Spending so much time shooting slimeballs isn’t a bad thing at all, though, as Rogue City’s responsive and weighty gunplay makes you feel just as powerful as Alex Murphy. Just like cops nowadays, Robo is a shoot-first-ask-questions-later kind of guy, which means that pretty much every situation is resolved with a firefight, whether it’s a trip to the video store with a friend or helping an old lady find her cat. When you’re not musing over whether RoboCop should be treated as a human, you’ll spend most of your time in Rogue City shooting the ever-loving shit out of anyone that crosses your path. It’s one of the best looks at the actual character of RoboCop we’ve seen since the original film. We still get to see him call criminals “slime” and “dirtbag”, but we also get a more in-depth look at his personality and struggles through psychological evaluations and malfunctions that dive into his past. As funny as he is, Rogue City understands that he’s also a tragic and complicated figure who’s stuck between a man and a machine. Peter Weller does a fantastic job returning to the iconic iron nappy, perfectly recapturing Robo’s mix of badass catchphrases and accidental monotone hilarity.
