As this game came out back in the last generation, I always thought about getting it. Don´t ask me why I didn´t, because I don´t remember. Now it was released on Nintendos Wii, and I took my second chance. First of all - it´s still the same game. Just two things changed: the controls of course and some grafic elements. Water effects look more now like in actual games and some textures are polished. Some professionell testers wrote about the explosions, but I don´t see an upgrade on them.

Rogue Trooper creates a very dark atmosphere, based on the setting and the mean character. Rogue is a guy you really don´t wanna meet. I liked a lot the little animations around him, when I had to use first aid or did a weapon change. You see every move. For example, the first aid is a metal arm coming out of your backpack and giving you a injection. Then the arm gets back into the backpack. If you don´t use Gunnar (the rifle) its always on your back.

Aiming and shooting is similar to most Wiishooters, except grenades are a little tricky, but after a while i figured it out. The game offers you two choices: play Rambo or ply Sam Fisher. Sneaking around becomes more important on higher difficulty levels, every coregamer should start Rogue Trooper on HARD, not on Normal. There is one difficulty level to unlock, MASSACRE, and on this one you have to use all your equipment, which grows more and more in the game.

The game entertains you around 10 good hours. It´s a good option for Wii players who are tired of awful ports like the BiA: Double Time.
