RoboCop: Rogue City Expansion Will Let You Play As The Fleshy Version Of The Ultimate Cop

For the first time in RoboCop history, you'll be able to play as Alex Murphy before his OCP upgrade

While it looks like you'll have plenty of targets and challenging opponents in the expansion, it does add an interesting wrinkle in the form of flashback missions. These levels will let players step into the boots of Alex Murphy long before he had his fatal encounter with Clarence J. Boddicker and his gang in the 1987 film. Additionally, the levels featuring RoboCop will also give players access to new weapons, brutal finishers, and special missions.

RoboCop: Rogue City is admittedly a flawed game, but if you can overlook its rougher parts, you'll find that it's incredibly faithful to the source material and a fun blast of '80s action. Teyon had several post-launch updates for the game, including a New Game Plus mode that fans had been requesting.

In GameSpot's RoboCop: Rogue City review, reviewer Richard Wakeling called the game a solid--if sometimes poorly paced--shooter full of fun references that RoboCop fans will appreciate. "If you're a fan of RoboCop, then you'll find a lot to love in Rogue City. It's chock full of Easter eggs and manages to capture the look and feel of the first two RoboCop movies with excellent attention to detail, even getting Peter Weller to reprise his role as the eponymous hero."
