Product ReviewsRogue Trooper (Sony PlayStation 2, 2006)

Some improvement welcome, but still an excellent game

For the last three days I've played nothing but Rogue Trooper. The story line just keeps growing. The story writters are pretty clever, and nothing is really all that far fetched when you take everything into perspective. "Rogue" the main charater you're playing is an engineered mutant infantry soldier sent with his comrads to defend a war they nearly loose all in the first hour of deployment. The plot thickens as someone from the inside is suspect for the rapid loss of forces.

One of the few quams I have with this game are a few bugs I've encountered. The sticky gernades plant themself in the dumbest locations despite your efforts. I've seen plenty of them just hover in mid air for no apparent reason. At least there are checkpoints frequently enough through the game you can rethink your strategy. I encountered a second issue trying to reclaim Gunner from a sentry gun mode. When I attempted to pick him up, I went running off into one direction for no apparent reason. Eventually I died and restarted from the checkpoint. *sigh*. Another problem happened after I placed micromines near a respawn point for spiders. As I was exiting the cave for cover, atleast one spider was spawned triggering an explosion. The game froze dead in its tracks. Had to restart and resume from a save on the memory card.

The AI from the enemy can be pretty satrical at times. Enemies can loose their attention on you (great for kill moves = extra salvage) with the halodecoy, or even Gunner as a sentry. They become invalueable tools to stay alive while you evade decapitators, snipers, and relentless enemies. You'll learn new tricks as you progress through the game. Not all upgrades are created equal, but some are vital at key points.

Some of the game play, story and tatics are similar to Red Faction, also an EDIOS game. Red Faction has funner extras with destorying structures, but Rogue Trooper has much of the same structure engines it seems. (Durring game play, I'd get disoriented thinking I was playing Red Faction, or I'd have a fleeting thought from the game!)

Over all it was well worth it.Read full review...

MERCS Arcade Game In The Future !

Finally a 3rd person shooter you can just run through without having too many weapons to choose with awkward buttons to use them. Colorful, varied areas that sparkle with explosions as you run along, without a confusing direction to go. The Cheats for it don't work until you complete the game, dumb idea when using them right away makes the 1st ( only ) game play more fun.........Read full review...

An Excellent Shooter

This game helps define what some 3RD person shooters are missing. You can use fallen enemies as salvage to make ammo and weapons. This can also make upgrades for the weapons so they can hold more ammo and be more damaging as enemies get a bit tougher and stronger. You can get help from allies when you get them. You can lay as much micro mines as you could. Even when you eliminate snipers or lazooka you get a different type of salvage points for that enemy type.You get many different types of weapons from a machine gun(gunnar), to a sammy launcher and the favorite shotgun.The Ai is decent and can act stupidly sometimes. You can take control of Hell's Cannon to take out subs or Flak cannon to take out the Hoppas(Helicopters). Weapon implacements are also set. You can find hidden salvage ang can set up holodecoys to confuse the enemy.You get three different types of microchip up grades: helm, gunnar, and bagman. The relationship between these guys are enough to get you laughing. This game helps define 3RD person shooters.Read full review...

I found this game to be a great fun game, i especially liked the fact that they show you what direction to go to get to your next target i hate games that are mazes and take forever to figure out where to go.
