Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Like the other Rogue Squadron games, Rebel Strike doesn't really follow much of a storyline, instead replicating all the major action sequences from the movies with graphics that, quite frankly, are better than the original films' special effects. Seriously, if ever your Xbox-owning mates try to diss the GameCube's graphics just show them this and it'll shut them right up. When flying a speeder bike through the forests of Endor the sensation of being there, and being there at great speed, is just phenomenal. Likewise, stomping around in a scout walker blowing up stormtroopers and getting Ewoks to set traps is just as exhilarating. Unfortunately a number of sections where you have to walk around on foot are fairly appalling, with some of the later platform based mission with Luke Skywalker being particularly risible. In fact, in terms of the single-player mode Rebel Strike is a considerable step down from its predecessor in terms of enjoyment. So it's a relief then that the multi-player modes are so well stocked and enjoyable. There's a cooperative mode that allows you to replay every level from the GameCube's first Rogue Squadron game, but with a friend. Barrelling down a photo-realistic Death Star trench with a wingman is worth the price of admission alone and will have even the most cynical fan heaving with excitement--even more so when they find that there are a bunch of special deathmatch and capture-the-flag levels to play as well. Rebel Strike is very much a game of two halves, but if you can play it with a friend it's got a lot to offer. --David Jenkins Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A waste of 10 minutesI bought the game as i thought it looked pretty good and other rogue squadron games were ok but this is a serious dissapointment and a let down to Star Wars, the gameplay is terrible the flying is terrible and the voiceovers get really annoying. Take your time in choosing a star wars game there are many good ones out there. Rating: - Rebel TripeThe orginal Rouge Squadron games were really pretty good, especialy for their time. But this is a disapointment to the series, the flying bits of the game are reasonable, the on-foot parts are terrible, being stupidly easy, basicly being, run, shoot, run, shoot. The game boasts a number of ships such as the Milennium Falcon, but I have NEVER been able to work out how to unlock them! The only reason I ever play this game any more is because it has Multiplayer [which to be honest is also bad, with a few modes of play, none of which are particularily thrilling] and it is one of the few Multiplayer games I have on Gamecube. Rating:  - What have they done?!Lucasarts and Factor 5 were on a bit of a roll with their series of rogue squadron games. The 1st, on the N64 was great, and it presented a glimmer of hope that Star Wars games were on the up. Its follow up on the gamecube was sublime. Now, given all of their past experience and expertise, Factor 5 have created the most...average follow up of all time. Now, the reason for this is bizarre. The 1st flight mission you are put into, revenge of the empire, takes place at the rebel base on yavin, and after you have got the rather extensive intro movie out of the way you are thrust into a gorgeous battle above the trees of Yavin, flack and ties everywhere. This lasts for about 2 minutes, as you have a completely simple objective, then resumes ...

Now it seems that they dropped the ball, and have considerably lowered the standards of the game. Excellent craft and backgrounds, definitely. It puts all other console graphics in the shade. But the game itself has been a bit of a let-down. The main reason, I reckon, was that with Rogue Leader, the levels all involved being able to star in the films, to really be there taking out the Death Star, to feel the thrill of knocking down a walker, and to sit back in pride after taking all that a Star Destroyer can chuck at you and live to tell the tale. Nearly every single level could relate to the films. But Rebel Strike ... Read More: Rating:  - The Force is Strong with this oneOr Rogue Squadron III for those that have played these games since the first one appeared on the N64 about five years ago. For those people like myself that have suffered the many, and mostly extremely disappointing Star Wars games since the peak of X-Wing and Tie Fighter will find something to cheer here. Great graphics, great missions, loads of hidden bonus's and fantastic sound. For the first time in a Rogue Squadron game, you get to go outside of the confines of the ships and run around blasting Stormtroopers as well as blowing up AT-AT's a la The Empire Strikes Back. There is even a two-player game that allows you and a friend to fly co-operative missions on all of the levels from Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II. This is worth buying on it's own. ... Read More: |
