Heinlein would love this! [Posted on 2008-04-26]
This is by far my favorite TV science fiction series. I enjoy Star Trek, Babylon 5, Stargate SG1 & Atlantis, and Space: Above and Beyond(which is similar to Roughnecks). I was completely unaware of Roughnecks until I discovered it at [...]., and I bought it based on the reviews at Amazon. I was not disappointed. I have read "Starship Troopers" about five times, and although this is not an exact copy of the novel, I loved it. I'm certain the author, Mr. Heinlein, would be pleased with this interpretation of his classic novel. The stories are exciting and unpredictable. The computer graphics are stunning, almost 3D. A few scenes in the early episodes contain jerky movement, but this is the exception and not the rule. Later episodes are so fluid that you forget it's animated. And the acting is excellent. The series has been combined into campaigns of five episodes each which play like a movie. The bonus episodes contain a lot of flashbacks to previous episodes and contain only minimal new material.

I don't recommend this series for children under the age of 10. It would have given me nightmares at that age.

My only disappointment with Roughnecks is that there isn't any more! The show was cancelled after a spine tingling cliff hanger. In frustration, I had to outline my own set of five concluding episodes. If only we could convince Paul Verhoeven to produce a concluding set of episodes for DVD release! Online petition anyone? Roughnecks, HO!

Great package [Posted on 2008-08-04]
I saw one show early one morning befor work and really enjoyed the story. I then saw the series on sail and searched for the whole set. The Complete Campaigns is a great value. If you liked the Starship Troopers then this is a must have.

Warning: NOT COMPLETE CAMPAIGN!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-04]
Love the series but just because it leaves you hanging at the end of this supposedly COMPLETE campaign series it gets 1 star, i would give it zero stars if permitted. The title of this set is VERY MISLEADING, it is not complete & leaves you hanging at the end, VERY DISAPPOINTING!! This should fall under the category of false advertisement. I don't recommend this series because it is not complete as it says. Schroeder (DJ WACK "O") (Publisher/Owner) of Cult Movies Magazine.

Really interesting story and plot, lots of action every episode

Keeps your attention

Conclusion: If you love Sci-Fi or action, get this!

TV execs are idiots [Posted on 2008-10-06]
This series was so well done and so far and away better than the
movie that it was patterned after as to be not even associated with that awful film. Not at all like the original Robert A. Heinlein novel but I loved it all the same. This series was excellently written, tremendously well acted and the animation was quite decent. I wish this series had never went off the air. Once again, it shows how TV execs know nothing about brilliance because only a moron would let a series this good get away from them.
