    Renegade Ops sees Avalanche successfully putting a thoroughly modern spin - and more than a few spin-outs - on well-worn mechanics. If you're reading, EA, we know just the team for that Strike reboot.

    A brief hit of retro goodness that loses its enchantment all too soon. If you're looking for a demanding blast from the past, Renegade Ops will sort you out for a week or two; just don't expect to be playing it for much longer than that.

    Renegade Ops is adequate for what it attempts to be, but it's more conformist than the title suggests.

    Renegade Ops is a simple, good looking downloadable bundle of fun. Avalanche, the developers of the equally fun Just Cause 2, know that onRenegade Ops is a simple, good looking downloadable bundle of fun. Avalanche, the developers of the equally fun Just Cause 2, know that on occasion, video games should be nothing but silly, explosive fun. And that's what Renegade Ops is. It's a top down, dual joystick shooter in which you control a car with guns and you blow **** up. That's about it, and if you can find anything wrong with that, then you shouldn't play it. The only real faults I have with it is it's price, the game is relatively short, with moderately low retail value, but the 5ish hours you will spend with it are a ton of fun. I have also encountered two full, hard freezes right at the end of a level when the game saves, the first time it managed to save the game, but the second time my save was lost and had to replay the level, but that was okay because the game is simply fun.

    If you have points and not much to play, pick this up, it's a bunch of simple video game fun.    … Full Review »

It isn't a complicated or complex game but, particularly when played co-op with a mate or two, it is great fun. The controls are excellent, it never takes itself too seriously and the pace never falters for a second.

    If you want a good co-op game to play either split screen or over Xbox Live this comes highly recommended.    … Full Review »
