Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader Reviews
He recently chose to use a monthly free movie/game coupon, that came with the gamecube, for a movie instead because he said he knew he'd want to play this game the most anyway. My 14 yr old loves this game.
The main problem for me is visibility: TIE fighters are tiny and almost impossible to see (especially in space battles), making taking them too much of a challenge. I was a fan of the first installment of Rogue Squadron, but I'm not impressed with where the series has gone. They added a targeting computer feature that helps a bit, but you lose points the longer you use the targeting computer. Overall, I found portions of this game to be fun, but they need to brighten up the graphics to make it more playable.
Anyway, great game, buy it, you won't regret it. There are also different views of the ship you are in, such as third person and cockpit views so you feel like you are in the game not just playing it. There are also medals and points you earn at the end of each level on how good you do (bronze,silver,or gold medals) and you can unlock "secret" levelswith those points. It has great graphics and sound.You can either play as Wedge Antellies or Luke Skywalker. Pretty good combination if you ask me. This game is a great game but it is kind of hard. There are a bunch of unlockable ships so the replay value is great. I would give it five stars but it is pretty hard (which is probably a good thing).
I love this game with the missions espaiclly the Battle of Endor because there are many tie fighters to shoot and you have to shoot tie bombers.The mission that is hard is Strike of the Core,because you have to protect the Millemiun Falcon all the time by the tie fighters.It's great game for shooting experts.
The detail it provides is amazing for the current generation of consoles. Appearantly I relied too much on the targeting computer (since I couldn't see anything) and would then be penalized for it. The Battlefront series has a much better Star Wars feel of battle and Knights of the Old Republic has an amazing storyline. No thank you. If you all have is a Gamecube and you want to play Star Wars, well, have fun. Graphically, there is probably not a better presentation on any home console to date.
Sadly, the Rogue Squadron series, in my opinion, has been a disappointment. Too often I found myself lost in space not knowing where to go or what exactly to do. In my opinion, in the console market, the best Star Wars are Battlefront, Battlefront 2, and Knights of the Old Republic. I often had trouble reading the scope at the top of the screen, would find myself flying sideways, or flying to far away from the action and then having the game reset my position. The final nails in the coffin. I love the overlaying of graphics with original movie footage.
The sound effects of the films are accurately represented and give a genuine feel of wild dogfights in space. I just can't handle having to babysit poor CPU A.I. If you have a PS2 and Xbox (for Knights) I suggest these three classics. Taking down AT-ATs (again) and those cursed escort missions. Sadly, it is the dogfigts that ultimately doomed this game and the series for me. The Positives.
while having to fend off hordes of TIEs and other assorted Imperial weaponry. Let me state from the get go that I am a huge Star Wars fan. I remember seeing the original Star Wars in the theaters (sans the "Episode IV" tag line) in 1977. The sound presentation is also spot on.
