 ARGH! (tears hair out) It's too hard to be fun December 3, 2005

I see many other reviews raving about the graphics. They're right. Stunning. But to use an analogy - A beautiful woman with a poor personality, makes for a lousy date. This Star Wars games is very beautiful, but poor personality. FLAW: This game is just too hard. Remember the Star Wars scene where Luke loops rope around Walkers? It's in the game, but insanely difficult. It took me about 30 attempts. Not fun.
Then I went against some shield & planet base. 10 minutes of boredom cruising through asteroids, followed by 1 minute of insane punishment by killer guns. Dead. Repeat 10 more minutes of asteroid boredom. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Argh. Then I had to kill a Star Destroyer! One tiny fighter against a Destroyer?!?!? Nuts. 6 hours later & about 100 attempts, I just barely beat it with about 1% life left. It was frustrating, NOT fun. Now I'm on some planet where I get killed off in about 3 minutes. I've repeated this level another 50 times already, and I made some progress, but I'm not enjoying the time wasted. Isn't that what gaming's about? FUN? Well, this ain't.
I'm dumping this game. Frankly, I'd rather go replay Colony Wars or Starfox or Elite. They may not look as pretty, but they make for better dates. All were challenging w/o making you feel like a hampster stuck in an infinite rolling wheel. And they were FUN.

Rogue Leader was originally a launch title for the Nintendo Gamecube, and continued the franchise started by Rogue Squadron on the N64. The basic gameplay is something of an elevated arcade shooter. It's nowhere as in-depth as a flight sim, but it includes some situations where you'll need to do some genuine tactical thinking to get out alive (protecting convoys, destroying targets, etc). You'll have an infrared heads-up display and basic command over your wingmen, as well as an extra payload of bombs or torpedoes to get the job done. Missions range from new levels and environments to recreations of key scenes from the movies (Battle of Hoth, attack on the Death Stars).
What really turned Rogue Leader into a system seller was its stunning graphics. This is still one of the prettiest titles on the Gamecube, and comes the closest of any game to looking like Star Wars (with the possible exception of the sequel, Rebel Strike). The amount of detail is breathtaking, and the effects are solid. Nintendo lost a solid developer with the departure of Factor 5.
The only nitpick about this game is that it basically plays the same as the N64 original, and also the other Star Wars space shooters (Battle for Naboo, Starfighter). Graphics, framerate and audio have take a huge leap in quality, but the basic gameplay (and some of its limitations, like z-axis movement in space) is untouched. In that sense at times it feels like a tech demo souped up with fancy bells and whistles. But if that's it, then it's one of the most satisfying tech demos you'll ever play.
This is a must-have for all Gamecube owners, Star Wars fans or not.
 great except for one thing August 16, 2005

This game is nice, the graphics are incredible, and it's got some fun star wars moments. However, there is one thing about this game that I despise. There is no way to turn off the invert look. I cannot play well with those controls, which resulted in me quitting the game before I could finish it. One small thing ruined this game for me and I consider it garbage. I give it 2 stars because of the graphics, sound and overall detail of the game. Too bad the lack of one control option kept it from getting 5 stars.
1969 Buick.... Funnist Thing i've Seen in a Game.... August 3, 2005

This game was xellant! The Hoth level was amazin', though AT-AT's are my fav vehichle in STAR WARS, and it was sad to see dem' tumble. The last level was fricken hard though, I still can't get that stew-pid "It's gettin' hot in here" line of Lando's out of my head. go to *********** and get the cheat code for the 1969 Buick. Yu won't regret it! the cockpit is stellur, and it's exit of the hanger has me ripping my sides with laughter every time. Too bad it dosent have a craft descprition like in rebel strike. "This raging vehicle from a galaxy far,far away has the weaponry to beat the foodoo out of Imperial forces...."

Rouge Leader does a better job in the Star Wars video game collection as an X-wing shoot 'um up than the origonal Rouge Squad. But it would nice if Lucasarts did'nt put the multi player in a bounus disk in the 3rd game that has Rouge Leader's multi-player in it.
You are Luke Skywalker the leader of the elite flying force called Rouge Suaderan. You do missions with only two of the dozen wing-men as you drive your star fighter through historical and not-as-historical-as-the-historical-missions.
This is a great game but you won't be hooked for hours upon end.
If you want something really intresting go to [...]and find the cheat sheet for Rouge Leader.
