This is not a great game. The gameplay is generic and the story is not interesting or engaging. The multiplayer is dead, even since day one. The only bright spot are the main character's one-liners before he delivers a stealth kill but even those become tiresome as they begin to repeat themselves. It's a fairly easy completion if you're into gamerscore. Even on the hardest difficulty the game can be defeated in 6 hours give or take. Enjoy!

In Rogue Warrior, lead character Dick "Demo Dick" Marcinko (based on the real-life ex-Navy SEAL, and voiced by actor Mickey Rourke) doesn't just drop an F-bomb--he drops an entire nuclear warhead of repulsive language that would make even the most world-wise among us reach for a set of earplugs. As depicted in developer Rebellion's newest first-person shooter, Marcinko is a shallow, potty-mouthed antihero without a single redeeming quality. Unfortunately, the appalling dialogue seems to have inspired Rogue Warrior's gameplay, which is characterized by useless stealth mechanics, inconsistent hit detection, incredibly linear level design, and abysmal AI. Yet the boring, one-dimensional gameplay and terrible dialogue aren't the game's most insulting blemishes; that prize belongs to Rogue Warrior's total lack of value. You can finish it in just over two hours, and the stripped multiplayer consists only of deathmatch and team deathmatch, yet publisher Bethesda Softworks is asking full price. Don't be a sucker: Steer clear of this garbage. Rogue Warrior Review This dreadfully boring, expletive-filled, extremely short shooter is an absolute rip-off. The Good * Close-quarters kills look cool. The Bad * Just over two hours of solo gameplay at full price * Dialogue is a constant stream of disgusting language * Super linear and super boring * Terrible AI * Useless stealth mechanics.

Don't be a sucker: Steer clear of this garbage. Dick doesn't like Commies. * Comment on this video * Watch this video in High Def You'll at least sniff one sweet smell amid the stench--that of Rogue Warrior's momentarily satisfying close-quarters kills. If you get close enough to your enemy (not exactly difficult considering the putrid AI), you can plunge your knife into his back, snap his neck, or smash his head into the wall. The thrill dissipates quickly, however. Every level is linear, and opportunities to sneak up behind your Communist foes are laid out in a predictable manner. There may be three or four enemies milling about at a time, all placed in such a way as to make it a cinch to sneak up behind them and play grim reaper. These easy stealth opportunities are further simplified by the morons you assassinate, who appear to have no peripheral vision and won't notice you creeping up on them from the most obvious angles. They also appear to be near-deaf.Read full review
This game was a LOT of fun! Similar to Splinter Cell in the sense that you have to do a lot of sneaking around, which makes it fun because you can drop that and just go in guns blazin' too! Pros: Interesting gameplay, great Campaign storyline, "active cover" feature like Gears of War/Army of Two/Breach games; allowing you to duck behind cover and view your enemies without being spotted! Cons: It's no CoD or Crysis 2 when it comes to graphics. But they're not shabby either. Still better than arcade games. It doesn't necessarily bother me because I don't solely base a game on looks. Neutral: Language. I have no parental settings and harsh words/slang doesn't bother me, but I certainly wouldn't let my son play without restrictions! I could care less about online play. It's a nice feature and all, but there are very few people online who play this, so good luck getting a match together. You may find me on there from time to time (EXboxNick).Read full review
This a Great shooter game for players who are not expert gamers. The action and special effects are very realistic. The control buttons are simple, yet offer a wide variety of action options. However,.. this is an Adult ONLY game. I have read many of the Rogue Warrior novels, and the video game does not stray far from the formula in the Language, comedic commentary, and Brutality of the kills. It is a GREAT game for Demo Dick fans and lovers of bloody shooter games.
Play this game on hard and its another normal call of duty series when you have extra time. I thought it was great, but it has a lot of potty mouth in it, but it does not take gods name in vane. the reviews were not that great, but you will be surprised, but its rather short, 6 hours or so. If you like shooters you will like it.I did.
