Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II - Rogue Leader

Star Wars: Rogue Leader is a good game, but not the greatest. Full of nostalgia, especially the Death Star Trench Run, will leave you speechless. But after the nostalgic levels, it all starts going downhill. Only Level 1, 3, and 9 are really good, while a few others are OK, and the rest are just plain sucky. Now don't get me wrong, difficulty is fine, but I'm not a REAL Rogue Pilot, and I get tired of my ship being shot down 2 seconds into the mission. After Level 3, Get ready for the toughest battles this side of the galaxy as you bomb, steal, and get shot down countless times into a fairly tedious experience. OK, that covers Rogue Leader's wrongs. The controls, however, are fabulous, and the action, while tedious, sometimes gets freshened and provides for a good party or nostalgic experience. If you're looking for a breathtaking graphical experience, this is the game to show off to your friends. Star Wars: Rogue Leader is a good game, while not great. If you're a Star Wars fan or a fan of the Flight Sim genre, buy it. If you're a casual player looking for your first Gamecube game, give it a rent first. 7 out of 10.

The Best Star Wars Flight sim experiences of the famous movie battles as well as new missions still hold well. Played Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader very great game for me growing up and voice work By Bob Bergen (Duck Dodgers) as Luke Skywalker, Tom Kenny(SpongeBob SquarePants) as Biggs Darklighter, Peter McConnell (Little May) as Admiral Ackbar, Grey DeLeslie(Star Wars: Obi-Wan ) as Karie Neth, Obba Babatunde(Life)as Lando Calrissian And Denis Lawson(Star Wars ) as Wedge Antilles. Also while not tied to the legends books/comics has elements from them within its own continuity a solid launch title for the GameCube Console 10/10.

Rogue Leader was the first game I played for the Nintendo Gamecube. Sadly, it was a poor choice. I own the original Rogue Squadron and I really enjoy the game, so I figured this would be a great first rental. Right from the start though, I was disappointed.

Being new to the Gamecube, I hit the training mission. I figured I'd learn about all the cool abilities of the various crafts and how to best fight the Empire. Instead, I'm "treated" to a empty field with random training icons floating. Most are completely useless, such as "press A to fire. Good Job!!" A few are truly retarted. "You found a Jabba's Palace. GOOD JOB!!". If I had that computer tell me 'good job' just one more time... I would have thrown my controller down right then and there. So, annoyed, I quit and headed for the first mission...

Without any good explanation or reason, I'm suddenly fighting above the Death Star. Lasers are shooting everywhere, tie's are flying in every possible direction, and my wingmen are screaming at me for leadership. I liked it. I quickly pull up the targeting computer and take down a few ties. Then I order my wingmen to do the same, and set upon the mission's goals. It was a great mission, but random.

Next mission, I'm in an asteroid field. How on earth did I get here? No. never mind... it looks gorgeous, who cares. I'm blasting stuff, having a unconvinced but good time. Sadly, this doesn't last until mission 3. By mission 3 I'm bored, the gorgeous graphics die down to just standard locations, and the missions are very tedious. By the later levels, it was so easy to mess up a small detail and have to start over I said forget it, no more.

Rogue Leader( The game's name is too big ) is the first Star Wars game to Nintendo Gamecube.And it's the second best for me(For me, the first is Bounty Hunter, with Jango Fett).But it's P-E-R-F-E-C-T.This game has the most powerful graphics of the Gamecube.And this game is one of the firsts of the Nintendo 128-bit baby! The most part of the missions are scenes of the movies of the Old Trilogy, but you can pilot a N-1 Naboo Starfighter. The only bad thing of Rogue Leader is the small number of missions...but all the missions are so good that this weak point never disturbs me. My score for Rogue Leader is 9.5/10

Rogue Leader is one of the reasons to get a Nintendo Gamecube. The game is the fantastic sequel to the Nintendo 64 title Rogue Squadron that continues the adventures of Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles. Pilot several starfighters from the A-Wing to the X-Wing on several missions that span throughout the Star Wars trilogy. Players will get to be part of the key moments in the Star Wars films like the Death Star Trench Run and the Battle of Hoth among other missions. Being the leader, it's your job to give orders to your wingmen in order to succeed. Do you want them to take on the TIEs or the guns? Want them to form up, or flee? Tell them. Play through the game earning medals to unlock new missions and ships like the Millennium Falcon and the Slave I. The game features very good gameplay. Controls aren't difficult to learn and the missions range from easy to hard -- bringing on the challenges. The Star Wars elements are included like the famous introductions scrolling vertically in the galaxy. The Star Wars music we all know and love is present during key moments in missions. The visuals are downright great. You're in large environments with beautiful details like water. On the waters of Kothlis, the sunlight spreads about, and the colors are astounding. Then an AT-AT escapes a collapsed Star Destroyer and you'll note the amazing work done when its reflection is seen as it crosses to the beach. Earning medals and unlocking ships helps keep the replay value alive. Overall, Rogue Leader is an impressive launch title.
