RoboCop 3

RoboCop 3 on the Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES is a side scrolling shooting/platform game based on the film RoboCop 3, the game sees you playing as the Future of Law Improvement as you go through six levels which require you to get from point A to point B while you shoot any enemies that are in your way, these enemies consist of street thugs, robots, OCP soldiers and on one level small killer rats (Yes that's right, rats can kill RoboCop in this game.), the game play is pretty easy to pick up since all you just do is move and shoot. The graphics are pretty good and the music is okay, one problem RoboCop 3 does have is that it can be difficult at times making it frustrating for the player. One thing is that RoboCop moves slow making it easy for the enemy to hit you with their shots and sometimes your health can deplete quite quickly depending on what hit you. There are power-ups for RoboCop to pick up like health and new weapons which more do more damage to your opponents. Not all the levels are just side scrolling, there are two levels that see you flying around with the Jet-pack blasting various enemies that get in your way like R-Type, these levels can also be difficult since there's so many things shooting at you it can be hard to avoid every attack.

RoboCop 3 is a good game but it can be very frustrating at times, there are some better RoboCop games out there like the original RoboCop arcade, RoboCop Versus The Terminator and RoboCop 3 on the Amiga. If you're a fan of RoboCop or you like to play challenging video games than you might want to give this game a try.

"RoboCop 3" is a game that lets you play as the legendary robotic law enforcer - but, to put it mildly, there's not much joy in it.

The plot is pretty straightforward, just like in the movie it's based on. Bad guys are once again threatening Detroit, and RoboCop has to hit the streets to serve up justice with his trusty gun. Occasionally, he gets his hands on upgraded weapons, but they're nothing to write home about.

The gameplay in "RoboCop 3" is dull and repetitive. Levels all look and feel the same: walk forward, shoot identical enemies, repeat. Every now and then you'll face a boss - familiar villains from the film, like the big robot or the ninja guy - but in the game, they look as if they're tired of this routine too.

Graphics? For 1992 - they're okay. Average. Nothing exciting. The visuals are grey and blocky, and your eyes will quickly tire of the same repetitive scenery. As for RoboCop's movement mechanics - they're a real struggle. He moves slowly and awkwardly, like he genuinely weighs a ton and forgot to oil his joints before heading out on patrol.

In the end, "RoboCop 3" is a game that should've been cool - but turned out to be a snoozefest. It's playable, sure, but it's far from fun. Bland levels, copy-paste enemies, and clunky gameplay drag the whole experience down.

6 out of 10.

RoboCop 3 was a crap film and this game is just as dull and an even bigger waste of time. At this point in the 90s video games of movies (particularly platformers) were either brilliant or downright terrible. However, it was mostly the latter and RoboCop 3 is no exception.

The man in the can goes about his mission of shooting generic bad guys in windows (man in shirt with gun!) or thugs on bikes as he walks from the left side of the screen to the right. The levels are unimaginative and bland with occasionally bizarre design (yeah, there are often moving platforms on city streets!). The sound effects are poor and the music is mass-produced rubbish.

There is a tiny, tiny bit of variety in the different weapons Robo can use but when the gameplay is so boring why would you even waste your time?
