostage or surrendered enemy, you'll take damage, forcing you to follow Robocop 's ethics and "prime directives."
Gamecube, 2004-03-04 , Action & Adventure, is the platform on which this game was released. As a seasoned gamer, you're likely familiar with the genre, but it's worth noting that Robocop brings a fresh take to the table.
