Bits Studios and published byKemco for theMicrosoft Xbox ,Nintendo GameCube andSony PlayStation 2 in2003 . Compared unfavorably to the more established "Metal Gear" and "Splinter Cell " series, "Rogue Ops" was largely panned by critics and did not fare well commercially.In "Rogue Ops" the player assumes the role of Nikki Connors, an ex-Green Beret whose husband and child are killed by Omega 19, a brutal terrorist organization. She then joins Phoenix, an almost as brutal counter-terrorism organization to seek revenge.
The game's minimal marketing efforts dealt mainly with the attractive appearance of its computer-generated heroine. Due to poor retail sales, Rogue Ops saw its asking price drop from $49.99 to just $19.99 within a month of its initial release in the fall of 2003.
Gameplay
"Rogue Ops" is a third-person stealth-based action adventure title in the vein of
Tom Clancy 's "Splinter Cell " series. Many levels allow for a variety of tactics to be used, so often players may shoot everything that moves or simply sneak through entire missions. However, a few missions will require that no enemy alarms be set off, meaning players will have to dispose of enemies quietly and hide the bodies from detection. As in the "Metal Gear" and "Splinter Cell" series, a variety of spy gadgetry (fly cam,retinal scanner , etc.) and weapons (throwing star s,sniper rifle ,remote mine s, etc.) are used during the various missions, and hand-to-hand combat is involved during close encounters with the enemy.Reception
The game met with good reviews as well as bad, the Xbox version received the best reviews, the PS2 version received mediocre reviews, and the Gamecube version received the worst. [http://www.mobygames.com/game/rogue-ops/mobyrank]
