    The co-op is a nice topping on a delicious slice of retro action – but you might still feel hungry afterwards.

    Say explosions. Say big guns. Say over the top kick-ass action. Say Renegade Ops. The top-down vehicle-based shooter puts a smile on your face if you grew up watching the action films from the 1980s. Havoc, destruction and mayhem – renegade operations have never been this entertaining before. [Feb 2012]

    Substantial portion of this fast paced action comes with great technical performance and offers an enjoyable 4-man cooperative mode. Main campaign would deserve longer duration though. [Christmas 2011]

    A bit outdated and a simple shooter game, bringing a few hours of an entertaining, action ride though. Still, there is a need for this type of game!

    This game is just fantastic FUN without a lot of commitment required, but there are perks for those who are. I have three minor beefs that make this game a 9 instead of a 10. 1. You cannot rebind the keys. 2. It crashes from time to time. 3. Even if you adjust the master volume, the in-game voice acting volume remains the same as the windows volume (fail). Otherwise, this is excellent. Expand
  2. Good old arcade shooter with amazing controls if you have a controller. Its a 9 game but being too short makes it 8. It has amazing visuals and nice coop mode so if you are looking for couch coop and you have controllers for everyone this is your game! Expand
  3. Not for the epileptic or faint of heart; Renegade Ops is a game full of bright flashes, explosions and pretty much non-stop action with a story-line delivered in comic strip-style that will bring about a few chuckles and laughs. It is best played with 3 or more friends and although the game suggests that you use an Xbox controller, skilled keyboard- and mouse-users should be just fine. The reason the game suggests an Xbox controller is because the developers decided, probably while dreaming off about marrying his Xbox, to improperly implement vehicle steering with the keyboard. The helicopter, that you get to fly from time to time, works in the fashion you're used to (A for left, D for right, W for forward and S for reverse) but the car steers in a very odd manner which causes you to constantly have to rethink the controls. The game would have easily scored an 8 or a 9 if it hadn't been for this completely retarded design decision. It's also the games only flaw, other than that it's great fun leveling your character, blowing stuff up and bumping your friends off the road and into a ravine and if the game is too easy for you on "regular" you'll be pleasantly surprised with the "hardcore" difficulty. An absolute recommendation for any one who always thought Micro Machines would be a lot better if they came with Micro Guns. Expand
  4. when set to easy i would expect it to be easy and not start a time to finish the mission which you cant beat way to frustrating to not make it after a 100 try and you cant figure out how to beat that lvl so i give it a 2 the price is right for it nice shooter but it gets boring real quick if you cant beat it on easy lvl the controls are hard enough as it is Expand
