Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
2023 marked the 25th anniversary of the iconic movie starring everyone’s favourite cyborg law enforcement officer, so I decided to check out RoboCop for the NES to mark this auspicious occasion.
Having played the game, I’m really not sure why I bothered. I was a big fan of Data East’s RoboCop arcade game, a solid interpretation of the movie, so I have to wonder what the heck went wrong when they sat down to develop this pile of rubbish for the NES! The game makes cursory nods to the film’s plot, but you’d never know it, because the level graphics and environments barely resemble anything like what was seen on the big screen.
To be honest, the whole game is just one big litany of errors. RoboCop is listed as 6’ 2“, but the enemies only come up to his waist, making them all about 5’ tall. The way the dudes in purple pants Kung Fu kick their way out of second storey windows like Eric Cantona is just plain silly, as is the way the game randomly holsters Robo’s weapon, forcing you to use fisticuffs for no apparent reason. Perhaps the most ridiculous thing in the whole game is the block mechanic, which allows our metal protagonist to protect himself from damage, something which makes me wonder if this started life as some other game entirely. There’s a moment of levity when I realised it’s possible to make RoboCop Moonwalk backwards down flights of stairs, but like everything else in the game, it’s just utterly dumb.
Apart from a rather funky remix of the movie’s theme tune, there’s absolutely nothing of merit here. It’s a dull slog of a game with bland visuals and zero variety, one that should be consigned to the dumpster and forgotten with immediate effect.
