After witnessing theOn the war-torn, poisoned atmosphere of Nu Earth, Rogue Trooper is a genetic infantryman, one of an elite squad of biologically-engineered clone troops, created to overcome the planet's hostile atmosphere, unhindered in their fight against the enemy, the Nort Republic. After witnessing the betrayal and annihilation of his squad at the Quartz Zone Massacre, Rogue has gone AWOL, determined to hunt down the traitor who sent his brothers-in-arms to their deaths. Armed with the latest experimental weapons, Rogue's arsenal offers him a critical advantage over his opponents; encoded bio-chips containing the digitised personalities of his fallen comrades are stored in his gun, helmet and backpack, each offering their unique expertise and assistance, allowing Rogue to strategically outwit a sophisticated enemy. The game is a mix of intense 3rd person action and next generation stealth elements, with complex line-of-sight AI, multiple game paths, full tactical use of your bio-chip operated equipment and both single- and multiplayer online gameplay.

    Rogue Trooper is so confident in what it's trying to do that it's a wonder Rebellion hasn't been able to pull this off before. The world is amazingly well throught-out, and the action just feels polished.

    Rogue's greatest asset is its variety, which constantly refreshes the experience before that "new game" smell wears off. [June 2006, p.93]

    With a price tag of just $30, this should be a no-brainer for anyone interested in the genre. Rogue Trooper may not do anything staggeringly new, but it combines action, shooting, stealth, and exploration elements successfully and is well worth a look.

    A thoroughly enjoyable third person shooter that has a varied single player mode, and a title that, despite the low hype, is definitely worth trying out. Being a lonesome soldier hasn’t been this fun in a third person shooter for a long time.

    The graphics are functional when it comes to the large playing areas but exemplary when it comes to the rather bone-crunching despatching of the opposition.

    Rogue Trooper is at times a very exciting and enjoyable shooter, which makes it all the more disappointing that it's over so soon.

    Feels more like basic training than hard-core warfare.

As the controls are great in my opinion, I don't see the point of critique that Gamespot has. I also love the imaginative and colourful alien setting and the fact, that it doesn't display real soldiers but a comic book which is seemingly critically to militarism, as it depicts war as stupid with no side more evil than the other. Non of the less there is a lot of fun in this great action cover shooter military style game. A real hidden gem!… Expand

The ingenious ways to interact with your equipment really make the game. There's no right or wrong way to deploy them and the levels are suitably expansive enough to avoid feeling like you're being channel along a linear plot. The graphics are great too and really pay homage to the original comics the character orginates from. There are some moments where the controls are a little fiddly but ultimately, the careful pacing of the game and learning curve make this a great investment. Recommended.… Expand

    One of the best budget releases for the PS2. The graphics, while not the best, get the job done well and keep the look of the comics. One of the best budget releases for the PS2. The graphics, while not the best, get the job done well and keep the look of the comics. Gameplay is satisfying, and the controls are (for the most part) fairly intuitive. The only real gripe is the length of the game, but for 20 bucks, you wouldn't expect to get a Final Fantasy lengths game.… Expand

    In the first minutes its a wonderful time of fun and nice presentation of action though , after that it get monotone and repetitive.

Rogue Trooper will be forgiving for those that enjoyed, but in my case is hidden in the shadows and never to appear in my memories. Oh yeah, you've seen Avatar, well this is has similarities just give those freaks guns and there you have it.… Expand
