When I first grabbed this, I was expecting a call of duty/splinter cell mix, a combo of stealth and fps combat. What came out was a painfully linear FPS that tries in vain to be a stealth shooter. Following the supposed exploits of the founder of SEAL team 6, you're dropped into North Korea to obtain information on a missile program being run by the DPRK. After your team is wiped out, you carry on by attempting to depopulate a small city with your knife and silenced pistol.

Graphics are barely tolerable. While the motif is captured nicely, and the ongoing day makes it almost feel like an episode of 24, so little was attempted with regards to graphics, which still manage to have a plethora of clipping issues and poor lighting effects. Detail is also substandard, and should have been a crown jewel given how small scope the levels are.

Audio is a combination of swears, slamming the officer corps, and whining about who's snafu the current issue is caused by. While this doggerel could have been saved by some switch up in tone or direction, I never came across one.

Gameplay is boiled down to stealth kill as many as you can, then do cover to cover combat to kill everyone else. The stealth aspect is awful, and your radar makes little if no sense for being essentially a SOLITON from metal gear. There's little else to mention, apart from vulturing every thing the enemies drop.

Overall, this was a colossal let down. Had it had more of a mission to mission feel, it probably would've turned out okay, but they apparently wanted a main character who spits nails and bleeds raw masculinity. Even this wouldn't have completely butchered the game if they hadn't made the character one dimensional to the point that you wouldn't be surprised if all of his lines devolved into "thog smash stinky gooks." Multiplayer is also a vestigal failure, with abysmal setup, uninteresting maps, and the classic problem of trying to find people who know the map better than you.

This was fine at the beginning, but basically all you do is shoot at the enemy while Mr. Marcinko constantly comments with the same stupid phrases throughout the entire time. Great if you just want to "shoot 'em up" and curse like a drunkin sailor - but other than that, i am sure there are other games more challenging. Oh well, i gave it a chance .. Can always trade it in !!! Hope others enjoy it more than we did.

I just rented and beat this game. Its worth a rental but not worth buying until it is very cheap. The graphics look like a game that came out 2 or 3 years ago. And you can beat it in about 4 hours or less. This game is fun to play and can be played more than once with getting sick of it. It has some easy 360 achievments but dont expect to get all 1000 easy. I would give this game a 5/10. Just remember not every game can be a 10. I dont think it has co-op which it should have to make it funner. But it really wouldnt be rogue warrior with two people playing. It does feel like something is missing. There are no items laying around to pick up which would have lengthened the game. No, money, cards, gun parts, dog tags, pieces of paper etc.

I waited a LONG time for this game to finally be released, thinking it was going to be a fantastic game. WELL, it certainly had the potential for being a great game, but, fell short. The folks that designed the game should really be ashamed at what they put out. VERY shaky graphics....Graphics you would expect to see on PS1 or PS2...

I was expecting a really serious military game, with a killer plot/story, awesome graphics, etc....

Complete bummer of a game...

I like games. I play a lot and buy a lot. But I think it's helpful for people to know what games I like before I tell them why I dislike this one.

Metal Gear

Infamous

Borderlands

God of War (PS2)

Ico

Demon Souls (unique, though long)

Anything from SquareSoft, pretty much

Games that are unique, or have a good story. To me, this is neither.

I can handle a certain amount of cursing in a game, but this game takes it way overboard. Everything Dick Marcinko does in this game causes him to shout out an expletive. Ridiculous. It's overused and gets old very quickly.

The graphics are not very good. I feel like I'm playing a PS2 game. Really. Remember the graphics and feel of Metal Gear? Nope. None of that here.

All in all, I'd save my money if I were you and invest in another game.

Now I have to go back to try and beat it so I don't feel like I wasted my money. Nice.

Why do they do this we are in the PS3 era not Nintendo 64 era...and who ever created Rogue Warrior have some Nerves and the Audacity to put a $55 price Tag...some nerves.

• from

I bought this based on a couple cool still shots from the game and the fact that Mickey Rourke was voicing the main character. What a piece of garbage this game is. I honestly can't believe a game like this got put into production. Zero skills required. Zero fun. Zero playability. This game is wretched trash. Don't even rent it. Don't even read another review on it cause this game isn't worth any more of your time.

• from

this is a terrible game. horrible graphics audio gamplay everything was cheaply done just do you self a favor ddont buy it i hope bethesda loses a lot of money or fires any one associated with making and relasing this game its that bad!!!!!!!

