* ObviousBeta: The game feels really unrefined, with a lot of unpolished mechanics, cheap-looking graphics and animations, and rather short levels.

* SirSwearsALot: Every third or fourth word out of Marcinko's mouth is a swear. Unfortunately, the excessive use of profanity is one of the reasons why the game is so bad. And want to know the funny bit? Marcinko's game counterpart still cusses '''less''' than in the original ''Literature/RogueWarrior'' novels!

* ExcusePlot: The plot is basically an excuse to have Marcinko go from one North Korean (and later Russian) facility to another, killing everyone who crosses his path.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Most of the soldiers cannot hear Marcinko coming towards them even when spouting sweary one-liners. They pay no attention to their bases being blown up and don't react to rooms that have suddenly had their lights cut out. They don't even notice Marcinko ''stood right in front of them'' even when the area is illuminated by lightning!

* EliteMooks: Spetznaz soldiers start appearing once the enemies switch from North Korean to Russians. They use somewhat more advanced tactics compared to regular Russian soldiers, such as fast-roping, and wear ballistic masks and body armor, but aren't noticeably tougher than regular Mooks.

!!This game provides examples of:
* EliteMooks: Spetznaz soldiers start appearing once the enemies switch from North Korean to Russians. They use somewhat more advanced tactics compared to regular Russian soldiers, such as fast-roping, and wear ballistic masks and body armor, but aren't noticeably tougher than regular Mooks.
* ExcusePlot: The plot is basically an excuse to have Marcinko go from one North Korean (and later Russian) facility to another, killing everyone who crosses his path.
* FollowTheLeader: The gameplay is basically identical to ''VideoGame/RainbowSix : Vegas'', only without the squad control element as Marcinko is entirely on his own.
* ItsAllUpToYou: Marcinko's team all get killed in the opening movie, leaving it up to Marcinko to finish the mission.
* LargeHam: Mickey Rourke really goes full ham voicing the foul-mouthed, HotBlooded Marcinko.
* RegeneratingHealth: Pretty standard for a modern shooter. Similar to the ''Rainbow Six: Vegas'' games, you actually can only survive a handful of bullets on Normal or Elite difficulty, so proper use of cover is pretty important.
* SirSwearsALot: Every third or fourth word out of Marcinko's mouth is a swear.
* TakeCover: The game has a third-person cover shooting system essentially identical to the one from ''VideoGame/RainbowSix : Vegas''.
