Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Rogue Leader has some of the best graphics ever seen on a home console and it's proper, old-fashioned, Star Wars--if that doesn't raise at least an eyebrow of your interest then there's probably not much in the world of video games that will. Thankfully, the jaw-dropping graphics are matched up to a very playable shoot 'em-up that works as a slightly more in-depth version of the PS2's Starfighter, except without any of that Episode I nonsense; instead it recreates everything from the Death Star trench run to the Battle of Hoth. The game is actually a sequel to Rogue Squadron on the N64--an excellent game that many only remember from the rather lacklustre PC version. It's structurally very similar to the original, with a dozen or so levels and a Star Destroyer full of secret levels and ships. There are a few new ideas, such as controllable wingman and ground troops, and some of the levels are set in deep space instead of just planetside, but at its heart this is still Rogue Squadron Deluxe. What elevates the game to an object of worship is the graphics--they really do look almost identical to the movies, with several scenes being copied exactly, and move with a fluidity and grace you wouldn't have thought possible from a £150 console. The only flaw is that the missions are needlessly short, but there's plenty of replayability, and by gosh there's those graphics...--David Jenkins Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - I finally played it!I never owned a Gamecube, so I never got to play this game. I loved the prequal on the N64, and always thought that this game looked good, but just never got around to it. Now I own a Wii, the gateway to a plethora of retor games has opened before me and this is the first title checked off my "to buy" list. Of course, I had to buy a Gamecube remote and memory card - don't forget to grap those! Anyway, this game looks fantastic (even now) and plays well. The controls are a little convoluted and tricky (I've no idea what my targetting computer efficiency score means and I've no idea how to improve it) but you get used to them. And this feels like Star Wars. It feels like your in the movies and it feels good. In ... Read More: Rating: - Possibly the best star wars game everAlthough some of the complaints from other reviews are true, such as there being a couple of bland levels, this is an amazing game. Great sound, great graphics, great gameplay but most importantly you will love it if you love star wars. Many of the levels see you taking control of wedge antilles carrying out missions that are not featured in the films such as the capture of the imperial shuttle tyderium. But of course there are also classic scenes from the films such as the death star trench run and the battle of endor. It is extremely satisfying hitting your target after a long dogfight and the ship sounds are straight from the films. Get this before rogue squadron 3 as it is better in many ways. This is one of my favourite ... Read More: Rating:  - Average space shooting helped by the licenseI've heard that Ronseal: Quick Dry and Wood Stain does exactly what it says on the tin. You buy it and you know exactly what to expect. Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader? Same thing. No, I don't mean that it dries in a matter of minutes and protects surfaces for five years, nor is there a renegade general roaming the streets stirring up rebellion, shouting, "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" every once in a while. But if you've played any of the previous Rogue Squadron games then what you expect is exactly what you'll get Rogue Leader was showcased at the industry events as some kind of benchmark game for the Gamecube. It had to. There wasn't much else to show. I'm sure all of us will remember that first tech demo we saw the surface of the Deathstar, ... Read More: Rating: - Buy it cheap and it'll pleaseI'll try to keep this review short. 'Rogue Leader' looks good, sounds great, plays quite well. The game really will take you back to the scenes from the original Star Wars films; your first level (although it sounds a bit extreme) is the Deathstar and trench run; the get to pull down the big walkers on snowy Hoth (remember 'The Empire Strikes Back'?); you visit cloud city; you get to man the gun turret of the Millennium Falcon, and it's fun. Where the game most lets you down is with the 'filler' levels, most of which are grey, slow and uneventful. The game also has the capacity to annoy; the enemy ships will literally fly into you and cost you a life. Yes, it's their job to attack you, but that just struck me as stupid. Cut-scenes, the ... Read More: Rating:  - Not Great, Not AwfulThis game isn't particularly good. Space levels are very confusing because it is hard to keep track of where you are in them since the bacl backdrops scroll and there are few placeholders. Not as good as some early flight games such as Starfox on the Super NES. Not really recommended. |
