Synopsis

Rogue Warrior is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Bethesda Softworks for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was released on 26 November 2009 in Australia, 27 November in Europe, and 1 December in North America. In Rogue Warrior, the United States has sent in Richard Marcinko, a foul-mouthed veteran U.S. Navy SEAL, on a mission into North Korea to disrupt ballistic missile launchers during the Cold War. Despite the game being named after Marcinko's 1992 autobiography, the game's storyline bears no relation to it or to his subsequent series of fiction novels. Marcinko is voiced by actor Mickey Rourke. First announced in 2006, Rogue Warrior was originally being developed by Zombie Studios, and was set for a 2007 release. However, the game's release was delayed after Bethesda stated they were unsatisfied with the direction Zombie Studios was taking the game. Bethesda quickly scrapped the project and brought in Rebellion Development to develop an entire new game from scratch. Rebellion, while retaining some major elements from Zombie's rendition, has taken a whole new approach to the game and its focus. Rogue Warrior received negative reviews from critics. Criticism of the game included its uninteresting gameplay, poor controls, frequent profanity, rushed production, short length, limited multiplayer, and broken and exploited combat techniques. It has since been cited as one of the worst games ever made.
