  1. It's not a bad game: it has its moments, it has several gameplay mechanics, and it has its own personality. But, overall, it's just an average game, with nothing we hadn't seen before, and it's extremely short. Not even the multiplayer makes it worthy.
  2. With all its faults, Rogue Warrior could easily be described as one of the worse FPS on the market. Possibly the worst yet. Its short campaign and tedious multiplayer aren’t in fact capable of assuring a fun and exciting experience, and if we consider its awful visuals, everything seems even worse. One word: forgettable.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. When the difficulty settings are covered with references to b..ches and motherf...ers you know something isn’t right. When, in the opening cutscene, Dick tells us that his two colleagues on this trip have saved his life more times than he can count, we should have known things would turn out bad when they both die from a grenade after having a lingering final look into each other’s eyes. But as soon as Dick opened his mouth, we knew.
  6. To paraphrase a classic Futurama line 'the only thing Rouge Warrior does better than other games is suck'.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fury against this game is exaggerated. Violent and often funny, Rogue Warrior is a game acceptable, is not so low as everyone says. It has major flaws, but overall it can be very rewarding. Expand

    This game, with some of its faults is not that bad! People say it's a disgrace and it's crap, but there are actually worst games This game, with some of its faults is not that bad! People say it's a disgrace and it's crap, but there are actually worst games out there. The graphics, while not Modern Warfare 2 standards, are better than others I have seen( GI Joe,Shellshock 2,etc). Yes the A.I. did have some trouble at points, but even Uncharted 2, one of the most polished games to date , there were time that the A.I. in that game didn't see me when I was right in front of them! They just went about there day. Several times this happened.All I'm saying is that I had fun playing. Yes, it could be better, but putting your knife through the head of someone is just F**king cool! Uncharted though, because it looked so good people just pretend the problems aren't there, but they are. I am a programmer and it does have problems! Just admit it to yourself! Anyone who played the game had to see them. But anyway, I give this game a 6 because it did have flaws, but I still have a blast playing it! Expand

    I cannot stress how bad this game actually is.Its too easy and the graphics are shocking for a game that has been released so late that onlyI cannot stress how bad this game actually is.Its too easy and the graphics are shocking for a game that has been released so late that only presents graphics you would expect on the orginal xbox. the stealth elements of the game are completely warped as you are able to stand right in front of an enemy without them seeing you. How is that possible? there isn't enough variaty and one r odd point that you wouldn,t normally point out is the character is constantly swearing in every sentance which actually gets rather annoying and pointless. If anythings good about this game is the fact that i only rented rather than wasted any of my hard earned cash on it. Very poor indeed! Expand

    Let me start by saying this is proof that Bethesda is far from perfect, as they snatched the Rogue Warrior project from Zombie Studios andLet me start by saying this is proof that Bethesda is far from perfect, as they snatched the Rogue Warrior project from Zombie Studios and handed it over to Rebellion Developments. While there's few early screenshots of gameplay before Bethesda took over, it's apparent that this game was much better in its original phase. Rogue Warrior isn't a stealth game that's built with an action engine, but nor is it an action game built with a stealth game. It fails to be both. Sure, you might admire some of the stealth kills but other than that, it's a poorly designed mess with few creative kills or original plot points. Every ounce of this game is forgettable, and there's no real reason to return to it at all. This game gets controversy on the bad language alone, so you can guess how overrated the rest of this garbage will be.

    If I can't get it into your skull that this is trash, allow me to put it another way: Bethesda said "yes, this WILL be marketable and it WILL be a huge seller!", for that is the role of the publisher. This deserves the flak it gets not because of innexperience but out of laziness. Not recommended in the slightes.
