This game is the reason that I purchased the Game Cube instead of the X Box. After playing it for the last week, I am not disappointed. The game is very cool. Graphics are amazing. The way that the laser fire lights up the surroundings. And the quick movement of the game are great. The Game Cube is not just for children.
Get a Cube and this game. It is tough to play, but many of the levels deserve to be played many times. Fun all around.
AMAZING!!

This is a definite must buy. If you don't have a Gamecube, get one just for this game. Do not listen to hobbester1. This game has awesome controls and much better graphics than most PS2 games. Anyway, this is a must have addition to anyone's gaming library. If this is showing of things to come, then this is gaming heaven.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader; a Good Game!

Hello! If you like Star Wars, like shooters, and enjoy beautiful graphics, good play control, and Nintendo's good name, I'd advise you to possibly get this game. It's somewhat like Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64, except better! Some of the stages are almost the same, except more detailed and well planned. In my opinion, it's hard at first, but when you practice more, it does become easier and better. Let me also say, I played some of the stages that were on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron today, and the stages in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader were more detailed, had better graphics, a little more to the mission, some changes, had better play control, and more exciting in my opinion!
AWESOME! A MUST HAVE !!!!!1

This is an action packed game! It's one of the best games for Gamecube yet. The graphics are pretty realistic. I think this game shouldn't be rated TEEN though, it's not very violent. It's 10x better than Rogue Squadron. If you like Rogue Squadron this will be your favorite game ever!!! I like it because you can move the pilot to different ships instead of toggling through all the ships.
IF YOU HAVE GAMECUBE GET THIS GAME!!!
IF YOU DON'T HAVE GAMECUBE, GET IT!!!!!!
The best star wars game ever maybe even the best game ever

im a big star wars fan, this game is better than the starfighter game for x box.this thing is the best its has great graphics and it could work with an hdtv digital signals. you could see the game perfectly without the annoying lines in front of you. i have the best three games for gamecube right now(smash bros and thps3) and this one is my favorite, i played all the star wars game on every system and this is my the best it has the new dolby pro logic 2 which gives it the best sound and reacts with the game like things that u should hear only on the left u will only hear on the left, i also own the original rougue squadron lets hear the diffrences the lasers on the original are slower and it took me like 3 min to desroy an at-st in leader it took me only 5 seconds to destroy because the lasers r much quicker and u command people in the game around well in rouge leader u cant play as the speedy v wing or the naboo fighter but u get to play as the b wing mellinium falcon boba fitts slave 1 tie advance and tie fighter people are whining that its too hard what do u think it should be harder i nearly got every gold medal in the orginal and i need a strtegy guide to help me get the gold medals it comes with an audio commentary u can listen to them while u play and comes with a short documentary they also have an audio test system that lets u hear if ur speakers are workin and a tie goes around to make sure they r workin properly hope i helped u make a good choice for a new GAMECUBE RULES
Awesomeness

This is a great addition to the Star Wars line up as well as the Game Cube line up. When you play this, it is almost like you are playing the movie.

this game is good but there is only 1 glitch. Nintendo totally cheated in making this!!!! it is Starfox 64 and Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire and a few new levels crammed into 1 game!!! the level that is the astroyd feild is just like the astroyed feild on starfox 64. And the battle of hoth is like the the battle of hoth on star wars: shadows of the empire. otherwise this is great if u get this game that might not bother you but it bothers me. the bottom line is if u have never played star wars: shadows of the empire or starfox 64 get it if u have played those games think twice.

While the gorgeous polygon models (taken directly from the special editions of the movies) can temporarily distract one from the lack of any perceivable gameplay in this stinker, one ultimately faces up to the unfortunate reality that it remains impossible to write a great game in the 9 months its programmers had to complete this. It's a tech demo disguised as a must-have launch title.
I was fooled by the numerous positive reviews into thinking this might be a half-decent Star Wars game (remember X-Wing and TIE Fighter? I do), but it reminds me of all the godawful on-rails shooters from the days of the 3DO. I can just imagine some Nintendo exec beaming "What we really need to launch with is an updated version of Rebel Assault, yes sir!"
The opening level of this game places you in the middle of the Death Star battle from episode IV. Sadly, there is no discernable "battle" in this level. Rather, one flies around blowing up inoffesnive grey towers that are shooting hundreds of pretty laser bolts at nothing in particular. They must be lonely or something.
Once you take out these towers of flashy pacifism, a bunch of defenseless TIE fighters appear on the scene and fly around randomly until you hunt them down and shoot them. This phase captures all the fun of going after fruit flies in the kitchen on a Summer's afternoon.
Finally, one is unceremoniously dumped into the Death Star trench. You are forced to remain in the trench and fly forward, avoid lots of grey obstacles that are difficult to see until they are right on top of you (nondescript grey things is a running theme in this game alas). After the game designer has decided you avoided enough obstacles, your so-called escorts are killed/driven away in a scripted event. Now, you must avoid the fire of three TIE fighters on your tail. Can you perhaps, turn around and take them on? Nooo..... Can you do much of anything except wait this one out? Nooo.... Then, the TIE fighters go away in boredom, and Darth Vader is now on your tail. Lather, rinse, repeat the previous TIE fighter attack until Han Solo arbitrarily shows up (just like the movie, golly) and Darth Vader goes away. Now you must patiently await the appearance of the unshielded thermal exhaust port and fire a proton torpedo.
And what's your reward for this? A bunch of frickin' canned footage from Star Wars of the Death Star exploding. I thought we got past this whole FMV thing back in the days of 3DO. Sadly, this is not the case. This game substitutes gameplay with a necrophiliac pillaging of footage from episodes IV-VI.
Some day, there will be another good starfighting game in the Star Wars universe. I wonder if any of us will live to see it.
even if you don`t like star wars!
