Bugs Sir, Millions Of Them!

Bugs Sir, Millions Of Them!

Empire Interactive announce an
October 2005 launch for the ultimate PC videogame, Starship TroopersTM – a
ground-breaking, epic bug-blasting first person shooter capturing for the first
time the chaos, action and pure adrenaline rush of the definitive blockbuster
sci-fi movie.

Can you hold your nerve, as hundreds
of oversized, killer chitin-armoured bugs come scurrying over the horizon? In
the blink of an eye your compound is surrounded, your ears ringing with machine
gun fire and the screams of a comrade impaled on an arachnid’s huge steel
mandibles. Swarms of Warrior bugs are nerve-jangling enough, but can you manage
to take out a 15m high Tanker Bug with your nuke launcher? As an ‘Elite
Marauder’ you are our only hope. As the General said: "It’s time to earn your
citizenship, trooper!"

Starship TroopersTM the videogame
introduces a terrifying assortment of enemy bugs for you to destroy, with an
impressive range of weapons at your disposal, from the classic M2 Morita Rifle
through to the infamous nuke launcher. Over 300 of your arachnid foe’s can be
tackled on screen at any given time. This has to be played to be believed!
Become totally immersed in immense bug-blasting battles in both famous
action-packed scenes from the movie and never-before-experienced settings and
stories from the Starship TroopersTMuniverse.

Starship TroopersTM the videogame is
the first opportunity to fully experience and expand on the events and
storylines developed in Paul Verhoeven’s classic movie. The game boasts a whole
host of exclusive features including voice-over commentary by Casper van Dien (aka
Johnny Rico from the movie) with numerous and varied combat environments –
indoor and outdoor levels, wide-open battlefields, a secret laboratory,
claustrophobic bug nests, abandoned mines and lonely outposts.

Starship TroopersTM the videogame is
a true PC epic – the most cinematic, all-out-action, adrenaline-pumping
first-person-shooter to ever hit the PC. A must-buy title for fans of the
Starship TroopersTMuniverse and guaranteed to be top of the Christmas lists for
PC Gamers and sci-fi fans alike. The First Person Shooter genre just moved up to
the next level. Heed your General’s battle cry as you run into another swarm of
bugs: "Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?"
