Rogue Trooper

Rogue Trooper brings the cult science-fiction hero to your Xbox for 3rd-person action and next-generation stealth. On the hostile planet of Nu Earth, a brutal and futile war is being fought. Among the soldiers sent there to die, there are many legends; one in particular involves a lone blue-skinned warrior: The ultimate killer, the last survivor of the massacred Genetic Infantrymen. Bred for war, he takes revenge on both sides — appearing out of nowhere to take out whole platoons, then fading back into the shadows. He is the Rogue Trooper, and he may be the only one who can end the war for good. Intense split-screen and online multiplayer action

4 Stars a good fps
at begining I felt like I was playing halo but it wehnd down after 1 hour playing. still a good fps .but not that good as halo.
4 Stars Fun third-person shooter!
Yes, the original Xbox is on the way out. Yes, there are better shooters out there. Yes, the game is kinda short. But this game is really fun! I almost didn’t play the game because of the snobby reviews that say there’s nothing new here. Yeah, if you’re comparing it to Gears of War! I was able to immerse myself in a fantasy world for a few days and had a blast doing it. Rogue Trooper controls are good and is definitely better than a lot of the shooters to come out on Xbox. Any shooter fan is missing out on a fun ride. Pick it up cheap. You won’t regret it.
5 Stars Great
It is one of the few games that reinspires the shooter genre. It is deep and innovative and is definitely fun to play. The thing I love the most is hiding behind cover and throwing a grenade.

5 Stars THIS GAME ROCKS!!
It is very fun to play and the action is crazy. When I first got my hands this game, I could not stop playing it. Great for you xbox collection!
4 Stars Shoulders for Giants
This underrated game has been cited as an inspiration for hit games like “Gears of War” and “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune”. I played this game when it was released back in 2003. I remember being impressed with the cover-oriented combat system. At the time I thought it was the best implementation of using cover in gun fights. I felt that maybe “Winback” and the “Metal Gear” games were its spiritual predecessors, but looking back I think this game really took it to another level and the “hiding behind cover” craze that has swept “shooter” games since the popularity of Gears really has its roots in kill.switch. This game is inexpensive now and I would encourage any Gears fan to give it a look. It is compatible with the 360.
4 Stars Pretty good game, bit dated now
I played this game when it first came out, and recently bought it for < 10 bucks at a second-hand game shop. The game play over all is very good, although some of the shared buttons are not a good idea. The graphics now look pretty bland, but since it came out in 2003 that is only to be expected. I keep waiting for Kill.Switch II to come out, but it never has. Shame really. This game has some very good ideas in it, and the physics of recoil and the general environment were very clever.
1 Star To play or not to play?(not to play)
One word, SUCKS but I will take the time to explain (in what little detail there is)how stupid this game really is.OK first of all bad controls ,your pressing 1 button to use wall cover and another to fire while hittng up,all at the same time!!!Next low variety of weapons 3 or 4 at the most (splinter cell is an exception!)Last but not least ,graphics easily the high point of this idiotic peice of trash,and they still look terrible!!!
Look take it from me stay away from this…….thing as much as possible,even if their giving it away for free!!!trust me.
5 Stars FLIP THE F***ING KILL SWITCH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kill.Switch….This game is simply amazing. The graphics aren’t too shabby, especially for 2003. It’s the attention to detail in the graphics that is astonishing. For example: I shot from my cover and killed a man that was about 10 feet away. When he fell his gun fell out of his hand and bounced a bit and it leaned against the wall after it bounced and wiggle….THAT’S WHAT IT WOULD DO IN REAL LIFE!!!! The blind firing techniques are a definate perfecting to put into a game. I’m suprised no other game developers have gotten smart and used it. Too damn bad for them. Anyway, the gameplay is solid. Nonstop action. Shooting every which way just to stay alive. This may make you think that the game is unrealistic….yeah, IT’S NOT!!!! Take a couple well placed hits from any enemy and you’re dead, especially the mounted turrets. They created the game in such a realistic way that you MUST use your cover in order to survive. here’s no option. You either use it or you die. Which takes us to the OCS (offensive cover system). This enables u to get against basically any surface and use it as cover. When there, you can lean out and shoot accurately at your attackers OR you can use the newly created feature that works with the OCS: Blind fire. This is when you stick your gun out the side of your cover and fire it without looking. It keeps you from getting hit, but it is also about as accurate as something very inaccurate. But it helps many time throughout the game….MANY TIMES!!!! about 9 guns and 4 types of grenades. This game rocks mt f***ing socks. get it. It’s cheap and well worth the small amount u pay for it.

5 Stars A Solid Controller Through and Through
What is there to say, it’s fairly lightweight, responds well and does the job. Most people have used or at least felt a 360 wireless controller so there’s no need for an elaborate review. Solid controller, my favorite of all consoles in fact. Does that make me a fanboy? probably.
4 Stars Good Controller
Good Controller with Good battery life. Been playing controller for 2 weeks straight since Christmas and haven’t replaced batteries yet.
5 Stars What can I say? A great controller for a great system.
I never got to buying the original Xbox when it came out so long ago, probably because of the controller. However, the controller for the 360 is improved, with comfortable buttons, a nice grip, and wireless, which although needs batteries (I recommend recharagable unless you want to keep blowing your money,) from time to time, picks up great and is especially good for parties. The only downside is that the controllers cost a lot, especially if you love multiplayer, but overall, it’s worth a buy.
5 Stars only way to go is wireless
The only way to go is wireless. The controllers work well and have a good range. All buttons are in easy reach and feel good. Just be careful, the buttons are not spill proof. In a heated Gears of War battle, Jones soda was spilled on a controller but promptly cleaned up. Two buttons stick now. (my bad). I give this five stars for form, and function, and even duribility…I got a lot of hours on my set, they still work fine.
5 Stars Sons xbox 360 wireless controller
