it’s worth a look but don’t expect a whole lot from it. True fans of Rogue Trooper might be let down tough.
Going through the game was entertaining but very repetitive and sometimes boring, I felt there was not enough verity in the bad guys or the terrain even, thankfully the game itself was very short
The GI chips made the game more interesting with them speaking to you every now and then and with there special abilities. Good use of helm and bagman, but I thought gunner was let down, having an option for using him as a sentry gun was a good idea, but don’t expect too much from him, as he seemed to have trouble hitting anything and seemed to just shoot in the enemies general direction which does work after a while.. I found myself getting bored waiting for him to kill off the bad guys so I’d do it myself with the pistol.. Oh! and pare of glasses would be useful for him, as he couldn’t see further than my granny!
The controls were a little awkward and I didn’t like the way rogue needed to turn before moving back in the direction you came from this also wasn’t good when trying to jump away from an incoming grenade, sometimes I found myself jumping at them or into a nearby wall because rogue was facing that way (even while pressing the opposite direction key) Jumping and shooting at nords at the same time looked really good though.
I liked the idea of peeping around the corner of a wall or pillar and using the blind fire option.. It looked really cool, but was pretty useless as you couldn’t hit anything (even with the GI chip) one thing I didn’t like about this was sniping from this mode..It left me wondering who took the shot or how I took it
Stealth kills where a nice feature in the game and I liked the different ways rogue took out the nords. Very entertaining
I also liked shooting nords air tanks which was sometimes more interesting than shooting them in the head or anywhere else
The AI in the game was very basic, with most enemy just running or walking up to you or hiding behind a wall or something else in wait for you, or pretty much firing on you when your visible, never did they try to flank me.
All in all the game is ok and if your not looking for anything too taxing or long I suppose this is it, lots of aspects of the game where very repetitive but I found myself coming back for more, mostly to see if anything new was around the corner.
I do feel this game had lots of potential but the game didn’t stand up to the comic book… it’s worth a look but don’t expect a whole lot from it.
