I just rented this game and i was surprised it wasn't what i thought it would be, the graphics are great,the sound is good, but the fun factor is not all that great, overall i would give it a 7/10.This game is still worth a rent.

Awesome Graphics.

This a game of the Star Wars. Known as a good movie and even better game. The graphics are the one of the best for gamecube. The best jet is the X- Wing or the Millemuiem Falcon. Much better graphics the first Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. A complicated and fun game...

Hard, but a great game!

This game is a great game but it is kind of hard. It has great graphics and sound.You can either play as Wedge Antellies or Luke Skywalker. Pretty good combination if you ask me! There are a bunch of unlockable ships so the replay value is great. 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. 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! I would give it five stars but it is pretty hard (which is probably a good thing). Anyway, great game, buy it, you won't regret it.

This game's great! A classic that you'll never want to stop playing!!! I personally like this because it brings you through the classic battles like: THE BATTLE OF HOTH, and DEATH STAR ATTACK!!!

You play as Luke Skywalker as you pilot lots o' ships, blow up Tie- fighters, Tie-bombers, Star destroyers and Walkers. The graphics and sound are much too good for such an early game. (NOTE:Get a lot of medals so you can access the music hall!)

The only flaw I'd say is the length of it. It's too short, the missions are really fun but you finish it very quickly... I'd still recommend this game still though because you will sometime have an urge to play it. Don't sell it! You're going to regret that for it's a game you can play over and over again.

Great game...but Biggs still dies

I can still remember the shrieks of rage that erupted from my brother when Biggs got shot down in the first assault on the Death Star. His emotion seemed a little excessive, but then again, he always took his Star Wars pretty seriously. His rage must have left an impression, however, because I bought Rogue Leader thinking I could rewrite Star Wars history and save Biggs. While I'm happy to report that the game is great fun and faithfully recreates many of the enormous space battles of the first three movies, I could not save Biggs. He was, as I always feared, merely an extra...and doomed to be cannon fodder.

I didn't find the tutorial mission to be much help (though you do get to bulls eye womp rats); it was more exploration than instruction. You're probably better off just jumping into the first mission that pits you, Luke Skywalker, piloting your trusty X-Wing as Red five, against the original Death star.
It looks right out of the movie and really sets the mood for the game. The first two parts of this first mission are basically tutorial as you attack cannon towers and hapless tie fighters that rarely shoot back or do much in the way of evading. You're able to give your wingmen commands to do a number of things and they're pretty effective at carrying out orders. The only difficulty in the mission comes when Darth Vader appears with a guard of Tie Interceptors, wounds Wedge, and then blows Biggs away(*sniffle*). You must, as Obi-Wan's spirit guides,'..Use the force, Luke' to finish off the Death Star. You all know the rest.

Each mission gives you three lives to complete the three-part missions. After each successfully completed mission, statistics are compiled and medals are awarded (or not awarded) according to your proficiency. Each medal is worth points and can be used to unlock alternate fighters and missions. Each mission also has upgrades hidden somewhere in the map which can be used to upgrade ships' components. It is worth noting that the missions jump rather radically in difficulty so that by the third mission, you're up against a Star Destroyer and cursing blasted Wedge for not backing you up. If you could clone Porkins, I'm sure he'd die in every mission.

The mission difficulty is probably the most frustrating aspect of the game, but also the most rewarding. One minute you'll be cursing the game and its makers and trying to restrain yourself from smashing the controller and then suddenly realize some new tactical strategy that lets you finish the mission. I will say that the final mission is simply too difficult--realistic, but too difficult. I beat it after much pain and cursing.

The technical aspects of the game are very well done. The controls are responsive and every craft feels very different to pilot. There are also several views (inside cockpit, just behind fighter, far back of fighter, and bombing view for those fighters that are capable) and each viewpoint has advantages and disadvantages. The graphics are some of best to be seen on the Cube to date--up there with Resident Evil and the like. The missions that recreate battles from the movies look exactly like their movie counterparts. I also didn't encounter any glitches or bugs while playing this game.

The audio is terrific and appropriate for a Star Wars game. The staple soundtrack and sound effects are right out of the movies. The voice acting was the most surprising, as any spoken dialogue not taken directly from the movies is voiced by actors who do a convincing job of imitating the stars. The replacement voice for Lando (Billy Dee Williams) was especially convincing.

In all, Rogue Squadron II faithfully recreates the major battles of the Star Wars movies in all their difficulty and technical brilliance-just be prepared to see Biggs die...again.

Awsome game. I would say that this game is very emersisive game. But mostly for the avid star wars fan. This game has very awsome graphics that few games can beat. So if you're into star wars buy it know.

Great Game

Good game with great graphics and challanging game plan make it a good game.

Excellent, but leaves you wanting a little more.

I can't find anything that stands out as being bad about Rogue Squadron, which was one of the first titles released on the Nintendo Gamecube. It has many good things going for it, not the least of which is its Star Wars license, which is put to excellent use. From the menus, which feature video from the classic trilogy, to the sound effects (ripped straight from the films) to the plot (which starts at the end of Star Wars and goes through to the end of Return Of The Jedi), it's all there.

The game's easy to pick up and a lot of fun. The missions aren't incredibly difficult to get through, though earning gold medals on all of them is next to impossible, at least before you've found all the hidden powerups and unlocked some of the extra ships. Some of the requirements are a little *too* stringent, if you ask me -- why include the targeting computer, and a powerup that lets you keep it on all the time, if you're *not* supposed to use it? Also, to kill enough enemies to earn a gold medal on most missions, you have to get rid of your wingmen, which removes the whole appeal of *having* wingmen in the first place. There are also levels where it's too easy to lose (or miss a medal) because you made a simple mistake. When a mission takes 10-15 minutes to complete, that gets real annoying real fast.

In any case, I can't say this is a *bad* game; it just didn't jump out at me as one of my favorites. The lack of a multiplayer mode (being remedied in its upcoming sequel, which is supposed to have cooperative multiplayer) might be part of it. It could also benefit from more of an overarching storyline (like in the X-Wing games on the PC) -- each mission feels disconnected from the others. Part of the problem is also that I had the first Rogue Squadron on the N64, and this feels like mostly the same game with better graphics. I'm holding out hope that Rogue Squadron III will improve on all these areas.

A solid game, and at the prices you can get it for now, I'd recommend it to any Star Wars fan. Otherwise, rent it first before you plunk your cash down.

This game is a must for any "Star Wars" fan. The Game Play is awsome, graphics nice. Great Ship selection if you can unlock them or just get the passcodes.

One of the better Star Wars titles....

It's one of the better Star Wars titles, but that's not saying much. It has sleek graphics, somewhat entertaining gameplay with easy to get used to controlls. If you like Star Wars games then you might want to try this one. Other than that, it's nothing groundbreaking, and if anything, it's more of the same.
