    All i can say is wow. just wow at how bad this game is. Boring story, terrible gameplay, and repetitive mission structure. If you see this in a store and think about getting it, think long and hard and look at some reviews because some games can be so bad that they can get a 0/10

    terrible, i actually enjoyed it a little bit for some of the stealth kills, should really have been third person with the option to go first person for shooting. bit like hitman blood money. its like a ps2 shooter has been ported to the X360.

    Not a stinker but pretty close from it. You can't really try to inflitrate so you have to walk you way through shooting here ans there and the shooting itself is ridiculously inapt. I'm not impress...

    Let 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 actionLet 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.    … Expand

    I've played a lot of first-person shooters. I've played some good FPS games and some bad FPS games. But this game... this one may take the cake for the worst FPS game ever.

And if that's not enough, the game goes way too overboard with the foul language. Did Marcinko swear this much in real life? Even the startup screen has the nerve to call you a for playing on easy. The only things this game have going for it is Mickey Rourke providing the voice of Marcinko and a few cool stealth kills. Other than that, this game is among the worst FPS games I've ever played. Even Soldier of Fortune: Payback was better than this... and that's not a good game, either.… Expand

    I REALLY wanted this game to be what it was hyped to be. I think certain elements were great, like the voice overs with all the profanity, and the special kill moves, although overly simple. Development basically stopped there. Medal of Honor, Allied Assault, a game from 7 years ago, had better gameplay and design than this. I couldnt even play through the second level I was so disgusted. I REALLY wanted this game to be what it was hyped to be.

    Rogue Warrior is of course a terrible game, but the worse part of it all is that Bethesda actually agreed to publish this piece of crap. I have lost so much respect for them as a Game Publisher.

    What an abysmal failure! The aiming was terrible, the enemies ai was dumber then a nail, graphics/sound were pre-gen garbage.

    First off when you review a game remember to understand the difference between a developer and a publisher. Was the game bad? Yes. Did Bethesda make it? No. They were just publishing it trying to help another company with it's idea. Bethesda is too busy crapping out AAA titles to screen what they publish it seems though.

    This game is bad, and bethesda didnt make it, they published it, im sad that you guys would feel valid enough to give a fair review when you don't even understand the difference, its rather moronic, my point is, if your going to try to review something, you need to know what your talking about, and not just think you know.

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

Enemies have that early 2000s syndrome where you can shoot them in a leg, they'll react to it for a few seconds, and then they are perfectly fine and running at you again. The single player itself is only like 3 hours long, so it's easy to beat in a day. The game runs at something like 20 frames per second, and has graphics like a game from 2005, so it's not easy to look at. Given the game's development history, i can easily see how it was such a terrible mess. If you want something so-bad-it's-good, then rent this for a few hours worth of pseudo-retro fun. Plus the ending credits theme music is AMAZING!… Expand

    This is the best game of all time It has progressive storytelling, great graphics, however it is a Call of Duty ripoff. So therefore I will give it a 0/10. - IGN

    While I didn't hate this game as much as some of the reviewers did (I think IGN's 1.5 may be a little harsh), it is definitely far from a good game. The main complaint I have with this game is the length. It is possible to beat this game in less than 2 hours (an average play session for some). I played on the hardest difficulty and beat it in 3-4 hours.

The main complaint I have with this game is the length. It is possible to beat this game in less than 2 hours (an average play session for some). I played on the hardest difficulty and beat it in 3-4 hours. Some of the gameplay mechanics really detract from the experience as well. The stealth kills can be completely exploited, because you are invincible when performing them. This makes it easy for players to run from enemy to enemy and just use the knife to take them out. The cover system is also very spotty. Sometimes it works decently, and other times you get killed anyway. This can lead to some really frustrating experiences as it is never really clear how you are getting killed. The AI is downright laughable. It is so bad it nearly breaks the game on its own. You can engage in a huge gun battle in one room, walk in to the next room, and see that they apparently did not hear the explosions or gunfire. Footsteps have no effect on enemies either, so you can run right up to an enemy's back and "stealth kill" them. Multiplayer isn't worth mentioning, because there is absolutely nobody playing this game online. The bottom line is that this game doesn't provide a lot of content for your money. With no online multiplayer and a campaign that is 4 hours when it is pushed to the max, there isn't reason to play it at all. Steer clear and save your money.… Expand

    The graphics look like a PS2 launch game and are very dark making it hard to see.The framerate drops consistently too.The game also has a tendency to just freeze for no apparent reason and is filled with game-breaking bugs.

    The sound design and soundtrack are phenomenally bad.

    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.

    There's a reason why Bethesda have kept quiet with this game and quite frankly it's because it's under par.

    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.
