- It's an open world like Just Cause 2's – albeit from a dinkier perspective and with much less interaction. But it seems to have a different target audience in mind: during Renegade Ops' opening cutscene, the evil tyrant Inferno threatens the cities “where your children go to school”. The kids of 1993 are old enough to care about the fate of their sprogs now, and have fewer spare hours for lengthy timesinks. Fortunately, Renegade Ops' short-term sessions are still a complete blast.
Henry Winchester · Nov 24, 2011 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It’s worth mentioning that all the cutscenes and incidental dialogue in the game are portrayed in beautiful motion comics, and it really adds to the stylish nature of the game. There are even points throughout some levels where you have to enter a base - a picture of a few guards looking surprised pops up. As you hammer X to fill up a meter, the picture changes to show them being punched, kicked, and defenestrated before you pull a lever or place a bomb.
Robert Zwetsloot · Oct 05, 2011 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Observing as your main weapon transforms from an efficient 'pew-pew' like machine gun into a full-blown 'blumba-blumba' cannon is much more of a treat that it should be, and it's thanks to Avalanche's brilliant visual design and efficient controller response that Renegade Ops provides such a satisfying shooting experience.
Sammy Barker · Sep 23, 2011 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - That's the game in a nutshell, really: a brief hit of retro goodness that loses its enchantment all too soon. If you're looking for a demanding blast from the past, Renegade Ops will sort you out for a week or two; just don't expect to be playing it for much longer than that.
Neon Kelly · Sep 22, 2011 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Leaderboards encourage you to strive for high scores, and in a nice touch, if you beat a friend's score in the middle of a mission, you're informed of your victory with a message along the bottom of the screen. But it's the tight controls, the joy of movement, and the satisfaction of seeing stuff blow up real good that make Renegade Ops great. Someone's got to step up and defeat the forces of Inferno, and you won't regret being the one to do it.
Carolyn Petit · Sep 21, 2011 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Renegade Ops is something of a one trick pony, and the endless high-octane action loses its potency after a few hours, especially when playing alone. It’s ultimately a small complaint about a game that knows what it is and isn’t afraid to go all in on the concept. Plus, any tedium can be alleviated by teaming up with a friend in split-screen co-op, or up to four players online.
Matt Miller · Sep 20, 2011 Reviewed on PS3, X360 - Renegade Ops is adequate for what it attempts to be, but it's more conformist than the title suggests. Even the game's mission objectives struggle to summon interesting tasks after a while, resulting in the staunch General Bryant asking you to collect artifacts which he has determined belong in a museum.
Ludwig Kietzmann · Sep 20, 2011 Reviewed on X360 - Renegade Ops reminds us a video game doesn't need much to be fun. Give us a war machine and stuff to blow up and we'll soon be enjoying ourselves. This operation looks great and provides lots of amusing, '80s action movie thrills.
Daemon Hatfield · Sep 20, 2011 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Fantastic environments, explosions, and weapons make for an experience that is fun to play solo but better with friends. However, the game is around 3-4 hours to complete and the online is the same maps from the single player that can become way too easy as the game doesn’t jack up the difficulty for the amount of players that are taking part.
Cameron Teague · Sep 19, 2011 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - The game looks darn good, considering it's downloadable and uses an overhead perspective. There's so much height to some of the maps, as you drive through canyons and over hills and such, that the terrain closer to the camera blurs out with a depth-of-field effect. More importantly, everything explodes real nice. This is a game about nonstop, total destruction of everything around you, so it's a good thing Avalanche knows how to do fire and explosions with such style.
