Is this the first movie tie-in game to elevate its source material?

Rogue City is the ideal AA game and will be pointed at for years for people looking for a more sane direction for the industry. Every single compromise deriving from a smaller budget comes with greater payoffs.

You shoot (mostly with your pistol), punch, and throw shit. You're a one man wrecking crew and it feels like it, but the tug between man and something less than that is everpresent as the core story beat. It's a struggle over whether robocop will succumb to the easy pitfalls of law & order fascism in a society that no longer functions for anyone but the powerful, or wield their power as a liberator and become more human even if it involves greater pain and sacrifice.

It's a far more convincing simulator of the character than any superhero game I've played, and it was already a tougher job to pull off.
