Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE!!!!
Your flying at about 1000 feet above the ground when suddenly out of no where comes a tie intecpter above you with cannons blasting. You turn left, a lasor goes by which could have meant certain death. You flip, catch the imperial by suprise and shortly after he is bantha fodder( dead.) No, this isnt a movie, it's Star Wars: Rogue Squadren. This is one of the best game ever produced and my statement is what many people think. Awesome. Blast the Empire through about 20 levels of non-stop fun and great replay ability. Such classic levels include the Death Star Trench Run and even the Battle of Hoth. The controls are godly and the graphics are almost too good for a system like n-64. One of the coolest things the producers made was the medals, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum ( yes there are platinum medals, but you have to be a nut to get them.) If you can get all platinums ill give you a cookie( not very tasty.) The more medals you get the higher your rank becomes. I give this game a 200 out of 100 ( not a typo, it is that good.) [...] THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE! ( I suggest the sequel which i heard is even better for gamecube, and the game is 1 player and hi-res capability. Game runs better and looks better with hi-res.)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the greater games to appear on Nintendo 64
If I had to pick one word to describe this game it would be amazing. "Rogue Squadron" pushes the N64 to it's maximum power graphically, which can be further enhanced by an expansion pack (I strongly recommend going with one it makes the game run smoother). The gameplay couldn't be more entertaining, I often wonder how my little Nintendo 64 is able to handle all that this game has to offer. The missions you fly in this game vary from escorting ground troops into combat all the way to launching full foward attacks on monstrous Imperial ships. The AI is pretty strong depending on the difficulty level, but when it comes to your own wingmen helping you out just forget it. Environments in this game are incredible for a Nintendo 64 game and I give the designers alot of credit for putting so much work into them. Can't get you're hands on the new Rogue Squadron "Rogue Leader" for Gamecube? Pick this up to satisfy youre urge, if you do own Rogue Leader or even don't plan on getting it, pick this title up anyways for a hell of a gaming experience.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I just love blasting TIE'S....
LucasArts has really outdone itself with this great N64 game. After Shadows of the Empire was released, it quickly became obvious that the best level in the game was the first level, where you are flying a Rebel Airspeeder during the Battle of Hoth. LA decided to make a whole game using a similar concept, and Rogue Squadron was born. You play as Luke Skywalker, leader of Rogue Squadron, a group of elite rebel pilots who roam the galaxy, making life difficult for the Empire and its minions. You play through 16 basic missions, which together form a loose plot chronicling the adventures of Rogue Squadron during the time between the destruction of the first Death Star and The Empire Strikes Back. The missions range from simple search-and-destroy missions, to escorting supply trains, to freeing rebel soldiers from Imperial prison facilities. Along the way, you must learn to handle a variety of rebel craft, from the X-Wing to the Airspeeder. Each craft has its own strengths and weaknesses, plus each craft has a special weapon, which means that you are required to use each craft on certain missions. After you complete each mission, you may be awarded a bronze, silver, or gold medal based on your performance. After completing a mission, you can move on to the next one, or else go back and try again to get a better score. The game gives you a score summary after each mission, so you know right away which areaas you need to improve upon to get the gold.

The look and feel of the game is excellent. The graphics are superb, and the Expansion Pak boosts them to cinematic levels. The sound is also excellent for a non-CD game, although the chatter from your squadron mates does get a little repetitive. The game is contained within a 3D environment, giving the game a flight simulator-like feel. The controls are pretty easy to get used to, though this DOES take a little practice. Fortunately, the first couple of missions are pretty easy, so you get a good chance to get familiar with the controls. The controls are the same for each ship, so you don't have to switch back and forth.

As stated before, the first couple of missions are pretty simple and easy. But, starting with about the fourth mission, they start to get REALLY tough, with multitudes of TIE fighters, missile turrets, and gun emplacements all doing their best to shoot you down. Expect to die many times before mastering each mission. Getting the gold medal on all 16 missions will definitely take a while.

The game has a lot of nice bonus features as well. As you complete missions and earn higher medals, three bonus missions will appear, plus you will gain access to new ships, including the Millenium Falcon and a captured Imperial TIE Interceptor. There is also a passcode screen, allowing you to enter codes to unlock all sorts of interesting options, including a fourth bonus level and the Naboo Starfighter. There is even a code to allow you to fly a Buick sedan against the Empire! The codes themselves are pretty easy to get. There are several sites on the Internet that have them.

It's easy to get immersed in the 3D environment of this game. Many's the time I've found myself leaning over to the left or right as I put my X-Wing through a tight turn. For those who like flight simulator-type games, I would say that this is the best FS game on the N64. It's a bit dated now, what with the impending release of Rogue Squadron II for the GameCube, but for those N64 fans out there, this one is a must-have.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Blast the Empire!
This game is great for Star Wars fans! There are eleven single missions, but there are three bonus missions too. The first is a race on Tatooine where you fly a T-16 Skyhopper in a race against three of your squadron mates! The second is the Death Star Trench Run which the developers, in my opinion over did, because the trence is HUGE and it has to many turns. The best bonus level is the Battle of Hoth. The graphics and music are superd just like every other Lucasarts and Factor Five 5 game! Their are also secret vehicles. You can pilot the Naboo Starfighter by using a secret code (go to Lucasarts website!) the Millunium Falcon and the TIE Interceptor can be earned when you complete the game by getting all the gold medals. It doesn't take long to beat this game if your good at games like this, but ot does offer a pretty good challenge. Now go join the Rebellion and vaporize those TIE Fighters.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.
