![]() From the original Star Wars Rogue Squadron game for the N64 (top) to the Rogue Leader sequel (bottom left) and the Rebel Strike finale, the Rogue Squadron trilogy is a STUNNING series of graphics, controls, and pure action. Rogue Squadron is a band of elite pilots formed by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star. In the first game in the series, the missions begin after the initial formation of the legendary squadron, beginning slowly and gradually advancing in difficulty. To really appreciate the first game, you need to already be familiar with the Nintendo 64's controllers, as well as have quick, trained reflexes and an intuitive mind, as enemies can turn around suddenly and attack in the blink of an eye. Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader revolutionized the thematic gameplay of the previous Rogue Squadron with faster and more detailed, advanced graphics and incredible gameplay capabilities, RS2 threw previous concepts of gameplay out the window. Beginning with an optional training scenario on Tattooine, or the Battle Of Yavin's attack on the first Death Star, then following the storyline of the movies, traveling between Yavin and Hoth. The Battle Of Hoth follows, eventually progressing through the game to the Battle Of Endor. Bonus missions on Rogue Squadron II take the player on a spin with the Dark Side, with Darth Vader in charge of wiping out the Alliance in two spin-offs. Who will win? YOU choose. And finally, Rogue Squadron III, subtitled Rebel Strike, is an eyes-wide-open approach to the events that take place between the formation of Rogue Squadron and the final battle above Endor, allowing a choice between two separate mission paths. The first maintains a fighter combat path, pitting you against the best of the Empire on several planets, and in space, while the second path puts you on the ground in a fight against the elite Stormtroopers... And more. From Mos Eisley to Endor, the Rogue Squadron games form an epic trilogy from one end of the galaxy to the other. I look forward to seeing these 3 games introduced as a single collector's edition in the future. Story: 9 (Star Wars, as expected. Could use a little more continuity between the games, however.) Gameplay: 10 (It only gets better.) Graphics: 8.5 (Brilliant, especially for the older N64.) Sound: 10 (You can't beat that Star Wars sound. )Controls: 10 (My N64 controls are crap... And I *STILL* rock with this game.) |

Definitely one of Lucasart's best game series. And unlike Battlefront and KotoR, they didn't kill the sequels.... Speaking of which, I'm currently working on The Force Unleashed. I'll probably review it when I'm done. |
