 Pretty good for star wars..., 2000-05-10
Rogue Squadron, for the most part, is good star wars game. It remains true to the movies, and allows the user to 'recreate' part of the star wars timeline that we never saw on the big screen. The graphics and game play are good, and the sound effects and music are adequate. The biggest problem with the game comes in difficulty and complexity. The earlier missions are woefully easy while the latter missions are painfully difficult. Overall, there aren't many missions to fly in this game, but it is entertaining. You'll like it if you like star wars, but you'll find yourself wanting more in the end...

Addictive, 2000-04-18
Rogue Squadron is a fun, addictive, pretty game. Unfortunately, it's not perfect.This game offers beautiful graphics, fairly interesting music, a range of different craft, with different views, functions and special abilities for them. It has clearly defined goals in each mission, although often the backstory of the mission itself was somewhat silly. And it has sixteen levels, each on different and unique worlds. With so much going for it, why doesn't RS3D qualify as a "great" game? My biggest complaint is mission difficulty. There is no difficulty selector, and the levels are not paced very well. For example, the entire first chapter is extraordinarly easy, each level being completed withing five to ten minutes. Afterwards, some of the levels are equally easy, and then there are those that are impossibly, frustratingly difficult. My other chief complaint is technical -- this game takes place before Empire Strikes Back, which is when the tow cable method of tripping AT-ATs was concieved. So why is it being done left and right here? Just on a minor note, the dialogue and voice acting was also pretty bad. Another area that's not really bad or good, but just a note -- there are no cinematics here. Before and during every Star Wars game, I have always enjoyed the high-quality videos. None of that here. Instead you just get some game-engine pictures of the starfighters flying around and hear the pilot's voices. Just, in the beginning for example, seeing Luke and Wedge talking about establishing Rogue Squadron, laying some background for the game, would've been nice. Don't be expecting X-wing. A flight sim it ain't. But if you want a fun, good-looking, fast moving little game, then I definately recommend this one.

 One of the best STAR WARS video games of all times., 2000-04-14
What Star Wars fan never wanted to fly an X-WING. Well now it can be true! You can fly X-Wings, A-Wings, Y-Wings, V-WINGS, Snow Speeders, and some suprising crafts after beating the game with some medals. Each mission has a certain number of very interesting objectives that you need to accomplish along with some other things, like reducing civilian casualties, or find weapon upgrades along the way. The game is rich in resources and the space crafts are very maniable. If you are a Star Wars fan and you would like to destroy the Empire as part of the Rogue Squadron, you HAVE to buy this game.
One of the BEST, 2000-04-12
This is the best Star Wars game I hav ever played! It takes a little while to get an AT-AT down but once you get it, it's very fun! The sound it makes when you shoot are a little corny, but other wise okay. The graphics are great also!!

WOW!, 2000-04-05
THE best simulator game for Star Wars. I just can't stop playing it. The levels are pretty easy to begin with and then they get harder. I like the challenge.The music is a bit corny. And some of the sound effects aren't too great. But others wise...It's an excellent game!
