When I camped outside Wal-Mart for the night to get my GameCube, I was planning on getting Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. But they didn't have it so I bought Rouge Leader instead.
It turns out that was a good thing. This game is absolutely amazing. The graphics surpass anything I've seen. The control scheme is just a tiny bit akward, where people with small hands are to put their right index fingers is beyond me. Anyway, Thats a design flaw in the controller, not the game.
For parents: The game is rated T, for TEEN. But that is just for some minor violence. But dont fret, its nothing more serious than what is in the trilogy.
AWESOME GAME!!!

I got this game a year ago, and I've probably gotten more than a hundred unbelievably amazing hours, beaten every level, and still not won everything. That's a aign. The best Star Wars video game ever, and I'm on my knees begging for another sequel. The graphics are stunning, and so are very many other thing about this game. A reason to buy Gamecube.
best starwars game ever

this game is absolutely superb and it is an exclusive to nintendo too so shame to all the ps2 and xbox owners out there! The graphics are just eye-candy and the music and sound fx are great too and create a great atmosphere.It looks like this:
Visuals:10
Sounds:8.5
Gameplay:9

Not just for star wars and shooting game fans and should be an enjoyable game for gamers of all ages.

Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II. Wow. This game is amazing. Ever since I've had my GameCube I have had this game, and I still love it. It brings all the fun and excitement of the original Star Wars movies together with brand new cinematic elements, gameplay, and a totally new look.
I'll start with the graphics. This game has incredibly detailed models, with extremely high polygon ships and detailed backgrounds so real; you'd think it WAS real. Every time I play this game I am taken back into all those great Star Wars movies from the past. The game's overall presentation (graphics) is great, the detail is so fine even down to every little gun on a ship. The previous version of this game had great graphics for the system it was on, the N64. But the GameCube allows the sequel to exceed far belong anyone's expectations. It definitely exceeded mine, and I'm still wowed by this game whenever I experience it again or simply just look at the gameplay. It amazes me.
Next, the sound. Every single detail is included in this game in terms of sound. It uses the MusyX sound system, which provides crisp, clear, stereo-quality sound. The sound quality is nearly perfect; there is no recognizable static or unclear sound. The sound effects are not over-used nor under-used; it is just the right amount. The sound effects are one of the best parts about this game. Everything from the flash of lasers firing, to the explosions of ships that you have just demolished. It brings a much more satisfying feeling to you than just seeing the visuals.
The music in this game is also great. Nearly all the music has been re-recorded to complement the game. John Williams's masterpieces can make you hum the tunes over and over and over again. They are great, and the music is not over-used in the game either though. The music provides an excellent background for the game.
Now, the gameplay. The interface of the game is great, the menus can be easily navigated, and there are even clips from previous Star Wars movies playing in the backgrounds of the menus! The controls are absolutely perfect, no doubt about it. Although they can be fairly difficult at first, once you learn them, you will be a professional at the game! The ships are navigated just like a regular cockpit, and there is a cockpit view, too! The ships interact with each other in a great way, and the game is extremely fun! The AI in this game is absolutely incredible. The enemy ships actually act as if there is a highly intelligent pilot behind the "wheel". There is almost nothing that I would change about the gameplay in this game. It is highly enjoyable.
The value in this game is its only weak point. The longevity of this game is not as good as it should be. A multiplayer mode needs to be in this game. Once you beat the game, there's not a whole lot that you can do with it. There is the option of getting all the gold and platinum medals for every level, but that is so ridiculously hard that it hardly seems worth it. This game was at its peak fun level when I was still trying to beat all of the ordinary ten or so levels. There are five extra bonus levels, but they can only be obtained by getting a certain amount of the medals on the ordinary levels. WARNING: This game is fairly difficult and I recommend you should be at least eight years old to play it. Of course, younger kids could play it, but it would probably be very hard for them.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II is a great game. I recommend it to any hardcore gamer that likes this type of game and likes one player gaming. The only addition that I think there should be with this game is for a multiplayer mode. I think it would be perfect if it had this.
Overall, Rogue Squadron II is incredible. It brings back all the fun and excitement of the original Star Wars movies and puts these events from the movies into your control! Lucas Arts has put together an absolutely magnificent game. I hope this review can sway someone's opinion about the game.

Wow. This game is just awesome. Graphics, sound, gameplay, control. All just mesh together so well. It took a huge crew of top geniouses to create this game. I couldn't believe how great the explosions were, the music was, and the controls. You feel like you're in the game actually when you're playing it and that's what i call a perfect game. I can feel this game. The built-in rumble feature needs to be mentioned too. I didn't think this game would be as good as it was. I recommend you get it pronto.
BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is cool because its graphics are excellent. My favorite level is were you have to protect a commando squadron by bombing AT-PT and AT-AT. Trust me you HAVE to buy this game.
This is definitely for Star Wars fans!!!!!

This is WAY better than the N64 version, that is for sure. The combat in some levels can get pretty tight, seen most of the time when you've GOT TIE FIGHTERS SWARMING ALL AROUND YOU AND CLOSING IN ON YOUR BUTT!!! Aside from the regular game missions, there are 5 bonus missions yu unlock by getting medals (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) for meeting certain rquierments in the game, and the medals give you points for unlocking the missions. You can also unlock ships to to use on different missions, and the good part about those is that you don't use your points to unlock those. If you're one for cheating a lot in games, this is a code filled game. You can use many of the ships found in episodes 4-6, including the X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, Snowspeeder, Millenium Falcon, and the Cloud Car (only by switching ships on level 7.) You can also unlock the TIE Fighter, TIE Advanced, Imperial Shuttle, even the fast, heavily armored Naboo Starfighter from Episode I!! It's a great game, and I really think you should get it, even though it's rated T. It's only for the violence of blowing ships and ground complexes up!!
