Dick Marcinko: Rogue Warrior | Xbox 360

About the Game

Richard Marcinko , also known as Rogue Warrior, is a former member of the US Navy SEALs who became most famous for supposedly unveiling the so-called "Red Cell" operations which he and his team claim to have been covert missions against real-world terrorists. The game, however, takes place in North Korea and the UdSSR in 1986. In the role of Marcinko, players have to retrieve intelligence on ballistic missile launchers. And although his squad-members get killed right after entering the mission area, Marcinko continues alone with the mission, eventually uncovering and eliminating a larger threat against the US.

Gameplay & Core Systems

The game is a first-person-shooter with a bit of stealth thrown into the mix. Looking through the eyes of Marcinko, players can either sneak through the levels, using brutal kill moves or a silenced pistol to take out his enemies. Or he can run in guns blazing with the vast array of real-world-weaponry like the SPAS-12 shotgun or the AK-47 assault rifle although only two weapons can be carried at the same time. To help players from being hit, Marcinko can take cover behind objects. The camera then switches to a 3rd-person-shoulde-rview and allows players to either blind fire or duck out of cover to shoot the targets.

Standout Features

• Deathmatch: Another notable element is a multiplayer-mode for up to eight players in either Deathmatch or Team-Deathmatch on maps inspired but not directly copied from the single-player-campaign.
