There was a 2005 first-person shooter released by Empire called -ever
so imaginatively- "Starship Troopers". It... wasn't very good. The
level design was humdrum, it took too long to put down even low-level
enemies, and the overall design was just poor.

So, just like the first movie.  :P

Honestly, I enjoyed the movie more. At least it had the novelty of its
designs to keep it afloat. But ever since Verhoeven, every Starship
Trooper license has re-used his bugs and - while they're cool looking
and all -- it's getting a bit tired to see the same bad guys over and
over again.
