    In so many ways, on many levels, Renegade Ops is one of the most refreshingly enthusiastic action games of the year.

    A fast, furious shooter, packed with high-quality detail - all at a knock-down price. [Dec 2011, p.79]
  3. In this top-down twin-stick shooter everything, from tanks to trains, has to be destroyed. And you know what? As simple as that may sound, it is a lot of fun. [Nov 2011, p.96]
  4. Buttery-slick controls. [Dec 2011, p.91]

  1. Renegade Ops is a brilliant arcade blast coming from Sega nice overhead shooter that is simple fast and frantic gameplay blasting everything in site, rarely does a game get this mix just right. 4 playable characters each with a unique ability for their vehicle, upgrades can be bought and equipped through leveling up like health regeneration, extra ammo for secondary weapons etc. The online play works quite nicely with 4 player co-op play with plenty of primary and secondary objectives to complete with rhe primary ones you usually get a 3 minute timer if you start dawdling around too much, fail these and its game over.There are different vehicles to use apart from the vehicle you start with which are obtained further on in a mission so a there are score multipliers damage and killsreak, these have a gauge that depletes when not in combat so keep these going to level up faster. Point scoring is a big thing in this game which you can boost by rescuing prisoners taking as little damage as possible and keeping the score multipliers as high and as long as possible which are scored at the end of a mission and a rating given which range from poor to alien. Secondary weapons come in the form of missiles, rockets flamethrower and rail gun you'll find all very effective in the art of destruction as well as the the machine gun you have mounted you can get this upgraded for a bit of extra punch.the only niggles this game has is not many up grades for the guns and upgrades are pretty much the same for all but prioritised differently not really that varied.This game in short is Metal Slug but overhead, to put it simply if you loved Metal Slug than you will love this.

  2. Awesome fun! Reminds me of Desert Strike, a true pick up and play action title :)
    Nice selection of characters, each with a unique weapon of c
    hoice and the levels are beautifully crafted and diverse... get the trial and enjoy the fun :) Expand
  3. Great little game, it was a pleasant surprise. Aside from the good looks, it sounds good and plays even better... Especially good when played co-op! Highly recommended! Expand
  4. Bought this game plus the bundle for $18. Horrible mistake on my part. It is an entertaining game for the first 2 hours then is just plain repititive and boring. Anyone looking for a top down twin stick shooter could get either a better bang for their buck on PSN or could buy COD black ops for about $20 and play the unlockable zombie arcade. I would give this game a little higher score if it were cheaper but $15 for a short 3 hour campaign with little variety is a rip off. Unless you're a huge fan of top down shooters (which i am) DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Expand
