Surprisingly fun

I was never a really big fan of sci-fi, and Star Wars just wasn't my thing. I couldn't really care less about those darned rebels. Obviously, my expectations for Rogue Squadron that summer day were not very high.

But you know what? I played the first mission and I was pleasantly surprised. The game actually wasn't that bad! It was actually quite entertaining just flying around and shooting these drones out from the sky. The game really isn't that easy to learn, especially if you buy the game used without an instruction booklet. There are basically a lot of nooks and crannies that I have yet to figure out, like what right-C does, or how bombs work. But the introductory missions are fun and pretty easy. However, the gameplay got to be quite repetitive. I mean, you just go around and shoot enemies from the sky. Yay. There are also a lot of sections where you have nothing to do, and it gets boring. Maybe I could have moved on to the third mission.

I also realized how visually stunning the game is. I have an Expansion Pak, so I really don't have a clue what the game would be like without it, but the graphics are just so crisp, at least certain features. The buildings and structures and ships and stuff look great, almost to the level of Half-Life. But the graphics for the people/Storm troopers leave more to be desired. They are obviously sprites. The music does have a Star Wars feel to it, and that's growing on me. I sometimes get certain tunes stuck in my head, and I don't mind. Most of the music is in the menus, though. 40 minutes of speech is nice, if only I could understand half of it. Rogue Squadron has no multiplayer, which is too bad. It would have been fun. Oh well. Overall, I actually kind of enjoyed this game.

Way Too Easy

When I first got this game I loved it.But after two weeks I had beat the game and had golds on most of the levels.It felt really weird flying an X-wing over land.It was like flying a car around in the air(witch you can actually do with a code).But I have to admit the ships are great and with the expansion pak the graphics could not be better.A must have for Star Wars fans.

it's fun, cool, and the graphics rock!

I think this game is really cool! The graphics are amazing! It, at least for me, was hard to beat until you type in the codes! But if you want to play without the codes it will take a while! I love how real each level looks. You can even get a naboo fighter when you type in a certain code. If you Love StarWars, adventure, and just a good game, this would be one to get!

this is a great game

STAR WARS ROUGE SQUADRON IS THE BEST GAME I RVER PLAYED. I PLAYED SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE BEFORE. THE ONLY GOOD LEVEL IS THE SNOWSPEEDER. ROUGE SQUADRON HAS BETTER LEVELS, SOUNDS, AND GRAPHICS. ALL IN ALL THIS IS THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED IT IS A MUST BUY FOR STAR WARS FANS.

Play every day

This game is quite unique, in that you can play it ovver and over again and still only improve. I especially favor it because I enjoy flying games and this is one of VERY FEW (hint hint!) flying games. Sometimes when I"m feeling like I could kick some butt, I play like a WWII japanese Kamakzi.

Rogue Squadron is super-awesome!

Rogue Squadron is, like I said, SUPER AWESOME! If you don't have this great space blaster game on your N64, you DO NOT know what you are missing out on. Shooting TIE Interceptors and other "bogies" is what I really need to satisfy me in a game! You, as Commander Luke Skywalker, are assigned to special rescue /destroy /protect missions including Beggar's Canyon runs, destruction of Imperials' Tibanna gas tanks on Bespin (well, actually, it's on Taloraan, but it sure reminds one of Cloud City), freeing Wedge Antilles' imprisonment on an Imperial hovertrain on Kessel, and my two favorite, the killing of the Death Star, and the snowy Battle of Hoth. All I can say is that this game is the ultimate classic game favorite, and good luck on your many different missions of the Galactic Civil War, and......may the Force be with you.

Hmm...Which is better: this or Wing Commander-THIS

This is definitely a good flight sim. There are lots of different kinds of levels, cool enemies, some awfully darn hard traps, and everything else you can think of. In it, you can fly an X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, V-Wing, and a snowspeeder. Each one has a special weapon used for its own purposes. I think it really deserves five stars.

Ever wish you could fly the legendary X-Wing, or perform a bombing run with the bulky Y-Wing? With Rogue Squadron, you can. It is geared towards a fan of Star Wars, but anyone who wants a challenge can play. This game is set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes back and puts you in contorl of the best fighters of the time, and lets you fly in many worlds that can be recognized from the movie, and others that are new, but very interesting. The graphics are good, but not perfect, even with the expansion pak, and the sounds are even better. Sounds range from explosions (even when your hit, which can happen a lot if you're not careful) to lasers and even voices of your squadron members. I gave the game a five since all-in-all, the game was good. Even though the graphics aren't perfect, they are real enough and gave a nice touch to the game. Other that that, the storyline is developed well with some interesting twists here and there, and the game offers a rare chance to pilot some really cool fighters.

This is truly an awesome game. If you have a love for Star Wars and you love playing video games you will love this game. I think that the voices are plenty real and the graphics (with the expansion pak) are amazing. Flying with all different rebel ships (including the Naboo Starfighter and Millenium Falcon) give much variety to each level. The game is very challenging but don't get frustrated. I give this game five stars.

The best game for N-64 ever!!!!!!
