Description:

After chasing the bugs out of the solar system in "The Pluto Campaign," S.I.C.O.N. tracks the enemy's retreat in hopes of finding the invaders' homeworld. Razak's Roughnecks are in the first wave of humans to hit water-dominated Hydora, a refueling planet infested with deadly new armies of alien insects. This second campaign in Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles is packed with whiplash action scenes, but it also ups the ante in a startling manner. Psychic soldier Jenkins gets a shock to the system after a meeting of minds with the Brain Bug: the bugs' final solution is the complete extermination of the human race. As hatched by the show's animators, the fierce dart-spewing ripplers and amphibious water tigers are marvelously sinister-looking things, more "realistic" than the humans. That's a fair tradeoff. The stylized 3-D computer animation makes this look unlike any other high-tech sci-fi TV adventure. --Sean Axmaker
