3.0 out of 5 stars Not good... Frustrating!, January 16, 2004

The game is frustrating. That's simply it. There are only eight stages, and all the people I know that play this game say it's frustrating.

The controls hurt. The graphics aren't moving at 60 FPS, so the controls are clumsy. Left analog to move, right analog to turn. Easy? Not easy when you have a choppy frame rate.

The game has some very strange mechanics. The strangest is the security cameras. One time, I went right across the camera. The alarm didn't sound. Weird. Later I tried it again. Now it sounded. Wacky!

There is also a ton of tricky spots in the game. Tons of laser securities and cameras. Tons. On the first level, half of it is laser security. It's frustrating to manage. You have to wander around quite a bit just to figure out what to do.

That being said, the game is a bit fun. Sneaking and killing is fun. That's it. Other portions of the game failed.

This game dropped from 50 to 20 bucks (new) in 2 months. Does that tell you something?

1.0 out of 5 stars utter garbo, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rogue Ops (Video Game)

This game seems on the surface like another covert-ops-stealth-infiltration game, a la Metal Gear or Splinter Cell. The key difference between Metal Gear or Splinter Cell and this titles is that Metal Gear and Splinter Cell didn't suck.

The controls are very crappy. I often found myself running in circles trying to get into the perfect spot so the stupid little green icon would come up and let me DO SOMETHING. The plot is more cheesy than a fifty pound block of Wisconsin Cheddar. The 'voice acting' sounds like something taken from a soap opera... and a low-budget soap opera at that. Add to that some horrible programming bugs that really should have been caught during playtest (the only voice prompt given to me was 'great job, move on to the next area'... even as I was shot and dying...) and you're left with a sorry excuse for a knockoff.

Bottom line... save your money and get something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Game, Great Price!, May 2, 2004

This review is from: Rogue Ops (Video Game)

I bought my copy for $6.99 at EB Games--brand new! And for that price, you can't find too much wrong with it. Yes, it's a blatant rip-off of Splinter Cell (with a healthy dose of Tomb Raider, Syphon Filter and a pinch of Metal Gear Solid mixed in), but it's fun in it's own right. The graphics are actually pretty good, not Splinter Cell quality, but what is? And the voice acting is better than expected. If you like stealth games, then I recommend you buy Rogue Ops. At this price, why rent it?
