    This is probably one of the best games I've ever played, the graphics are top notch, the gunplay is second to none, the rivals that of Battlefield and Gears of War and LOADS of people still play and enjoy it. Bethesda should be given an award for this masterpiece.

    Skyrim has nothing on Rogue Warrior

    A great game. Lots of action right from the start. Very good graphics and game play. The only thing I didn't like was the length of the game. It was over too quick, just as you're really getting into it.

    This game is pretty bad. The gameplay is quite generic, the cover system isn't very pleasant to use,... it's crap. However it has a few redeeming factors. For starters, it's quite short, so you'll finish it long before you lose your patience with it.

For starters, it's quite short, so you'll finish it long before you lose your patience with it. Secondly, it seems like the developers knew how **** this game was so they wrote in the most ridiculous protagonist you can imagine, dropping F-bombs and creative insults like there's no tomorrow. The credits song is a ridiculous "rap" song featuring some of the protagonist's one-liners cut together. Shortly put: this game just doesn't take itself seriously at all.

    If you're gonna pay $50 for this though I'd say don't bother (and I indeed feel sorry for you if you did) but if you can get this for $4 or less I'd say you'll have a few fun hours. I finished it in 2.

    Two hours, twelve minutes. That is how long it took to beat this game, and that's including messing around in the options menus, pausing to disable motion blur, playing on the highest difficulty, and sitting through the credits. If that's not bad enough, consider the 2004 graphics in a 2009 title, nonsense weapon animations, dirt-stupid AI, and the ability to press one button and win aTwo hours, twelve minutes.

    The reason it still gets a 4/10 from me? It still managed to be somewhat fun, in the "I only paid $2.50 for this and I don't care" sense, and hearing the main character yell insults and expletives like a factory churns out its product remained somewhat amusing through the game's short tenure.

    If you can get it for under $5 and/or want a bunch of easy achievements for some reason, it wouldn't hurt too much to pick this up. Otherwise, don't bother. There are better games in the $9.99 price range.

    Rogue warrior is at the low end of Bethesda's collection of games. the game is nothing more than a bad first person shooter, the main character is in desperate need of an anger management class, nearly every single line contains some sort of curse word,he seems to hate everyone around him. he shows this in game by stabbing or shooting everyone and everything. the one aspect of the gameRogue warrior is at the low end of Bethesda's collection of games. the game is nothing more than a bad first person shooter, the main character is in desperate need of an anger management class, nearly every single line contains some sort of curse word,he seems to hate everyone around him. he shows this in game by stabbing or shooting everyone and everything. the one aspect of the game that makes my overall score a 4, is due to funny glitches with the rag-doll physics and the main characters bad temper.

    The bad shooting mechanic, the glitches, bad AI, all of it make the game bad. But the thing that keeps you entertain for 2h30' of the game is the dialouge and all the swearing in the game, makes it hilarious

    Played this long time ago, so I might look through nostalgia goggles now, but this trashy game was kinda fun. Sure, graphics were terrible, story was stupid, but gameplay was kinda fun with over the top kills and ton of swearing. Come to think of it, it was the only redeeming quality of the game.

    Ah, also it runs on potato PCs so if you're up to some trashy old-school fun and you have

    Okay, so it is not the worst game in the world. The graphics make this look like a HL2 mod... the gameplay is so dull, you can pretty much waltz through with the unlimited ammo pistol and never die, and if you did actually make the mistake of buying it, you're $50 poorer (like myself) when you could've spent that same money on something far more entertaining... like an Okay, so it is not the worst game in the world.

    amazing how the creator of SNIPER ELITE along with Bethesda managed to create this shi$#@ mine. the game is buggy there is no stealth and you don't feel any mood to shoot at enemies so poorly done is the behavior of the weapons.
    The only good thing about this game are the executions that are really well done and brutal and the curses that the protagonist lets out every time he kills

    I gave this a 2 cos' when it works i actually had some fun playing it... although the game is so uninspiring in places.... but my problem is that it is so unstable and buggy. It keeps crashing my pc and even stops other programs working!! I am astounded that any gaming studio could release this.... if you pick it up on console for bargain bin prices its worth it, but only then.

