The major fault lies in the gameplay - it's the same old thing again and again - move aorund levels, kill enemy, fly about, kill even more enemies - but with nowhere near enough action to satisfy would-be GIs.Įven ardent 2000AD fanatics (like myself) would be warned to take a close look before grabbing hold of this. The sound is also nice, but doesn't seem to fit the bill as well as it could.
The graphics are okay, and Rogue himself is animated quite well - there's even a nice "comic book" sequence in between levels - but the overall effect seems a little flat and two-dimensional. Why? Well, as I've said before with Krysalis' games, they all seem to look and play remarkably similar to each other, and this is no exception. Now Krysalis have got the licence, and the end result seems to be a combination of Prison (one of their earlier titles), and Logotron's BAD Company, and fall sinto the "not too good, not too bad" category. Hmmm, I remember way back, when Piranha released a Rogue Trooper game, and to be quite honest, it was a pile of crud. Here our hero in blue genes (urgh!) has to survive until he reaches the base where the identity of the traitor can be exposed! Things don't get any easier from there, though, as the Norts have unleashed "dreamweaver" gas canisters, causing Rogue to hallucinate. Additional bits can be purchased - at a hefty cost - from Bland and Brass, two battlefield scavs who will buy and sell anything - for a profit! Once this is done, Rogue can escape in a stolen craft, and fly over enemy lines to the Souther base. All three are scattered through several levels of platforms, each dotted with Nort soldiers and sentry robots, which must be taken out before they can either injure you, or sound the alarm. His first task is to retrieve his helmet, his gun and his backpack, each containing one of the bio-chips. Rogue has been captured, but has escaped from his cell within a huge Nort compound. His mission is one of revenge - against the traitor who sold out the Southers, and caused the death of dozens of Rogue's colleagues. One of these is the Rogue Trooper, the only survivor of the Quartz Massacre, along with his bio-chip comrades, Gunnar, Bagman and Helm. There, a war rages between two factions, the vicious Nots and the desperate Southers - each determined to be victorious in a battle which neither side can win.Įnter the GIs - Genetic Infantrymen, a breed of elite warriors bred with built-in protection from Nu-Earth's harsh environment. Something so rare, I added two to the score.The time is the far future, the place is a word far from our own, known as Nu-Earth - a ravaged globe where the very air is poison. So thanks, Gunnar.įinally though, kudos to the scriptwriters and actors for providing a stream of banter that never once made me want to pull my jaw off and mash my teeth against my forehead.
Perhaps it's just me, but when Gunnar said, "Take cover, there's too many of them," I refused because it wasn't my idea. It isn't a hugely challenging third-person shooter though, and the tutorial is too mothering for too long. The weapons you discover from blueprints and the powers you gain from your friends (decoys, sentry guns, upgrades, micro-mines) aren't ground-breaking, but they're diverse and faithful to their roots. The controls tutorial starts with the presumption that you've been holding a pillow to your face since Quake, but as Rogue's squad are killed and their bio-chips incorporated into his equipment, it starts to become fun to play. And there aren't any crates of Red Bull lying around, either.įirst off, it looks good, in a grimy war-torn way. Rebellion blew a couple of hats off with their first 2000AD conversion Dredd vs Death took two of the best-known characters from the stable, and now it's Rogue's turn for his first digital daytrip since the days of 16-bit. Rogue Trooper is nothing you haven't seen before, but you can't go around demanding to see new things every day.
The characterisation is classic, sassy soldier chat, and it's done well - and it's an above-average shooter. Your rifle) allows you to drop your gun and leave it to act as a sentry post. For example, Gunnar's biochip (installed in
And some of the comic translates well into gameplay, too. This is a great, stylish take on the HEV suit with invisible voices bickering around you. This leaves you - Rogue - with an entire team around your person. However, that's OK! In the future, soldiers have biochips, which store their personalities, that can be installed into their rifles, helmets and backpacks. Although it suffered from the same empty-world syndrome that broke the immersion in Rebellion's Judge Dredd FPS, there's a strong script at work, and fine acting.Ģ000AD noobs will need an explanation: Rogue Trooper is a blue, genetically modified soldier who sees his squad die in the opening scenes of the game.
