  • Summary: Rogue Warrior is a character-driven, first-person-shooter, featuring Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko's explosive personality in an action-packed single player campaign, and intense multiplayer combat. Playing as Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko, you go behind the iron curtain to disrupt a suspected North Korean ballistic missile program. Soon into the mission, you uncover a conspiracy that could turn the tides of the Cold War in the communists' favor. You must then take the mission into your own hands as you enter into the bowels of the USSR to destroy a technology that could change the balance of geopolitical power, leaving a trail of destruction in your wake!

  1. Rogue Warrior was a lot of fun even though it's got a lot of miscellaneous problems and shortcomings.
  2. You have to wonder how something like this makes its way onto shelves as a full-priced product. Though there's some sort of ironic fun to be had by cruising through the short campaign and listening to Mickey Rourke shout obscenities, it's practically impossible to wring $60 of excitement out of this disc.
  3. Even if you’re a tremendous fan of Marcinko and love his books, rent this one before you spend your hard-earned cash. The season is too full of top-notch games and excellent DLC for you to spend your cash on this stinker.
  4. For a while you can still save the voice of Mickey Rourke, but only by the initial moment, because from there’s nothing more to pick up.

    I really don't understand. There's a useless rage against this game. It's not extraordinary, but does his duty admirably. In my opinion is a bit boring, but it's still fun. My vote is very high severity delegated to balance other reviews. Expand
  2. Fun in a so bad its good way. Nothing special.
  3. How did the developers get away with this. Honestly, the worst game of the year possibly. Personally, as a fan of the genre, I actually found some redeeming qualities in this game. The single player is fun if your only interest is killing nonsensical enemies for trophies. As a quick Platinum this game is recommended. Bear in mind you'll also need three or four willing helpers for the online trophies since NOBODY goes on the online. Aside from mindlessly easy trophies this game is good for nothing. The graphics aren't a next gen standard and at best it reminds me of one of the 2005 Xbox 360 games, or a late PS2 game. Absolutely no innovation in this game at all, and although it's based on the autobiography of 'Demo Dick', they seem to suck all emotion and character development out of the story with horrible cutscenes and terrible timing and script writing. If your a fan of a sadistic level of vulgarity or want an easy platinum then possibly rent it. If you see it for below 99p anywhere, your purchase will be justified. Expand

    Literally an abomination. Now for an actual review. Presentation: ...Unfinished. It doesn't look good. In fact, it looks bad. You can clearly see that the engine was underused, and the polygons are in low count. The animations are terrible, and the only saving grace is the oddly hilarious voice acting of the main character. Story: Nonexistent. Just...no. Gameplay: No recoil...or sound detection...or enemy intelligence. It's supposed to be a stealth game, but the AI is so stupid that you think that they are all mentally impaired. Of course, they were never mentally impaired, as that would imply that they could think at all. I played this game simply to review. It just sucks. Please, save your money unless you want to hear this one liner generator in action. That...and literally NOBODY is playing the multiplayer. Expand
