Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Star Wars Game
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The X-Wing flight sim you've always wanted
First let me say that when this game came out it was everything I wanted it to be. I had played x-wing and tie-fighter on the PC and it was fun but this game has the look and feel like a properly designed flight sim - for each craft you fly has it's own special characteristics. The voices and sounds are fantastic. The levels are varied and imaginitive. However, to be picky, I'd like to see some additions and a Rogue 2 come out. They would include: space combat, with capital ships, the ability to choose which craft you want (some levels simply insist you use the snowspeeder for example), a couple wing-commander-style wingman orders buttons to get another rogue to help kill the tie on your six, and more accurate shots on the complex polygons such as in the cloud city level where sometimes your perfectly aimed shots won't blow up the tabana gas container you want, instead the shots hit the ones behind it, getting you in trouble with the civilian authorities. All in all, though it is one of the best games I've played on the N64 to date and with all the graphics, sound and voice stuffed on a cart instead of a cd, playstation style, I don't have to see a loading...please wait sign. That's worth every penny.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOME!
This game rocks! The Expansion Pak makes notable improvement of graphics and control, yet isn't absolutely necessary. Getting all the gold medals without the cheats is a challenge, but gives it added dimension. And you have to play this one louder than sanely possible because the music and sound effects are so good, they'd blow George Lucas away.....to a galaxy far, far away! Rumble Pak? .....A MUST HAVE! Get this game.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great, but ultimately limited, Star Wars blaster
The success of Star Wars isn't based on the cheesy dialoge, suspect acting or even those dodgy seventies haircuts. No sir. Its based on the fact that people love to watch lots of spaceships shoot lots of other spaceships in, suprisingly, space. So its no suprise then that some of the best Star Wars games have seen you flying an X-wing through space, shooting down tie fighters and pretending your Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles or if your really sad, some other obscure pilot from the trilogy that no one else apart from you has ever heard of ( you know who you are ). And finally we have a game on the N64 that allows us to capture the excitement of those dramatic space battles, by flying an X-wing, over LAND! Actually, thats a bit harsh as this isn't a bad game. It's just that, for me anyway, Star wars is about dogfights out in the final frontier and not over a desert or a forest but oh well. Once you get over that, this does have a lot to recommend it. There's five craft to fly plus three secret craft, the missions are all varied,challenging and fun and, providing you've got an expansion pak, the graphics are awesome. Combine that with the excellent sound and music that really envokes a sense of the movies and it is impressive. The main problem with this game is that it is limited in the long run. Sure there's 16 missions but you'll get through them without too many problems. I finished the game in just over a week and to quote my flatmate who was with me when I completed it ''Is that it?'' Sure there's the medals to get for the bonus misions and secret craft but re-flying missions you've already done to shave a few more seconds off your time or get that one more elusive kill is hardly riveting stuff, particuly when there's widely known cheats to get them all anyway. In fact, the bonus missions aren't that good, with only the battle of Hoth holding any interest as Beggers Canyon is dull and the Death Star trench actually is nothing like the trench from the film. Good but dissapointing as it could have been so much better.
