Its probably the shortest game available, but in the space of 3 hours, its surprising the amount of flaws you'll find.
The plot is plain and boring, you've seen it many times before, executed a lot better in other games and movies. But its the gameplay which is Rogue Warrior's real concern. The word stealth gets thrown out of the window, since every stealth section you encounter is set up so perfectly that you almost can't fail. The terrible enemy AI are standing facing walls most of the time, deliberately letting pull off an extremely violent kill move. They don't respond to running, or even notice you from side-on positions. But luckily, the kill moves you do are worthwhile, and are the games highlight. There are just over 25 different variations, and each one is violently performed, and even comes with a loud piece of violent abuse.
Mickey Rourke somehow got himself into playing the protagonist's voice, but to be honest, it isn't too bad. He swears his head off, hurling insults and swear words whenever he can, but they actually prove humerous every now and then.
The graphics are stale, by that, I mean they are absolutely terrible, with lack of detail in environments. They would be suited for the PS2, maybe, but next-gen consoles is a laugh. The visuals drain every bit of hope out of the gunplay too, not that you could really do any worse. The gunplay is poor, there maybe blood, but it flows out of places your certain you never hit. Thats right, hit detection is at its utmost worse. You'll sometimes kill enemies with a few shots to the leg or chest, but then sometimes you might shoot an enemy several times in the face, with no response or reaction from the him. Fortunately, for your sake, there aren't many levels, and the game will be over in 2 and a half hours.
At least the game came with dozens of easy trophies, but to be honest, Rogue Warrior is a mess, and is poor in perhaps every gameplay department possible.

Good Points: Kill moves are brutal and entertaining, Some of the abusive dialogue is humerous.
Bad Points: Terrible graphics that don't belong on the PS3, Only lasts a couple of hours, Abysmal enemy intelligence, Gunplay is let down by poor hit detection, stuttering framerates and awful looking explosions, Stealth has no meaning in the game.
