From Amazon.co.uk

Inspired by Robert Heinlein's pulp classic and executive-produced by Paul Verhoeven, who made the big-screen version, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is cutting-edge TV animation that's more for grown-ups than kids. The neat equipment, combat suits and weapons are as deadly as they are cool, and even though the extreme gore and violence of the movie has been toned down, the endless threat from all manner of nasty bugs is still pretty terrifying. Five roughly 20-minute episodes are spliced together into a movie-length feature, which makes for a satisfyingly lengthy story arc instead of the more usual self-contained individual episodes. Like all good war stories, at its heart Roughnecks celebrates that Band of Brothers-style bonding in extreme circumstances, which we viewers can only experience vicariously. --Mark Walker

Product Description

More computer-generated adventures with Rico and his Roughnecks. When intelligence reports suggest that the bugs might be planning to attack San Francisco, the Roughnecks begin preparing to enter into combat on their own planet. Will they be able to repel the insect threat and also avoid hurting any civilians in the crossfire?

5.0 out of 5 stars Roughnecks ST continues to please..... 28 Sep 2003
By John
Format:DVD
This is the final DVD of the Roughnecks Chronicles althought one of the campaigns "The Zephyr Campaign" has yet to be released in region 2.

This Campaign is set on Earth with the Sicon forces arriving home thinking that they have destroyed the Bug Queen who was on her way to destroy Earth.

Of course the Bug Queen hasn't been destroyed and it's up to the Roughnecks and the other MI units to stop the bugs from spreading to the large cities and to try and and wipe out this latest infestation.

The troopers also have to deal with the loss of one of there own (I won't say who) and the new Infiltrator Bugs who can take the apperance of humans and are great spies.

The only downside is the ending (of lack thereoff) with the final episodes never being made.

This DVD is for all Roughneck fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roughnecks Continued.... 18 Nov 2007
By A. Cresswell TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
If you arre a fan of SCI-Fi and enjoyed the film Starship Troopers thhen this CGI computer graphic version will really please you. The graphics are very good and the stories are all on the same Human v Bug theme. My son lover starship Troopers and 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 and worth a watch.
