Summary: The Best of the All!
Review: After viewing all 4 DVDs, I think this one is the best! The animation just gets better and better. Absolutely fantastic. Excellent action sequences, fluid motion, great effects, cool weapons. I finally got to see alot more of what I was lookin' for - the Marauder suits in action. Plenty of that on this disk!As always, very good voice acting brings the well done scripts to life. The plot developments add new depth to the characters and their relationships. If you view the disks in order - Pluto, Hydora, Tophet, then Tesca, you can really appreciate the development of these characters, and the story that is unfolding. Can't wait for the next two disks due out in May. If you're thinking of going whole hog and intend to buy all four DVDs at once, then make sure you watch them in their "proper" order. You won't regret it. If you just want to try a single one out, then decide if you like it, I'd recommend Tesca or Tophet. They're all good, Pluto and Hydora too. The issue with Hydora is that because it's a water planet, and doing convincing CGI animation of water is terribly difficult to do, the visuals aren't quite as engaging as the other campaigns. Might as well judge the series by its best work. Enjoy!

Summary: Tesca Nemerosa
Review: Basicaly, anyone who's seen 'Roughnecks' will tell you it's an epic that was thrown into the 'Childeren's Cartoon' category. The Tesca Campaign proves this. Razak's Roughnecks have been transfered to the lush, jungle moon Tesca Nemerosa, which has been designated the bread basket of the Bug forces. The squad is still recovering from the loss of their squadmate Carl Jenkins when they are asigned a new trooper: Private T'Phai. Now the squad must not only fight without Carl, they have to fight beside the 'Skinnie' who they believe was the cause of Carl's hospitalization. New threats, new bugs, and close calls await the Roughnecks, but that's nothing compared to what awaits one of them, and he may not survive it..... One of the most popular story archs in Roughnecks, the Tesca Campaign is a must-buy for any fan of the show.

Summary: Roughnecks-The Starshop Troopers Chronicles series
Review: I watched the whole series on tv and on dvd and I liked all of it. However the dvd series is missing some vital episodes that was shown on tv that is not in the dvd series. One of them is a segment of episodes that they are stranded on an astreoid, Zander is sick from a strange virus, the firefryes on the asteroid, and realizing that the asteroid is in reality a bug in a dorment statious. Not to mention an episode that they look for the queen that is on a transport but on it's way to Terran that is supposed to be last episode in the Klendathue Campain. You see there are some episodes that are not on dvd that are suposed to be with the series that are not with it. I would also like to know when the grand fanally of the series is going to come up in who is going to win the war between the bugs and the Roughnecks. now that is a fanally I want to see.

Summary: We get to see the armor suits in this one!
Review: In the movie I was dissapointed that the armor suits were not part of the movie. It would have been too expensive to produce and the movie would have been impossible to make. Not so in this series. The action is intense and for any fan of the movie.... it's better!

Summary: Best quality CG for a series ever!
Review: Roughnecks Vol 2 Is an incredibly good value disc. It consists of 5 episodes connected together to form a feature length, top quality CG fest. The action shifts to the jungle planet of Tesca. Realistic natural scenery and some cool new bugs feature, but a new crew member is introduced, while another is missing - this causes confusion because the disc completely skips a chunk of episodes based of other planets, and introducing the 'skinnies' race, and other plotlines.
Definately worth getting, but they could do with sorting out the continuity errors by releasing the discs in sequence!

Summary: BUGS!! BUGS!! BUGS!!
Review: Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers is an animation show based upon the novel by Robert A. Heinlein that incorporates many of the elements from the novel as well as the 1997 movie, Starship Troopers. The show is brought to you by Sony/Tristar Television , with the production being done by Foundation Imaging, Flat Earth Productions, Rainbow Studios and HyperImage. Roughnecks is completely done with computer generated images. Fully, CGI animation shows are not new, but Roughnecks pushes the envelope and has elevated the medium to lofty heights so far not seen on the small screen. Roughnecks follows the exploits of Razack's Roughnecks, a squad of Mobile Infantrymen deployed to the far reaches of space to combat the bug threat. I LOVE THIS STUFF! AS YOU CAN SEE. IT GETS ME VERY WORKED UP. IM ADDICTED TO ROUGHNECKS. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO! THE STORY IS CAPTIVATING! THE ACTION IS INTENSE! THE SOUNDTRACK ROCKS! I NEED MORE! MORE MORE MORE! BUY THIS DVD, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! IM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT EVERY TIME I WATCH ROUGHNECKS! AND WHEN IT ENDS, I JUST HIT REWIND AND WATCH IT AGAIN!... Sales of the first Roughnecks DVD had been brisk enough to allow the release of the Tesca Campaign in September. Only a couple months ago, Sony also gave the green light to the release of two more DVDs, Hydora and Tophet. Episodes 1 though 20 will be released. In addition these new DVDs would have plenty of extras. Cast photos and bios as well as lots of concept art would be included on the new releases. The Tesca arc will have a director's commentary track, and the next two DVDs will have director and CGI director commentary on the disc.

Summary: Good entertainment, great commentary
Review: The Roughnecks series is a decent compromise between Heinlein's original stories and Verhoeven's warped distortion of it. (Indeed, in flashback, there's quite a bit almost directly from Heinlein.) The animation is good, and for a "cartoon" the storyline is quite mature. What makes this disc stand out is the very fine commentary track. I learned a lot about the writing, about CGI, about doing "childrens shows" ... it's worth investing the extra time after watching the movie first. I'm tickled pink that the rest of the series will be coming out.
