Rogue Trooper wii game, good, bad or just ugly?
« on: 09 August, 2011, 10:47:12 AM »
Hello I am thinking of buying the Rogue Trooper wii game. Has anyone played in? (I know it being around for a few years but i've only just heard of it.)
If so would you recommend it?

Thanks Kirbs.

I think it is great, my only problem with it was the clumsy motion control required for grenade launching (you have to flick the Wimote but it makes your aim go off). See this: http://goodwiigames2.blogspot.com/2011/04/rogue-trooper-quartz-zone-massacre.html.

It's a brilliant game, and completely nails Rogue. The one thing I would say is, like WhizzBang, I found the wii controls were a bit fiddly and preferred playing it on PS2. Still, it's cracking on both.

Cheer thank you for the replys.  I can get it for around 8 or 9 quid on amazon so i'm going for it. Thank again for the advice.  :)

I've seen it for £5 in Game and Wilkinsons recently.
I demand to have some booze!

Thanks Albion, we have a wilkinsons and game station in my home town.  I'll check them out before ordering online.

It is a fantastic game and I've got it on both the PS2 and the Wii. I'd love for there to be an expansion done.

I've seen the comment in a number of places that it is just like Gears of War but pre-dates it. I agree. It really is good fun.

And another thumbs up from me.

I don't recall having problems with the grenades (but Tiny Tips did) though I did keep getting stuck on scenery. And I couldn't use the ack ack guns on the train level to shoot down the hoppas at all. Just rubbish at it.

If I recall, Edge magazine gave it a very respectable 7 out of 10.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

I reckon that if you are a Rogue Trooper fan anyway that you can probably kick that rating up a notch or two.

I loved that game.  Chock full of references to the stories, great fun.
