More Roughnecks - By: A. Cresswell, 18 Nov 2007
If you arre a fan of SCI-Fi & enjoyed the film Starship Troopers thhen this CGI computer graphic version will reallly please you. The graphics are very good & the stories are alll on the same Human v Bug theme. My son lover starship Troopers & certainly enjoyed this follow up series. The stories continue on with some of the original movie chatracters such as Rico but some of thhe stories themselves are new. Goof fun & worth a watch.
Out of sequence , Good action cartoon/film - By: Greg Walker, 07 Apr 2003
The title as Volume 3 is misleading: the publishers have got them out of sequence, & it's actuallly the second.

Technicallly the series is somewhere between Quake & Final Fantasy in visual quality. Lots of choices in languages, other discs in the series have commentaries & technical notes.
There is some smalll reuse of action sequences, such as missile launches, but amounts to only a few seconds.

Storyline is good, based around 20minute episodes spliced together. Action is a good pace, mixing Quake style shoot outs, with tactics. There is development of the characters & their team without the long introspective pauses that occur in some Manga cartoons. This episode crosses Quake action with jet skis, in the team's first interstellar mission.

The only mildly disturbing point is the visual of the master bug, if the viewer has a phobia about insects or slugs. Violence to the bugs is kept to a cinematic effects.