    I really tried to give this game the benefit of the doubt despite my instant reaction within the first 5 minutes of playing, but ultimately my initial response to this game remained the same throughout. I was actually happy that it was as short as it was so I could put it down and never play it again. What a waste of my money.

I really wish Steam could give refunds and apologize for selling you absolute crap. I liked the voice-acting by Mr. Rourke, I even liked the way the guns recoiled when using the sights. Add to that that the music was pretty spot on for giving you some energy as you play, but other than the things I just mentioned...A game that could have been something more. I had expected some sort of Splinter Cell"esque" type of title based on the trailers, etc. but I found myself playing a tired game that reminded more of playing Goldeneye on the N64 than any sort of modern game. I'm sure the multiplayer would have been nice, but there is only one problem...There is no one playing it. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. Expand

    I give this a 2, because its only 2 hours of gameplay for a $50.00 price tag. I knew Captain Marcinko and I was very happy to see his fiction series translated to an interactive format, but this game did not deliver on the potentiality of the character or the intellectual property.

I knew Captain Marcinko and I was very happy to see his fiction series translated to an interactive format, but this game did not deliver on the potentiality of the character or the intellectual property. It is quite simply a stain on the face of Bethesda Software and on Richard Marcinko's face as well because while the game isn't exactly bad, you can literally play it over a long lunch break. As semi realistic shooters go, its fairly well done, the AI isn't terrible and the levels and settings are fairly good, but, just as you think you've completed the first tier of missions, and you're about to dive deeper into the story from there, you end up getting a credits screen and the game is over. This game doesn't even do justice to the books, much less the mans life and service to the United States, and its got to be the most unexpectedly horrible release in Bethesda Softworks history, simply due to the gigantic glaring and obvious fact of them dropping the ball with delivering a title that actually delivers engaging shooter game play with an enigmatic character that could have actually delivered at the very least 8 to 10 hours of single player story line...but no, 2 hours, it literally makes Modern Warfare 2 look good by comparison. Overall, a good attempt at a realistic shooter game from Bethsoft, but, falling far short of the mark in regards to the expected level of professional development you'd have hoped BethSoft would have taken with a title this potentially lucrative. Don't buy it til it drops to $10.00 in the bargain bin, cause that is about all its worth. Expand

    Terrible controls, terrible AI, terrible graphics, shall I go on? There's little redeeming features to be found in this game, but one thing that is worthy of merit is Mickey Rourkes horrible voice work which is borderline hilarious sometimes, unintentionally though. There's nothing memorable at all and every game-play mechanic and story arc has been done before and much better. TheTerrible controls, terrible AI, terrible graphics, shall I go on?

    The appalling experience that plagues Rebellion's Rogue Warrior is so atrocious that it inspires me to kill myself after completing the game. A piece of crap, no more, no less.

    Easily the worst game of 2009. Graphics are nothing special, game play is repeditive, levels are badly made and you will finish the game in about an hour and a half.

    Well only reason why it got a one is because they had an idea for game play and such but wasn't well executed. Glitch's a lot making men appear from one spot right next to you. Fell through the game on many occasions. Graphics are obviously from years back. Terribly short. This was a game just slapped together hoping to make money. When steam offers this for $5 consider then.

    I never got to play the game through due to a video glitch. The game would pause for about a 1/2 second every 2 - 3 seconds. It was so annoying, I couldn't play it. I installed the game on XP Pro and 7 Pro with all drivers updated to no avail. Also there is no patch for the game period! What a waste of money!

    Very nice graphics. Thats it. The game itself is painfully boring with unnatural, robotic movements, clumbsy AI and very bad dialog. An attempt to make the character sound like Clint Eastwood gone wrong. Runs very well and smoothly with no major bugs that i noted. Just the gameplay is horrendous. Definitley NOT worth any purchase abouve 3.99.

    one of the worst games i have played. it tries hard to be funny and fails at the same time. if it was an indie game and had random glitches than i understand. but its by a big company so more was expected. dont bother getting it, there are better games than this and the 'one liners' get boring quickly.
