Rogue Ops is a mid-tier stealth action game that attempts to ride the coattails of Splinter Cell's success. It puts you in the shoes of Nikki Connors, an ex-Green Beret seeking revenge on a terrorist organization. While the premise and action-movie atmosphere have potential, Rogue Ops suffers from clumsy controls, frustrating level design, and a lack of overall polish. Its brief campaign and repetitive gameplay may provide some fleeting thrills, but ultimately, there are far better stealth-action experiences available.

This is one of the many stealth games that popped up during Metal Gear Solid's heyday. It's basically a clunkier and far less interesting version of the early Splinter Cell titles with none of the political intrigue.

The movement uses not-so-obvious tank controls, and things especially get cumbersome when you're aiming and shooting, since you can only strafe while aiming. There's also no dedicated jump button, you have to look at things directly in order to interact, including looking at ledges to grab on to them, which is not ideal.

Many parts of the game are quite dark or in night time since you can use shadows to hide, and it can be very hard to see what's around you since your nightvision goggles is only available in first person view with a ridiculously small field of view.

The story is very unenjoyable, it's a by the numbers revenge story. All of the characters are unlikeable and they're often very standoff-ish towards each other. It's a shame, I kinda like the main character's design, I just wish she would stop being so sassy.

I guess the one thing I liked is you can throw shurikens to kill enemies, that's kinda badass. Can't say much more.

Pretty obvious Splinter Cell clone. I liked the minimap and some of the weapons, but the voice acting is just horrid and there's not much to the story.
