Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
It is a time soon after the destruction of the first Death Star. Luke Skywalker has formed a squadron of hot-shot pilots to engage the still-formidable Imperial forces. You, as Luke, must lead this rogue squadron in a series of galaxy-spanning raids and rescues. To complete all your missions, you'll need good flying skills, fast reflexes, a keen eye and a quick trigger finger.

You get to fly all your favourite ships: The X-wing, Y-wing, snowspeeder--even the Millennium Falcon. There are also some secret ships, such as the sleek Naboo Starfighter from Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, a TIE interceptor, and a 78 Buick.

The flight simulation in this game is first-rate. You'll find yourself leaning to the side as you pull a high-G turn in pursuit of Imperial TIE fighters. And the outstanding graphics and sounds are realistic enough to transport you to the Star Wars universe. Every detail is in place, right down to the individual Stormtroopers you can see running around (and trying to shoot you). One of the more impressive sequences lets you bring down Imperial Walkers by using the tow cables on your snowspeeder. Nice touch.

This is a single-player game, but you start each mission with a few wingmen from your squadron, and the well-done spoken dialogue between pilots and commanders really makes you feel like part of a team. The only significant shortcoming is the lack of a cooperative multiplayer option. With its excellent gameplay, varied environments and interesting missions, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is sure to become a long-time favourite. --Eric Fredrickson

Pros:
  • Faithful to lots of Star Wars details
  • Satisfying flight action, explosions, sound effects
  • Interesting missions and plot
  • See--and fight over--the Spice mines of Kessel and other famous Star Wars planets
Cons:
  • For some reason, you can only fly clockwise when bringing down a Walker
  • No easy setting for those without The Force
  • Voices of Luke, Wedge and Han don't sound like the real thing


Product Description:
Climb into Luke Skywalker's flight suit and join your elite Rogue Squadron Companions on crucial missions for the Rebel Alliance. Fly through amazing 3-D worlds and pulse-pounding challenges: search and destroy, reconnaissance, rescue missions and more. The stakes are high and hazards even higher; lose your wingmates in battle and risk your own demise. Cover them, and they'll return the favoUr by keeping you alive. Take on the Galactic Empire in such Rebel craft as X-wings, Y-wings, A-wings, V-wings and snowspeeders. Prove you've got what it takes against a slew of the Empire's best and baddest, including AT-AT walkers, AT-STs, TIE fighters and more. Test your flying skill through extraordinary environments--over water, through canyons, deserts, treetops and volcanic regions.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the best n64 game ever
People say that star wars games always fail, i agree.........mostly. This is as playable as the x wing/tie fighter original games but better. Easy controls ,4 spaceships and another 3 to unlock, massivley varying levels and exciting enemies all wrap up to make a near perfect game. And, once you've completed it you can get loads of cheats which make it even more fun to play! The graphics are hardly up to date but the game was made almost 5 years ago. This is no lucas arts wash out that relies on the name to sell. This is the best star wars game on the market. If only someone would make a revamped online playable version for ps2.

All star wars fans would be mad not to buy this game!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Star Wars: Rouge Squadron
This game is a masterpiece. With it's super graphics and its amazing gameplay, its one games that is sure to be on the back of your mind at all times. Star wars: Rougue Squadron is a 3D flying/shoot 'em up where you have to complete intriging missions to get a good ranking. There are many different levels ranging from stopping tie bombers from destroying a city to rescueing prisoners from a hovertrain. Overall, I think that this game is a masterpiece, definately one of the best N64 games there is. What are you waiting for?? Go buy it!!!
