This is the best game that LUCAS ARTS have made yet.It has the best graphics perfect sound and evry Rebel fighters and all of the Empires fighters.You take in legendary STAR WARS missions such as the attack on the DEATH STAR and the defense of the Ice Planet Hoth.

ROGUE LEADER is AMAZING!

FIRST OFF THE GRAPHICS ARE STUNNING AND THE GAMPLAY IS GREAT! It controls like a dream and the war is great. THe battle from the movies are so cool and the way TIE fighters now explode is great pyrotechnics. SOunds are great and just everything is sensational. This game is one of the greatest games ever made! Wingmen commands are also super cool. Other games don't really have wingmen. This adds a slight realism. Playing as the ace-pilot Wedge Antilles is also very cool. My cons are only in the TIEi fighters, They are too sutpid. When I first played battle of ENDOR, I six TIE fighters crashed into me. I survived but that was just crap. Also the wingman don't do much except maybe knock out ten or fifteen TIE fighter before the level ends. They fly awkwardly and fire at enemies too slowly. The other Rebel pilots that are not your wingman don't do anything expcet take up space. They should be just like your wingman and actually do something. Also, again, you fight hundreds of TIE ifhgtrs and other ships alone. You do most of the work and destroy lik hundreeds of enemies. Not too realistic on that matter. The Imperial levels are great. Destroying X-wings and Y-wings and even A-wings is fun to do. THIS GAME IS GREAT!

Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II

This game was great. Unlike the original Rogue Squadron, it was much more realistic from a graphics point-of-view. The controler was much easier to use then some of Nintendo's earlier models. There was no "learning" time needed to use it as there was with the Super Nintendo and N64. The game play was superb and manuverability excellent.

Not my type of game, but may be a big hit for you

Games with the Star Wars name have rarely been disappointing, going all the way back to the days of the Atari 5200. Even with primitive raster graphics, that Star Wars game sucked in thousands upon thousands of kids and mesmerized them. These days, with graphics that are light years ahead of the old 5200, the entire experience can be that much more enjoyable. Sadly for me, I had more fun watching this game than playing it.

I will qualify this review for you - I am not very good at flying games. I am much better at sports games, strategy games, and an occasional adventure here and there. Even driving games weren't my style until Gran Turismo 3 came along for the PS2. Like my experience with SSX for the PS2, this game came as part of a bundle, and it wasn't one I thought I'd really enjoy. Unlike SSX, Rogue Squadron II has failed to draw me in.

If you've played Rogue Squadron on the N64, you'll have an idea of what to expect - pick a specific ship, choose your mission (in this version, you start with two choices, a training mission and your first real one), and complete your objectives to earn a medal and unlock the next objective. Do better at the same mission and earn a better medal. Get enough medals and other good things happen. Simple enough to explain, and easy enough to follow. The early missions spell out your objectives fairly well, although there may be more details that you'll need to learn as you proceed.

The graphics are excellent, from the shadows of your craft on Tatooine, to the dogfights over the Death Star with asteroids floating in the background, to the recreation of scenes from the various movies in the Options menu. If you are watching, you'll definitely get your money's worth. If you're playing, you'll need to remind yourself to stay focused.

The game play is well done, too - you'll find yourself leaning to one side or another to avoid oncoming TIEs, leaning back to pull up as you barely avoid crashing into the side of Beggar's Canyon, and wondering how the heck you're supposed to keep track of 20 enemy craft, space objects, and numerous enemy ground support. Don't worry, though, because you'll get help on some missions. As in previous games, you can ask your wingmen to stay in formation with you or pursue other objectives as you take care of business yourself. I didn't have too much trouble directing them with the D-pad, but you will have to make sure that you don't suddenly swing to the side and see one of them in your sights.

The game play is good, all right - too good for me. In the first mission, flying through the trench in the Death Star proved to be costly again and again. I found myself consistently burning up my three ships (you can die up to three times before your game is over, although dying too many times will jeopardize your chances at better medals) trying to move up and down around the obstacles while avoiding the lasers from Darth Vader and his helpers. The various craft respond a little too realistically for my taste, and in the training mission on Tatooine, I found myself cursing the controls as I tried unsuccessfully to keep up with Wedge and Biggs, watching their computer-controlled craft easing past me race after race. Perhaps some of it is simply my being accustomed to the response of a car on the road - much less inertia and much more control.

In any event, I found it difficult to sit down and play the missions again and again. One of the drawbacks or challenges to the multi-part missions is that you have to complete all the parts to finish the mission. Make it through the first two, fail the third, and you're back to square one. It reminds me a bit of Dark Forces on the PC, which was infamous for its exceedingly long levels later in the game that provided no save opportunities until they were completed.

Again, though, this was based strongly on personal preference. If you are a fan of Star Wars, air combat games, or both, you'll probably love this game. In any event, if you're getting a GameCube bundle, you're not going to have much choice. The advantage in a seller's market is that you can certainly sell it if you don't want to keep it! However, you may find that hanging in there and playing through it will make it worth your while. As for me, I'm getting back in my RX-7 LM Race Car.

Great graphics marred by poor gameplay

The developers hired by LucasArts did a fantastic job at making this game, graphically, everything you want a Star Wars game to be. The effects are spectacular, period. Unfortunately the gameplay is too complicated for most gamers (unless you are a diehard Star Wars fan), and it immediately takes away the fun. I recommend you rent the title first to see if you like it.

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!!

Rogue Leader is by far the most realistic Star Wars game out there. The graphics are stunning to say the least, and the in-game movie clips are awesome. Also, there are lots of space battles instead of ground missions, which was one of the faults of Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo. Its like watching the Star Wars films, except you get to control the action by taking over the roles of Rebel heros such as Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antillies, and even Han Solo. To me this combination of graphics, play control, and thrilling adventure makes Rogue Squadren II the best game for GameCube. Buy it and have fun re-living the the Star Wars movies in a whole new way.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Totaly awesome! This game is the reason that I'm getting the Gamecube at all! This game is a must have for any Star Wars fan. If you don't get it, than you're not really a Star Wars fan. It looks exactly like the movie. The detail on the Star Destroyer looks spectacular! I love this game! If possible, I'd give it ten stars!
