The endless war continues to rage on Nu Earth; with the planet poisoned the Norts and the Southers continue fighting. But the Southers have a new weapon: soldiers bred to survive on the hostile planet; the Genetic Infantrymen. But they've been betrayed and Rogue is the only survivor. With the help of the bio-chips of his dead squad-mates stored in his weapons and gear, Rogue is out to destroy a traitor general in this third person shooter full of gunning, great set pieces and a story following the great Rogue Trooper comics from 2000 AD.
Faithfully based on the comic of the same name by 2000 AD, Rogue Trooper follows Rogue, the sole survivor from the GI invasion of Nu Earth and his quest for justice: killing the general that betrayed the Southers and caused the death of his test-tube brothers. Made by the same chaps behind the award winning Sniper Elite, Rebellion have done the perfect job of recreating the Rogue Trooper world.
The first thing that'll grab you in Rogue Trooper is the amazing art style throughout the hostile Nu Earth: the ravaged battlegrounds, the imaginative enemies and the amazing set pieces. Fans of the original comics will see a perfect transition for Rogue in his blue skinned glory to the game screen.
After the death of his squad-mates in the GI assault Rogue digs out their Bio-chips from their bodies and puts them in his kit turning him into a one man battalion. With the help of Gunnar in his rifle (letting you station the sentry gun and pick off head shots with ease), Helm in his helmet (for computer hacking and general strategic advice) and BagMan in his backpack (letting you make ammunition on the fly, use mines and create a holographic decoy) Rogue Trooper gives you so many tools to destroy the Norts that you'll definitely have the right tool for the right job. Though whether you choose the right upgrade at the right time is up to you.
