awesome ranged attacks + littered with bugstreatORtrick2021-07-28Version 1.0

Both playable characters come with ranged weapons, really cool. Robocop wields a minigun. I would have preferred his iconic sidearm and an idle animation that features the holster, but you did the work so no complain about the minigun particularly outside of what a fan would expect from a Robocop mod. Then there's the bugs. This mod is unfinished. Once I was able to pick up a melee weapon with an invisible arm and preceded to dual wield a minigun and pipe simultaneously; I was immediately pulled out. Robocop's jump animation is stiff and looks like an air-crouch. Sum it up, 2/5. The added playable characters are nice if not typical in the current state of SOR2 modding, range attacks are the highlight, stiff animations and unfinished implementation prevents an enjoyable experience. I look forward to an update with these bugs ironed out.

Fun hack with bugsHaniel2021-02-20Version 1.0

This is a fun hack that has some graphical and audio bugs to look out for, but it is recommended because...it is goofy and fun.

1) The Robocop character doesn't have his signature "pistol"; he uses a mini-gun ala Jesse Ventura from Predator. When pressing the B-button, the firing graphic is shown but there is no gunshot sound, only what sounds like a "punch" being thrown. When you hit something, the gunshot sound is heard. Also, the mini gun has the range of the whole screen, which makes this game kinda easy for anything that stays on the ground.

2) Robocop can pick up weapons, but not use them, and he can throw them. However, when picking up a larger weapon, such as a pipe, you can see the pipe waving around behind the character when he walks, which is unrealistic because he is holding the mini-gun with two hands. It looks stupid. But it's Robocop, so shot first and ask questions later.

3) I would have had a different preference for the "grab" moves than what the hacker chose. The "electrical shock" is a little goofy and I would have looked at the computer interface sharp-thing that Murphy used to kill Boddicker in the first movie, but that may have not been possible. The jump animations and jump attacks are strange looking as well, but work.

4) The ED209 character is very buggy. Same audio issue as point #1. And there is something weird about a 140 pound "Signal" throwing a two ton Enforcement Droid with such ease. Weapons are glitched too, where they look like blobs of pixels on the ground. It is still fun to play though.

This hack is nearly ten years old, so unless the hacker updates it or a new one is made. this is the best Robocop style Streets of Rage hack out there, to my knowledge, so it is worth playing a few times.
