Like ''VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar'', this is one of those games that gets picky about its hardware; it is designed to run on Windows XP and Windows XP '''only''', though this can be solved using compatiblity mode. And then there's the video card compatibility issue. With some tweaks, this can be solved too, though this results with very, very ''severe'' SpecialEffectFailure in-game.

''Starship Troopers'' is a 2005 video game based on Paul Verhoeven's ([[InNameOnly not-so]]) [[Film/StarshipTroopers adaptation]] of [[Literature/StarshipTroopers Robert A. Heinlein's novel]].
Five years after the movie, the Arachnids have taken over the planet of Hesperus, and [[ItsUpToYou it's up]] to the player, Marauder 06, to help the Mobile Infantry retake the planet. Along the way players will fight against many castes of Arachnids, from both the movie and the [[WesternAnimation/RoughnecksStarshipTroopersChronicles TV series]].
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: Like in the movie and the marines from the [[AlienVsPredator AvP]] games, expect your fellow MI troops to die very quickly. This however, is subverted in a few levels; a few troopers actually survive, but still, they don't help a lot.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The large bugs, such as Tankers, Plasmas, Royal Warriors, etc. This is the only way to kill said bugs. Even worse, the only way to hit said weak points are using Morita rifles or railguns.
* Badass: The player, Commander Harris (the player's commander), and possibly a few troopers as well.
* ContinuityNod: A lot of the levels will remind you of the movies' scenes.
* DamageSpongeBoss: The [[PraetorianGuard Royal Warrior]] and the [[spoiler: X-Bug]].
* DeathFromAbove
* DemonicSpiders: The large bugs, again.
* EliteMooks
* FriendlyFireProof: Not even nukes can kill the player's allies, unless it's a scripted event. In this case, the [[spoiler: trooper whose legs got ripped off and [[TakingYouWithMe blew himself up]] in the Bug Hive.]]
* GenderIsNoObject: Zig-zagged. Although female pilots do appear in scripted cutscenes, not to mention female troopers in the FMV cutscenes, all of the MI troops in-game are males.
* GoddamnedBats: Blaster Bugs. They leap very fast and can kill the player in a few plasma blasts.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A lot of already deceased troopers encountered throughout the game are impaled by (also already) dead bugs. Also happens in a few scripted sequences.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: Played straight, unlike in the movie.
* LargeHam: Psi-Ops General Hauser, [[spoiler: especially in Bait]].
