Rogue Warrior

You play as Dick a special forces commando who knows how to move and kill people, in this case, North Korean and Russian soldiers in the mid-1980's with the cold war ending five years later.

This game can be quite graphic for younger computer game players as when you perform a special move the game will show a dedicated scene of the enemy dying, this time being communist soldiers.

I don't know why all the hate for this title... is it because communists are involved?

People can complete this game in about six hours it took me a few days of stopping and starting.

A cheap thrill for about ten dollars off of Amazon so just go for it.

A few weeks ago, I was out from work sick for a few days, and rented Rogue Warrior for my Xbox 360. If I ever see Dick Marcinko face to face again, I'll ask him for my ten bucks back. The bottom line here is that this is just another first person shooter- the plot is weak, it's completely lone wolf, the scenery is all the same from what I saw, it borrows too heavily from too many other games of the genre, the language is excessive (and this is a former soldier saying this, mind you), and it does absolutely nothing to grab your attention. I rented it on principle, as I'm a huge FPS player, but I lost interest about halfway through the second mission. There is just nothing to set it apart from any of the ten zillion other FPS games out there. The weapons and equipment are typical, granted, the kill moves are kind of cool, but you have to get the drop on an enemy to perform them. Bottom line- if someone buys you this game, go trade it in.

They charged $60? Ain't no way, that's literally a scam. I can't think of a single aspect of this game that isn't horrendous. It couldn't end quick enough for me.

I rented this game back in March or so. I never heard of Rogue Warrior and when I looked at the back and front cover to see the description of the game, I got pretty excited. When I got home, I looked up the reviews and I realized the game got unanimously horrendous reviews from critics. So me and my brother decided to see for ourselves on how bad the game was. I will tell you, it was bad alright. The graphics look like something you would get from an XBox or PS2 game, and even many games from these two systems, especially the Xbox since it had better graphics than the PS2 in most games, had better graphics than Rogue Warrior. The use of swearing is off the charts, although it does make the game very funny and probably the only good thing about the game. The enemy AI is terrible. I remember one time I shot out a fuse box when an enemy was very close to it. Not even by yelling out an explicit after that did the enemy pay any attention. You can sprint up to enemies to kill them with knife kills and they won't notice. Speaking of knife kills, these are used in the game. They're very impressive, but are exploited as you can just run from enemy to enemy to take them out. That is because you are invincible when performing knife kills. The game is very short so it's possible you can beat it in one sitting. Final thought, there are so many better first-person shooters that are worth the money.

The great thing about this game is that it really makes you feel like a badass. It feels like a good action movie and the one man army left to finish the mission setting is great. The addition of Mickey Rourke voicing the main character is great too and the music is good throughout the game. I don't really know what makes this game bad, like it's usually considered. The gameplay is solid and there's nothing else to really complain about either.
