Rogue Warrior

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.

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.

With lackluster multiplayer offerings and one of the shortest singleplayer campaigns in recent memory, Rogue Warrior is a smudge on Bethesda’s otherwise stellar record.

Really, only the control is a possible saving grace but that’s not enough to compensate for the tremendously bad presentation, design, style, and overall gameplay.

Only a budget price could've saved this complete disaster. Rogue Warrior is a joke, bad tasty and expensive. Leave it on the shelves, unless Dick Marcinko is your guru.

None of this will ever be worth $50. [Feb 2010, p.81]

Rogue Warrior isn't a complete fiasco. We tried to like it, but it just wasn't worth releasing. [Feb 2010, p.73]

Rogue Warrior is an amazingly bad videogame. Short, ugly and bland, this game is a new example of the uninspired character of the last Rebellion projects.

Total f*cking garbage, as the right honourable Dick would (probably) say. [Feb 2010, p.93]

Rogue Warrior isn't simply dumbed-down in its final incarnation -- it's just plain dumb.

Though the game really tries for the over the top action of a summer blockbuster, it never comes close to that level of satisfaction. The gunplay feels like a chunky afterthought, and a cover system that very nearly causes more harm than good doesn’t help either.

To paraphrase a classic Futurama line 'the only thing Rouge Warrior does better than other games is suck'.

Almost everything in this game seems unfinished. The graphics are halfway done and the controls aren't working well. Besides that the game is very buggy and it takes only two hours to finish. So 60 euros is way too much for this title, but even in the discount the game would be too expensive.

Rogue Warrior is a complete disaster, a terrible game that fails in almost everything. Avoid at all costs, as it's not even worth a rental.

Should you even think about renting it for a laugh? To quote Dick Marcinko: "F*ck no." [Feb 2010, p.107]

This game is the worst PlayStation 3 game of all time. The gameplay is repetitive, linear, boring and too short. You can play through the whole single-player in one hour and the multiplayer is bad too. The graphics are that bad, that even a PS2 title is better and the audio is also bad. It’s a shame Bethesda has published this game; no one must buy this one.

Completely bankrupt of any value whatsoever.

It’s short, repetitive, and crappy all the way through.

In condemning this game, I can't help but feel like an opportunistic hunter pouncing on the most pathetic zebra in the herd. But Rogue Warrior is a hobbled, wheezing creature stumbling around so far away from its peers that not going for the jugular could be seen as an act of cruelty.
