This game is filled with my opinion better graphics, gameplay, and freedom in the gameplay. The cinemas are outstanding and their are even more weapons and more stuff to choose from than in the previous game. There are more flawless and jaw-dropping enviroments even including a airplane hi-jacking. I think that this is one of the best games i have ever played. I strongly reccomend this if u liked the last game or delta force 2. BUY IT!

Overrrated, too difficult and hard to play.

This is a superb shooting game with lots of realism and strategy incoprorated. Graphics are great as is choice of team-mates and weaponary. I guess that it pretty realstic in a lot of ways as your team mates get in your way, and the terrorists are not as stupid as they are on some other games - they will shoot at you as soon as they see you. But there are times when you shoot at a terrorist and he doesn't die but shoots you instead. It seems to be a problem with the game. There are lots or really weird glitches too. You see dead terrorists levitating and half of them stuck through walls and their legs hanging down through the roof etc. I find it irritating that the designers take so much care to make tyres go down when you shoot them, and different sounds when you shoot a bed or a window, but then so little detail is given to other aspects such as the lights which don't go out if you shoot them. I have never seen lights like that. "Goldeneye" has lights that pop so why doesn't this? A lot of this game is just too difficult to win at. In addition, you get a mission such as the one at the datcha where you must avoid detection - this is really difficult. The idea is to plant a bug and a camera and leave as though you've never even been there. You can go round and shoot al the windows out and still complete the level...and no one will notice that there are windows missing, glass everywhere and bullet holes in the walls? My point is, if you are going to go for realism then go all the way, or not at all. My low rating for this game is due to the problems I have had playing it on the PC. I think it's a game with really great potential, but you end up waiting all the time while the computer makes grinding sounds which freeze your action, but while you are frozen it really impedes playability and you end up getting shot because you can't react. Unplayable due to this, and I have a powerful computer, so that's not the problem. This is overambitious for the PC market, and there are things that need rethinking to make it a better game.

Rogue Spear is an exciting version of realistic special ops teams in the line of fire. You are commanding the head officer of a team. Before each mission you slowly plan each AI team members' actions, from throwing a grenade, to sniping.
Overall, this game was a hit for the producers. It has many glitches in it, but it is still a great game for shooting adicts world-wide. I also enjoy this game online. It is a favorite for online gamers too. I would rate this a four, because of the glitches and that playing it online bites if you have 56K. Besides that it is great!

cool game

Everyone who likes shooters should buy this game IT'S SO MUCH FUN
AND EASY TO BEAT. Even if you are bad at this game you can use codes like god or invisibility. Like you need codes it's already easy enough. But isn't sniping, recon and raiding missions awesome. I gave this a 4 because it's to short, needs better graphics, more enemies in levels, and it needs to be less messed up. Watch out the replays don't work sometimes it says your killing tangos even though your shooting at a wall!!!!!!!!!!!

Best 1st Person Shooter ... Period!!

While far from perfect, I've never seen a videogame handle firearms and close combat any better than this one.

Graphics are very good, AI is fair and weapon selection fairly decent.

I'd love to see this same engine in a WWII 1st-person shooter.

let me go straight to the point.
idea is great but the technology that bring this game to you
will un doudtedly make speak ill of this company if you have
voodoo or slow pc.
it only uses d3d .
thats even worse than "quake1".
d3d is extremely
cpu dependent...at least quake1,2 had a very fast 2d graphics
but rogue spear's 2d is as bad as the rainbowsix original's.
when you in stall the whole thing in to the rogue spear folder
it will install 9800files + some more. with the same hard ware i could play counter strike or q3 with lesser fragmentation of the
hdd... and it's painful to wait for the win98se to defrag when there is extra 9800files in a single directory with many more sub directories.
d3d is bad... opengl,glide is good.
but if u have geforce2mx or faster nvidia graphics cards with fast cpu go ahead it was made for you..but do not forget 9800files in your hdd. if u have small or slow hdd get away from this game.
first person anti-terrorism.
planning in group level with total control over the three side groups...cool.

minimum hardware requirement is
p2-400 128mb ram geforce 2 mx or tnt2m64 (32mbsdram)
fast hdd (very fast and stable )
and ...alpha,bravo,charlie,delta.

