    This is a singular title which is not that similar to the 1985 original. Those who are looking for an HD version of Green Beret might be disappointed, but this is still a good action game with simple gameplay that blends action, adventure and stealth.

    Rush n' Attack Ex Patriot is a decent game that deserves attention from the fans of arcade platform games, in particular the old ones that 25 years ago wasted all their coins playing Green Beret. Shadow Complex and Bionic Commando Rearmed are in a different league, but it might be worth a try.

    Not as good as we expected: the mix of action and stealth doesn't work too well. It's biggest flaw, though, is not being as faithful with the original as other remakes/sequels of old arcade games.

    It comes up short. It's split into three uninspired levels of repetitive knife stabbing, sloppy platforming, and switch hitting to drain out toxic sludge. [Mar 2011, p.98]

    Overall Rush'n Attack: Ex Patriot, despite its flaws (poor audio, platforming and overall game play), kept me coming back for more as the story progressed.

    Let me be clear. Rush 'N Attack: Ex-Patriot is, overall, not a good game. It has enjoyable moments that are buried under a frustrating control scheme, horrible writing, and a Frankenstein's monster of mechanics that worked well in other games.

    Reinventing an old coin-op is fine with us, but unfortunately, this redux fails to meet modern standards. [April 2011, p.79]

    It is not that Ex-Patriot is a bad game, it is just that there are better and smoother alternatives on the XBLA marketplace. Unfortunately, if you want a more enjoyable experience (that also costs less and has an entertaining co-op feature), check out the original version.

    Rush'N Attack: Ex-Patriot disappoints with bad controls and fights that are way too easy – the only challenge is to avoid the glitches.

    Rush'N Attack could have been a nice mix between action, stealth and platforming. But each part of its multifaceted gameplay somehow fails to give us what we expected.

    More variety in the gameplay and more clarity in how the game actually works would have been much appreciated.