• from

This game could have been more, seemed rushed. The over story line was too short. Got every achievement possible with a matter of 6 hours (minus the online game play ones) Even if you beat the game on its hardest difficulty you still have to play it two more times if you even want those achievements. I don't recommend this at all.

• from

There is nothing and i mean nothing about spending your hard earned cash for this game. Things like the lack of great graphics, a bad plot make this game seem like it was rushed to market. All the powers that be should be FIRED. I cannot get my money back, i warn you do not spend one thin DIME on this crap. P.S ZERO STARS.

I don't know if you guys have heard of a little game called Rogue Warrior for Xbox 360 and PS3, but it's gotta be the worst game of this generation. Certainly the worst I've ever played. I'm not just talking about the critics here. I'm talking about how the gamers felt. Hello Kitty Island Adventure scored even higher than this game. Yes, the critics such as IGN gave the game a 1.5/10... the worse this generation. But as a gamer, I give it a 0.5 out of 10. Why? The 0.5 goes toward the end credits sequence. It's actually so terrible, it's good. But truth be told, Rebellion just doesn't care. Rogue Warrior took 2 hours to beat, and cost $59.99. Retail value for a game that's broke. The AI was so bad, I can't even describe it. And it had such a strange weapons system... you could shoot a guy from 4 feet away, but the computer automatically randomized your hit/miss ratio, so you may get a headshot or may not. It's not about accuracy, it randomly generates a hit/miss ratio. I hit a guy from 50 meters away, but missed him with the gun pointed straight at his head. I'm telling you, after that experience I do not trust Rebellion.

For the sake of not getting robbed, do not purchase this game. I used to respect Bethesda... until they published this game.

Everything about this game is bad the audio, graphics, and the story. How many games is Bethesda going to release on the ps3 before people stop buying what they publish (I rented it)? Fallout 3 Goty is garbage the regular edition isn't that far behind it. Save your money when this game is ninety nine cents gift it to someone you hate. I'd explain the story but its absolute drivel. Graphics wise the third party developers can do better than this Dead Space puts this to shame, and is a great example. Like I said please save your money even if you want it just for the trophies don't bother (renting it should be a sin, I wish I'd never played it). Mickey Rourke is the only redeeming part about it until you here the relentless obscenities leaving his mouth, I thought I'd have to wash my ears out with soap after 10 minutes.

Like the other reviewer stated the kill moves are what this game is designed around and it looks pathetic. You can polish a piece of junk as much as you want but at the end of the day it is what it is JUNK. Stay away even if you have sixty bucks to spare.

Remember back in the 90's when every celebrity had to have a video game? From Tim Allen's Power Tool Pursuit to Shaq-Fu, these games sucked and obviously tried to bank on the celebrity status to move the games to the fans. That is what Rouge Warrior is like, a retro dollar bin game coded by first year computer science interns.

I was looking forward to this game. I liked most of the Rogue Warrior series (When Dick wrote with John Weisman) and Bethesda Games are normally top notch. But this one slipped though the creative QA process. Here are a few of my observations; The enemies are stupid. Their backs are turned most of the time and I can clomp up to them (no stealth) and do a kill move which is a cut scene to a poor graphic close up shot. There is no health status bar, no character development, the weapon action is just sad. I can shoot someone with a silenced .45 @ 50 yards and score a one shot kill yet I can empty a nearly a full clip into an enemy in the same room and they are still standing. Oh and grenades? Yeah they do not work hardly at all.

Bottom line: Man does this game suck. Certainly gets my vote for the worst of 2009. I would only buy this if:

- You like Demo Dick so much, that you have to have everything with his name on it

- You collect crappy games and this would look great next to Outpost

- You like to hear folks say the F word because although Rogue Warrior is a crappy game with the controls and playability of a Tofu sword, Demo Dick has to cuss alot to show that he does not listen to orders and is his own one man A Team without the cool van.

Then I would buy it used, since you can guarantee a used disk will not be played much...

Ok, first off...It's a MATURE GAME...so yes...there will be curse words! lol

Second...OMG...I beat it in about 2 hours. I rented it, thank god! However, I still feel like I wasted my money just doing that.

Could've been a good game.....but like I said....2 hours!!! I couldn't believe it when the credits came up!!!

• from

this game is garbage. First of all the first scene where his team is fragged is terrible I rather have had them shot themselves because they were in this trash game. Two more things what the **** is with the extensive swearing he like goes out of his way to swear after every kill and during every cutscene. And my last point is what is the multiplayer and how do I ever get the terrible image of how bad it is out of my head. For the love of whoever you worship do not buy this game.
