Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron takes place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes back (except for some bonus levels). Each of the game's 15 regular missions requires Rogue Squadron, an elite group of rebel pilots, to complete a unique task. Goals in a mission include guarding supplies, destroying tibanna gas, and raiding an Imperial space port. You can fly X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, V-Wings, Snowspeeders, and, with cheats, a Naboo Starfighter, an AT-ST, a car, the Millennium Falcon, or a Tie Interceptor (my favorite).

Rogue Squadron does have some advantages. All of the starfighters have their own, unique abilities and different speeds. Also, there is an immense variety in the levels; no two levels are the same.

However, Rogue Squadron has many, many problems. First of all, multiplayer is mysteriously missing. Perhaps the biggest problem in the game is that you can never see anything that is not immediately in front of you. Any object that is not extremely close to your ship is invisible. At-Ats and mountains will suddenly appear right in front of you. Also, the lasers that you fire take forever to reach any target. You can typically fire at least five shots before any reach their target. This results in the lowering of your accuracy because you'll fire more shots than you need to hit targets, and the extra shots will be counted as misses. Also, there is never any way to identify who is who during the missions. If you see another friendly ship, it could be any member of Rogue Squadron. Finally, the medals are rather hard to earn. You can get a bronze, silver, or gold metal during each level. To earn a medal, you must have completed the mission quickly, destroyed nearly every enemy, have high accuracy, find a powerup, and protect most of the allies. These are way too many requirements; it's simply not fun to try to fulfill them all.

Still, it's almost worth earning the medals because they unlock the bonus levels. The three bonus levels are a lot more fun than the regular levels, and the best is the Death Star Trench.

StarFox 64 is basically what Star Wars: Rogue Squadron should have been. It corrects just about all of the problems in Rogue Squadron. Overall, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is fun for a little while but is too heavily flawed.

I am playing that game since about six weeks now, and i haven't even passed to the finish of it ... But that doesn't matter IMHO, i think this is one of the best games ever released (after Zelda64 of course :-)) The game control itself could be a bit more logic, but the fast and high-resolution graphics as good as the almost perfect sound of it. I only say: If you have Nintendo64 - Buy it, or you'll miss something.

Star Wars video games is some of of the neatest video games! The characters, the creature, the action, music and the sure thrill of excitement makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the N64 system! The backgrounds are really beautiful!

Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

Overall: I have always loved Star Wars: Rogue Squadron! If you like excellent shoot em up games that has excellent flight battles and more then I strongly recommend you play this game!

Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the PC and N64 was a very great game when it first came out in 1998, because the game offered something that most people have never seen in a video game-creating graphics, sound, and controls that were out of this world during the N64 Era. While the game is no longer really an extremely amazing experience, because if you compare mostly the graphics to the video games today, it really doesn't look so good. But back when it was new, critics said it looked fantastic, because people back then didn't have the graphics we have today on the Gamecube and Wii. And the reason I wrote this review was because I really love the game a lot, and have some warm memories with it, because it is still fun to play on all of the exciting missions in the game. If you like Star Wars or any kind of fighter-pilot games, this game is definitely worth checking out (and you are probably going to have go online to buy the game, since most stores don't sell it anymore).

Rogue Squadron was originally launched in N64 in 1998(The best N64 year, because of Ocarina of Time, Turok 2...). It had good graphics, great dubbing and pure ACTION! There are more than 15 missions.With this, the Replay factor goes to infinite! In each mission you can earn a Bonus Item(Such as Advanced laser, Advanced Shields and others) and a Medal.It can be Gold, Silver or Bronze. The amount of medals you collect will give you a pilot job, such as Lieutenant, Cadet, Trainee and many others. And there was many starships.There was X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, V-Wing(???), Y-Wing, Snowspeeder and A-Wing.You could even earn two secret crafts, the N-1 and the TIE Interceptor.You could even use passcodes to play in an AT-ST course, or transform the V-Wing into a Cadillac! Curiosity:This game was even launched to PC in 1999.
