The Ottawa Citizen takes a look at the Rogue Trooper video game:

Roaming a chemical wasteland has never been as much fun as it is in Rogue Trooper, from England’s Rebellion development studio.

The video game, available for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC from Eidos, is a spinoff from the British 2000 AD comic, which dates back to 1977. Judge Dredd is perhaps the comic’s biggest name, but for those who only know the character via the Sylvester Stallone film, don’t hold that against it.

Rebellion also worked on the previously released Judge Dredd vs. Death — which kind of sucked — and they saw Rogue Trooper as a second chance to do things right:

“We felt we didn’t do Dredd quite the justice that we could’ve done,” Alex Moore, lead designer on Rogue Trooper, said from Rebellion’s Oxford offices. “And it was a big aim right from the (start), to make sure that Rogue was much closer to the licence and please the fans a lot more. And in that respect, fans have loved it. It’s been great.

“The only real negative feedback that we’ve had is that it’s too short, which in a respect is good feedback because it means people enjoyed it.”
