Sonic Adventure 2
Rouge first appears in Sonic Adventure 2 as the treasure-hunting character of the Dark Story. She also drives a car in one level. She fights the boss Flying Dog (a GUN robot), and her rival, Knuckles who saved her from falling into the lava pit. In the last level, Cannon's Core, Rouge is the third of five characters to go through the level and is given Shadow's ring cufflink by Sonic after the defeat of the Final Hazard.
Sonic Heroes
In Sonic Heroes, Rouge is the captain and flight member of Team Dark. She releases Shadow from his stasis pod, and (accidentally) activates E-123 Omega, who attempts to destroy all of Eggman's robots, including Shadow, who Omega thinks is a robot clone. Rouge stops Shadow and E-123 Omega from fighting, suggesting that they work together as a team to find Eggman.
Sonic Battle
In Sonic Battle, hers is the third story to be played. She is the owner of Club Rouge in the Night Babylon area (no relation to the Babylon Rogues from Sonic Riders). Most of her fighting techniques appear to be derived from kickboxing. She plans to use her position as a government agent to gather information on valuable treasures. She steals Emerl from Amy Rose, in order to train him as a master thief to steal more jewels for her. She fights with Amy numerous times, increasing the tension between the two. Rouge teaches Emerl to fight, evade capture, and pick locks. Rouge then uses Emerl to steal a Chaos Emerald (which he absorbs, much to Rouge's displeasure). At the end of the game, when Emerl thanks Sonic and his friends/acquaintances for taking care of him, Rouge is only mentioned in the Japanese version.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Rouge also appears in Shadow the Hedgehog, and helps on hero missions in the Digital Circuit, Death Ruins, and GUN Fortress levels. In Expert Mode, her voice can be heard at the beginning of Cryptic Castle, Lava Shelter (along with Omega's) and The Last Way (along with the voice of every other character that appears in Expert Mode).
Sonic 2006
In Sonic the Hedgehog, Rouge appears as an occasionally-playable "Amigo" character. At the start of Shadow's story, she had gone on a mission to recover an item from Eggman's base, and Shadow is sent by GUN to help her escape. After being rescued, Rouge then works with him for most of the game and helps find the Chaos Emeralds to revive Sonic in the Last Story.
Abilities
Rouge, as a treasure hunter, has similar treasure hunting skills to those of her rival Knuckles (with the exception that she has a strapping lower body as opposed to his muscular upper body). Her signature attacks are powerful martial arts kicks. Rouge can fly and glide with her wings, and her flying speed is able to keep up with other speedy characters like Knuckles and even Sonic and Shadow (though she is not as fast as the supersonic hedgehogs). She can also climb and dig quite well. In many games, Rouge makes use of different advanced technologies and weaponry. However these are mostly game specific.
Shadow
Rouge is Shadow the Hedgehog's closest friend. When they first met, Rouge was assigned by the President to spy on Dr. Eggman and learn more about Project Shadow. Their original professional attitudes later changed, with Rouge growing to care for Shadow's well-being. A few times she also becomes a "damsel-in-distress", usually causing Shadow to end up saving her. But Rouge has also returned the favor a couple times as well. Additionally Rouge has shown that she is quite sensitive toward Shadow's feelings and has declared her loyalty to stick by him regardless of the circumstances. She has never shown any frustration over Shadow's mysterious and sometimes sarcastic personality, showing she accepts him as he is.