Stay away

Crashes all the time and freezes the computer (900 MHz, 512 MB RAM, GF2-64 MB). Red Storm admits that "technical issues" exist with NVIDIA cards, but offers no solution. It turns out that the same "issues" exist with some sound cards. Reading the red storm`s FAQ I found that the same problems happen to all their action games meaning they use for years the same buggy game engine without improvement. Probably at red storm they think the hardware should be optimized for the game. Wrong. Try to write better software, guys. Never had such problems before with any other game.
From the few missions I was able to play: graphics is OK, the AI is weak. The gameplay is somewhat dumb, you can`t play a new mission if you have not succeeded the previous one. And some missions are extremely hard to pass because the terrorists kill the hostage immediately if they see or hear you. If the hostage is killed, you have to start over from the very beginning. But this is ridiculous, of course in the ideal mission no hostages should be harmed but in the real life they often are, unfortunately. Communications with the elements and giving orders are useless.
Strongly recommend SWAT 3 instead.

An exxelent video game but not perfect

This game is good. Good things. The fun facter is wonderful. It has a ton of complex features and planning. The story line is wonderful. You get to nearly completely custimize your entire team. They have special classes and skills. Your missions are very different and unique. There are unlimited ways to complete your mission adding a strong point to the replay value. The story is well told and interesting. They are in real world locations.You've A arsenal of weapons and gadgets and body armer to custimize your men and women with. The game game is very realistic. If one of the men dies in a mission you can't use him in another mission he is dead. If a person is incapicated in battle you cannot use this operative in another mission for a certain amount of missions till he or she heals. Also you can be wounded this happends eather if you are wounded in battle or you were incapicitated and know you are nearly healed. When you are wounded you can go into battle but have loss to your skills. Types of soilders are Assault Recon Demolitions Electronics Sniper they have skills fitting their type. tYpes of missions include preventing a nuclear meltdown recon planting explosives capturing an enemy leader rescuing hostages nuetrilizing a group of terrorists and busting a arms deal prevent terrorists from escaping from a bust. You and your teamates have a realistic amount of health excluding bodyarmer you have as much health as the badguys. You can custimize down to the bullet you use in planning. Nuetrel things. The enemy AI isn't that good. Enemies aren't very smart they don't really pay attention to their surronding killing them is easy. They will run from a grenade and set off a alarm but they could just be standin around not awear of anything until he sees you. So if you are behind him or near him in a position where if he just looked around he'll see you but he dosen'tlook around. This dosen't count for patroling enemies. When an enemy sees you he just walk towards you firing not ducking or hiding behind a wall. If you capture a enemy captain which you have to do in a mission he'll sound just like a hostage you are rescuing. Acting like they were rescued as prisoners not being captured as a prisoner. Bad things. Your team AI sucks they will will just stand there cluelessly unless you tell them to do something or you make them have a plan which they will follow like rbots only shooting enemy and doing what they are told. They basicly don't think for themselfs. You can shoot at one he'll stand there doing nothing and your other teammates won't even notice that their coleege is getting killed.Also it is loadeed with bugs and graphicel gliches enemy's go through walls. You get cought in graphics allot. Voices and music slur crackel. Enemies sometime float around or the body's are lieing firmly in mid air. I'm giving it 4 stars because even though it has some problems it is a really good game any realistic anterrorism shooting game fan would like it.

A Good Distraction

Rogue Spear is quite entertaining, and gives you a good mix of an action and strategy game. I have 2 complaints:
1. Graphics engine could use work...characters feet go through solid objects etc.
2. AI team members can be unreliable. In several of the game's 18 missions, I and my team complete our task, only to have the mission botched by some AI...
But, all in all, a decent game. I would recommend it.

Its Good

Ok I bought this game almost a year ago and I still play it but it does get tiring. The best thing about the game is when you play online at the zone it is worth it but now I am sick of it.

I put a 3 ecause I am tired of playing it now but when I first got it it would have been a 5. If you want details then it has good graphics no problems and thats all.
