I think that this game is the second best game on N64 you can get. It has a lot of different levels, and great ships. I think it's a very challenging game, and it's enough fun to keep on playing it. I beat the game twice, and I still love it! I think that it's a definite must have N64 game. The only thing it's missing is a multiplayer mode!
Total immersion

Maybe it is because I was obsessed with the Star Wars Trilogy when I was younger. I owned Return of the Jedi curtains and dressed as a Stormtrooper for Halloween...several years in a row. I feel a natural pull (the FORCE?) toward Star Wars products.
Thus, I was drawn to N64's Rogue Squadron.
Immediately, I felt immersed in the Star Wars universe with Rogue Squadron. It was a fantastic feeling to be able to put your X-wing in open or closed foils mode. I loved the feeling of blasting those AT-ATs and TIE Bombers while trying to control my speeding A-wing fighter. All of this happened while I was being infused with a adrenaline-pumping John Williams soundtrack. Even after I beat the numerous challenges within the game, I still go back and "fly around." And that's the fun of it. You actually feel like you are part of the Star Wars story, and that alone is a great experience.
As a Star Wars fan, I was not disappointed. As a video game player, I was amazed by the quality of graphics (I used the expansion pack), control, and storyline.
This is one game that I will never sell back.
Awesome!

Star Wars Rogue Squadron is one of the best games I have played, the sound is wonderful, the game keeps you intrested, and the gameplay is extremly good. Then we come to the best part of all... The graphics. Well thought environments pop out in each level, and you see the rebel ship cruising across the land as some TIE interceptors cut it off and attempt to destroy it. This game is simply captivating, and the bonus levels you earn as you become better at the game and recieve new medals keep you intrested. So weather you are escorting a convoy of rebel supplies across imperial territory, rescuing rebels from desolate prisons, destroying an imperial base, or Tripping up an AT-AT with your TOW cable; Star wars Rogue Squadron is a definate winner for anyone.
I Would Give a Billion Stars, But I Can't

Rogue Squadron is one of the best Star Wars and N64 games ever. You get to choose from 5 different craft (9 with cheats). The best is the V-wing though. There are a total of 15 missions and 3 more as you progress. The replay value of this game is sweet. The medals make you want to keep playing until you win. 1 downside, though, is the enemies. The toughest ones are the missle turrets and landing craft. The TIEs are no match for a highly souped up X-Wing with Seeker Proton Torpedoes, and advanced lasers and shields. Once you start taking down walkers with the speeder, you can start doing it in your sleep. Also, the voice-overs could be better. Han's stunk, so's did Riekaan and Madine. The missions needed to be more difficult enemy wise because in the Mos Eisley level, a V-wing with Seeker Cluster Missiles can take down those pansy probe droids in a sec. The graphics and play control a pretty good, and better with the expansion pak. You must play this game if you own an N64. Playstation is getting all the good Star Wars games.
Fantastic! Worth Every Penny!

This game is the reason I bought the Nintendo 64 system. I was not dissappointed. This game is great. Perfect for Star Wars fans, just as good for those who like flight combat situations. Great graphics, levels, situations... The bar has been raised for other games.

This is easily the best Star Wars game. Great graphics, awesome ships and missions, and challenging. I still haven't gotten all the gold medals, and I've had this game for a year. Only downfall is there's no multiplayer, and no space battles. But those are overshadowed by the rest of the things in this game. A must buy.

I could sit and bore you with a lot of talk--mainly praise--about this game, but I've decided to just show you exactly why this game is the best Star Wars game ever made: Graphics: 10/10--Great looking levels and ships. And you can use the expansion pack for even better results. But it's not required for gameplay. Very cool.
Control: 10/10--For a game of this genre, you need to control your ships. Here, you can lock onto an enemy and follow it while trying to destroy it. The ships turn on a dime and some are better for certain missions.
Fun Level: 9/10--The missions are long and very fun. However, you can get lost in some, and that gets annoying very quick. Also, the game is not tough...it's not easy either.
Replay Value: 10/10--You'll never get bored with this one. You can receive higher rankings by doing better on missions, and the game is fun, so that's good. Also, with about 10 ships--give or take--you can try your luck at beating the game with other ships.
Overall: 11/10--No, that's not a typo. I'm giving this game more than 10 stars because it deserves it. I highly recommend this game to anybody who likes flight simulators or Star Wars. Great voice acting, control, fun and amazing graphics. Almost beats Goldeneye, but not quite.
The Best Flying Combat Simulator

Rogue Squadron is an excellent game, and unsurpassed by anyother game involving flying and blowing stuff up. There are little stormtroopers, TIEs, AT-ATs, AT-PTs, and more to blow up. The artificial intelligence is NOT great, until the last level (excluding secret levels) where the fully robotic TIEs are purely evil, not to mention annoying. However, this is a great game, featuring all your favorite ships from Star Wars. There are three secret ships and levels. The three ships are the TIE interceptor (enter tiedup at the password screen), the Millenium Falcon (enter farmboy at the password screen), and the Naboo Starfighter (enter halifax? then !yngwie! at the password screen). The three levels are the Begger's Canyon Run (unlock all levels on Bronze), the Death Star Trench Run (unlock all levels on Silver), and the Battle of Hoth (Unlock all levels on Gold, which is insanely hard). Overall, an excellent game with a good price.
Clockwise!

Who says you can only fly clockwise around the walkers? A true jedi can take 'em down either way! Oh... review? This game rocks- buy it and play until your fingers bleed.
