I don't agree with people who say this is horrendous, but it is pretty basic and, for what it is, doesn't even execute the small number of mechanics very well. Its gameplay depth is on about the level of Wolfenstein 3D, which came out like 11 years prior. The only real difference here (other than the actual 3D) is the ability to shoot a weapon out of someone's hands and arrest them. Which isn't really very fun anyway.

I think the level design is kinda interesting because it's open and gives you a lot of nooks and crannies to explore. Not that there's much in there gameplay-wise, but for me it was kinda fun to just look at the locations. I also enjoyed the graphics, even though they're like 3-4 years behind.

When I was a kid, I played the demo of this, and I clearly remember it having an infrared mode or something like that, and it made a great impression on me. However, playing it now, I couldn't find it. I pressed all the buttons, and it just doesn't seem to be there. Maybe it's something you unlock later, but was just placed in the demo for demonstration purposes, demos do that sometimes.

The thing I most hated about this game is just how slow you are. And I get that Robocop is meant to be slow, but then why structure levels and gameplay in such a way where that becomes a nuisance? Like, the least you could do is provide us with a map or a compass, to reduce the amount of backtracking you have to do. I only played the first two levels (didn't complete the second), and I must've spent at least 30 minutes backtracking and trying to figure out where I'm supposed to go. Thankfully, the locations don't all look the same, so you can usually memorize where you've already been, but, when you don't know where you have to go, you still end up wandering around a lot.

There's honestly not much more to be said about this game, it's super basic, which isn't really a problem, but for a basic game, it's not even that good. I've definitely played much worse shooters, but for 2003 this is just so behind the competition. Still, at least it kept me curious for almost 2 hours, which is more than can be said about a lot of more advanced and acclaimed games.
