Things to love about RS: Lone Wolf: It's cheap, the title at least SOUNDS cool, and it makes a great coaster.
So, I got older, and bought myself the PS1 version of Rogue Spear. Eh, it was an OK game; it kept me busy for a couple weekends or so, but the gameplay was varied enough to keep my attention.
THEN came Lone Wolf. "Hey!", I said to myself, "Lone Wolf sounds like a good game. And it's cheap, so it must've been out for awhile. I think I want to spend my hard-earned lawnmowing money on it!" Boy, kids are really stupid, don't you think?
I played the game for about 6 hours. I beat it. "Man, that was disappointing." You know where this review is going.
The gameplay was whacked -- AI was either REALLY smart (too smart in many cases) or too dumb. Often, you'd find yourself creeping up to an enemy for the kill, and another three guards would see you (I guess Ding Chavez has some really bad odor or something, because there's NO WAY they'd be able to see him in many cases, as careful as I was.)
Graphics were worse than PS1's Rogue Spear. And wait, isn't this supposed to be a newer game?! Eh, budget games don't exactly call for anyone other than college interns to work on their staff, do they? Nightvision goggles were used HEAVILY (even in the day, or where ample light was still there... go figure).
Sound was pretty choppy at times, not to mention repetitive. Any time your enemies spoke, it's probably something you've already heard six thousand times.
Oh, wait, no, I over-exaggerated. They don't say it six thousand times, because you'd have to play the game through about 500 times for you to hear them say the same line six thousand times, because the game's only got 5 levels. 5 repetitive, boring, poorly constructed levels.
The only thing I would boast about this game is that, unlike Rogue Spear, this game actually uses BOTH analog sticks for control. So, yeah, that was probably the most exciting feature of this game.
In conclusion, and I'm going to say this as bluntly as I can... This game sucks. Don't buy it. Save your money for the value meal at Taco Bell or something. Please.
