The must have game for 2002! This is one of the launch titles for Gamecube and the graphics will blow you away! You fly X-wings, A-wings, B-wings, Snowspeeders, and BONUS Craft that you will obtain by completing certain goals. If you have all four Star Wars N64 games then you have to get this one. Even if you have Star Wars Starfighter for PS2 you should by a Gamecube just for this game! Their are 11 missions plus extra bonus missions. Long live the Alliance! You can even strafe snowtroopers in the Hoth level!

The Best GameCube Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nintendo 64 fans should recognize the original title known as Rogue
Squadron, regarded as one of the best Star Wars games ever made. But
the new Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2 you fly as Luke
Skywalker or Wedge Antilles in all of the most famous battles from the
original three movies.
The gameplay follows the adventures of Luke Skywalker and Wedge
Antilles and the most famous battles from the original three films. You don't
just fly in famous ones, you also fly in the ones in between, which often set up
the scene for the major battles. There are 11 campaign mission in all, which
actually can be beaten in a very short amound of time, other features in the
game extend it gratly. Factor 5's point for the game was to recreate the Star
Wars universe in the greatest detail possible, and they did it very well. You
can hardly tell the difference between the game and the movie. In the game
you complete the mission objectives your given and are awarded medals
depending on the requirements you for filled. In the game you shoot your
primary weapon by pressing A, tapping it in different variations produces
different results of shooting. The B button shoots it's secondary weapon, or
for some ships charges up the proton torpedoes. When your not shooting
anything your secondary weapon will automatically charge up. That is how
you shoot from all four laser guns on the X-Wing. The L button works as the
breaking system, and the R button works as an accelerator, just don't get
them mixed up! The harder you press the the shoulder buttons the more
action you'll get from them. Using X you can go down into the cockpit, you
can look around with the C Stick. By pressing the Y button you can access
the targeting monitor allowing you to lock onto your enemy for a better, more
confirmed hit. This is also very useful for stages in the dark of space, or in
the clouds. But, I found it very annoying and difficult to use at certain points.
For instance in mission #1, the Death Star Trench Run, in the trench you can
activate it to locate turrets ahead. Unfortunately there is no way of telling if
there is anything in between you and the turret, such as walls, which there are
many of them. Another new feature is you use the D Pad to tell your gun man
to aim at a certain thing you might have missed from the front, or just tell him
to protect the rear, or tell your squadron to attack certain things, or retreat.
Graphically, Rogue Leader 2 is one of the most impressive launch titles.
It has real time environment effects such as the rising of a sun, moving cloud
layers, and tons of other things highly noticeable and less noticeable. And
perhaps the most amazing fact, is that out of all of these amazing graphics
and extreme detail, Rogue Leader 2 managed to maintain a solid and fluid
60 frames per second.
The Sound of SWRL:RS2 is excellent, it shows off the sound capabilities
of the GameCube. In the game it uses voice clips from the movies, as well
as new voices from actors and the original Wedge Antilles. The game
transfers sound from a calm to a tense mood well. This game is a really
good example of the GameCube's sound capabilities. Rogue Leader 2
utilizes the Dolby Surround Sound Pro Logic system, for awesome and
intense sound.
So in the end Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II is one of the
best, if not the best games at launch. A definite Buy.

MY RATING: 9.5

SUPER SUPER COOL GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played this game at Cube Club on sunday, and let me tell you, it is the best game i have ever played PERIOD! The graphics are even better than the movies themselves! The framerate is rock solid which is a first for the Star Wars genre! The music is fully orchestrated, with a few extra soundtracks just to fit the mood in many other levels, and is presented in full 5.1 surround sound through Dolby Prologic II! AND BEST OF ALL, IT FEATURES THE BATTLE OF ENDOR, WHICH SINGLE HANDEDLY HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST AND BEST LEVEL IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY! IT IS UNBELIEVABLE!

Rogue Squadron II for the GameCube is one of the most impressive games I've seen. Visually, it rivals or may even best any Xbox title and definetly soars over the PS2. I haven't seen any high polygon counts on the Xbox that are even close to this game. Each ship, rendered with many texture passes (light mapping, dirt mapping, bump mapping, etc), consists of about 20,000 polygons. No other system creates this many on just a single object, not even a PC. Environments span to 120,000 polygons and at times there are 15 million polygons (per second) on the screen. All of this runs at a lightning fast speed of 60 frames per second.
The figures Microsoft boasts about its 120 million polygons are unreasonable. Sure it can create these without lighting, texturing, anti-aliasing, and so on. But what can it really do with all the features put into play? Probably the same or a tad bit higher than the GameCube.
While comparing this game to Dead Or Alive 3, a visual masterpiece on the Xbox, you really can tell the difference with the numbers. Rouge Leader II polygon counts are much higher. Lighting and texturing are all top notch even with the lower storage capacity of 1.5 gigabytes for the discs. The Xbox's power is great but until it can push farther that Rouge Leader II then it still is behind in the graphics department.
All in all this game is great for its gameplay and its stunning recreation of the Star Wars saga. The control and the speed in which your ships fly at are great. The speed had a vast improvement over the N64 version and it all accounts the power of the GameCube. With Nintendo's new system the Star Wars worlds can be recreated in a realistic and playable format. The game's sound and music were all recorded at a high quality. Its textures are beautiful and accurate. And the game itself is just a spectacular work of art. This is what a Star Wars game should be like.

BUY, BUY, BUY!

This is the best game so far this year. Once you start playing this game and notice all the small details you will start to realize the power of the Cube. The game has 11 missions and all are straight from the flicks. The game also contains footage from the movies. This game is definately the best game of the Gamecube's launch and it could be the best game of the year for any platform.

10 stars not 5 stars

In my opinion,Rogue Leader is the best GameCube launch title by far.I can't remember the last game that got my heart pumping like this one.My hands were even shaking after some missions,I guess it's the combination of classic Star Wars scenarios you go through all three movies here and an incredibly well designed,beautiful game.And it ain't no cakewalk,either.If your skills aren't up to snuff in any of the missions at least all but one exceptionally easy run near the end,anyway you'll definitely find yourself floating home.But despite the difficulty,it's almost impossible to put Rogue Leader down,and that's the sign of a truly great game.
