Star Wars - Rogue Leader - Rogue Squadron II (GC)

This one's worth playing. Before I start, let me say that this is the best Star Wars game ever made. Hands down. Better than Jedi Knight 2 (PC), Obi-Wan (Xbox), and Return of the Jedi (SNES). And Jedi Knight 2 is an excellent game. This game shows how powerful the Gamecube can be, being launched along graphical beauties such as Luigi's Mansion, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Wave Race. Many times I would see a scene and wonder "Wait, am I watching the real movie here?". Lucasarts outdid themselves here. I bought my Gamecube on the US release date along with this game and Luigi's Mansion. I've always been one to play the Mario ...  Read the complete review

When I first got my Gamecube this was the only game I had for 3 weeks, and as you can imagine this might affect your opinion of a game, and it has. Play only one game for 10 hours a day for 3 weeks and you'll begin to notice its niggly imperfections turning into flaws and then into problems.

Star Wars Rogue Leader is a flight simulator for the Nintendo Gamecube. This games story follows Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles through the events of the classic Star Wars movies as they will perform missions to aid the Rebel alliance including destroying Tie fighters, delivering cargo, protecting Rebel fleets and of course the iconic attack on the Death Star trench run itself! The storyline is actually very good and if you are a fan of Star Wars you will no doubt get a kick from many of the games moments. A nice feature the game has is it lets you pick your ship sometimes before the start of the mission, how you do this is interesting too ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the games that actually made me want to buy a gamecube - not only is it possibly the best star wars game ever, it is also definately the best "flight action" game ever. Essentially, you pilot an x wing around various missions with the rebel alliance destroying Imperial ships. It's great fun and it's really easy to get used to the controls so you'll soon be flying around blowing up ships! This has far better graphics than it's Nintendo 64 predecessor and it has also added the (limited) ability to control other pilots in the air. There iare lots of ships available that provide a variety of flying experiences and will excite any star wars ...  Read the complete review
