Rogue Ops
- Nikki is a special agent in training who’s been sent after Omega 19, a very secretive terrorist organization. Omega 19 is believed to have bought top-secret Cold War era weapons. She’ll place her life on the line to find out what they’re up to, in a final exam that has lethal consequences for everyone if she fails.
- Secrecy is the key to this game — DO NOT let the enemy see you. Use Nikki’s training to blend into any situation, any environment, at any time
- Go on 8 action-packed missions as you set traps, avoid security and dispose of any evidence you were there
- When combat is required, use Nikki’s extensive arsenal — from pistols and tasers to shuriken and dart guns
- Use cutting-edge spy equipment like retina scanners, glide-cams, thermal camouflage and addrenalin boosts to get what you’re after and make a safe getaway

If I were you I would let this game sneak onto my shelf. This is a splendid game for anyone who likes secrecy-based gameplay. If you liked Splinter Cell, this is a splendid game to hold you over until Splinter Cell: Pandorra Tommorrow comes out. It has a splendid set of enemy A.I. The controls are not as hard as they sound, they are about the same as the Socom U.S. Navy Seals 2 set. If you give this game a chance, it may sneak it’s way onto your favorite sports meeting list.

Get this one only if you either like secrecy-based play and need a break from Splinter Cell/Metal Gear or are looking for a cash off item. Movement control is clunky, especially since you have to use the the “look” command in specific (VERY specific) onscreen hotspots to go anything but the most basic of actions. Has some honest glitch issues as well (eg, I died during a boss fight, yet the cinematic showing the boss’ death played and I went to the next level). And for some reason, the only way to walk quietly is crouched down. Hunh.
The tale is asinine. Omega 19 (A fatty acid?) killed your family, and now they’re going to blow up the world. Or some other run-of-the-mill badnik stuff. I didn’t care, and you probably won’t either. The journeyman voice cast mostly gets the job done, though the lead actress is both lousy and miscast. One of the villains died twice in the script, too.
The huge beef with this puppy is the challenge. Not the actual game-play; that’s standard sneaky stuff. Some of the solutions just don’t make a lot of sense. For example, a puzzle makes you avoid setting off a heat sensor by running into a freezer for a few seconds first, apparently lowering your body temperature. Not only would this not work (to drop her body temp at all cast off have to just about freeze to death), it’s not even clarified what’s happening when you’re in the freezer.
Elsewhere, you have to bug a room that has a character in it. Conundrum is, you don’t know at this point what she looks/sounds like. When you walk down a corridor a small audio clip of someone speaking plays once, though on some playthroughs it fails to play at all. You then have to crawl owing to the ventilation system (avoiding the cliche police) and set the bug, though you can’t even see the people you’re listening in on when you do. If the audio clip didn’t load, you’ll have no thought what it is you’re even doing.
If you get stuck, and with all the nonsense in this title you will, you have to run from room to room, using that frustrating “look” command to find the miniscule hotspots, then guess what the game’s screwed-up logic wants you to do. And the levels are surprisingly linear for a game like this. Some of the guards just stand there and stare at each other, too. No talking, just staring, making it so you have no chance to take ‘em out without a sound. Who does that? You can’t even distract them.
I gave it two stars, because some of the puzzles in fact are kind of fun and the secrecy, once you get used to the clunk factor, is handled tolerably well. It’s certainly on the south-side of average, but there’s worse out there. It’s worth a couple of bucks.

I bought this game because of the picture on the box – well, forget about seeing that “feature” in the game. You get a rather primitively animated character. So how’s the gameplay? Not too splendid. You’ll spend a lot of time standing around waiting for stuff to happen. Wait…and wait and wait and wait…for some guy to walk down a hallway so you can sneak behind him. Wait for some guy to show up so you can shoot him. Wait for a camera to sweep in the other management so you can sneak around it. The controls of the game don’t lend themselves to any sort of exciting battles either. If you want to keep your weapon drawn, you can only go at a snail’s pace. You get a small red dot to designate what you’re aiming at – it’s pretty hard to see. You’ll stand there getting shot as you try to locate where your small red dot is.
Two other really terrible things about this game is that it constantly leaves you wandering around with no thought where you’re supposed to go or what you’re supposed to do. Also, you’ll quite often fail the mission and have no thought what you did incorrect. Just try something a small bit different next time. And try again. And again. Then consult a walkthrough on the internet.
The second time I played owing to it, I got to one point in the game where there was supposed to be a cutscene, which would then lead to the next part of the mission. But the cutscene never played. I did everything I was supposed to do, but the game just seemed stuck there. Anyhow, it’s not nearly fun enough to make me really want to figure out what was incorrect, so I just went on to a different game.
By and large, I’d recommend skipping this one. It’s just not much fun at all.

I bought this game because of the reviews. I liked it, but I found it to be too simple to beat. Glad I didn’t pay much for it.

This game does have its excellent points. The graphics are splendid and the objectives of the game are realistic.
The game controls are a small irritating, as you have to go into a special “view” mode to make your character look around and look in a specific area in order to find something…and if you miss that specific area, she won’t “see” it and therefore be able to do the thing you want her to do.
The enemy A.I. isn’t very intelligent, they’ll walk right by you even if they shine flashlights on you they won’t necessarily see you. Some of the levels border from hard to impossible though. I like an approach that isn’t all out guns blazing, but I do like the option of being able to take out a guard or security camera if I have to. Some of the levels in this game, you can’t take out even a security camera, which is just stupid…and it’s not the latter missions where you would expect things to be harder. Some of the ends of missions also have you fighting a “boss” which brings back NES and Super NES memories, but the bosses aren’t necessarily as challenging. Having to fight a boss at the end of a level sometimes just seems pointless and derivitive instead of using gameplay based on objectives and enemies throughout the level.
By and large, this game had the potential to be as excellent as Splinter Cell, but the over emphasis on secrecy (sometimes in the face of common sense) dooms it to just average.
But, if you’re a player that’s extremely excellent at Splinter Cell using secrecy and don’t need to take out many guards or enemies in each level, you’ll probably like and be excellent at this game too.
