Roughnecks was surprisingly good, even if it was dumbed down to make

Speaking of action games, were there any Starship Troopers ACTION games?

 Yes.
 There was a 2005 first-person shooter released by Empire called -ever

level design was humdrum, it took too long to put down even low-level
enemies, and the overall design was just poor.
