There were also a couple of space combat games for the N64 that were widely regarded as being among the better games on the system.
What this means is that LucasArts has had a lot of practice in honing their skills before creating Rogue Leader. You can really see bits and pieces of the previous games and how they have evolved into the masterpiece you will be playing on your GameCube. Much like the previous titles, Rogue Leader is a mission-based game.
You will receive objectives on the fly throughout the mission. Upon completion of one objective, you will receive a radio transmission, often accompanied by a cutscene explaining your next objective. Once the objective is explained, you resume control of your craft and you are off to try to complete the mission. Some of the missions are a reenactment of famous scenes from the movies and others are missions designed specifically for the game.
An example of a reenactment is the first mission you undertake aside from the training mission. You set out to destroy the Death Star. Your first objective is to destroy all the laser towers that are providing surface-to-air fire. Once this is accomplished, waves of TIE fighters attack you.
Finally, once you have cleared the TIEs, you make the trench run completed by dropping a proton torpedo down the exhaust shaft and blowing up the Death Star. And this is just the first mission! Being mission-based like its predecessors, Rogue Leader also follows the same reward system. Upon successful completion of each mission, you are presented with a scoring summary screen that displays your mission time, enemies destroyed, shot accuracy, friendlies lost, lives lost and your targeting computer efficiency.
Based off your scores in these categories, you are awarded medals. The medals give you points toward unlocking secrets in the game. One nice touch is the fact that you can complete a mission, not score a medal and still move on to the next mission. All this just adds to the replay value. On top of this, the free-roaming gameplay - which although it requires you to complete specific missions, doesn't lock you into a linear pattern like say, Lylat Wars - means that you'll want to go back and replay the levels anyway.
Even if it's only to try out your new missiles on the civilian sandspeeders on Tatooine or to hunt down the speeder bikes that pop-up on several Imperial planets. Basically this game has loads to discover, and the more into it you get the more detail is revealed.
We're talking individual stormtroopers that actually look like stormtroopers close up! And they even shoot back! One thing which detracts a little from the game appearance-wise is the fogging and the pop-up. This varies in intensity on different levels, being worse on some than it is on others.
To be honest, ifs only really noticeable when you're watching someone else play the game. When you yourself are playing, you find you're so involved with checking the ground for the enemy, scanning the skies for TIEs and trying to deal with all manner of other Imperial threats that you don't really notice anything else!
The only real problem is that the TIE Fighters, being small, are hard to spot anyway and the fog doesn't exactly help. Speed is another thing which might appear slightly wrong at first. If you're watching the game being played, it does seem like ifs running rather slow - not because of slow-down, just that the foster-than-light craft aren't exactly speeding along. When you're playing however, you soon realise that the speed has been set just right - any foster and you'd find it impossible to dogfight.
And who doesn't love to dogfight? While we're on the subject of aesthetics, the in-game graphics are very good, but it has to be said that this is obviously a game which has been designed specifically for the Expansion Pak. Shove the Pak in your console and prepare to be amazed!
You could almost believe that the game was running on a PC! It really is that good. If you're a Star Wars fanatic and you own an N64, then you can't afford to be without this game. If you're a Star Wars fanatic and you don't own an N64 then buy one. However, if you're not a Star Wars fan then still buy this game because it's the most exciting, most gripping shoot-'em-up on the N64 so far.
If Zelda is the "game of the century," then this is a definite nominee for the shoot-'em-up of the decade! Rogue Squadron was disappointing at first, as the early missions are a bit easy. Fortunately, things quickly pick up and can get quite hectic. Without the Star Wars licence, though. Rogue Squadron probably wouldn't hold anyone's attention for too long. The galaxy is rejoicing over the destruction of the infamous Death Star, but there is no time for rest.
The Empire is determined to obtain enough strength for an all-out offensive against the Rebel Alliance. Quickly described: fun and simple, yet challenging.
There are at least sixteen missions that are mostly seek and destroy, escorting, and search and rescue. Each mission contains different tasks which get progressively harder the further you get, such as taking on onslaughts of TIE fighters, bombers, and interceptors, tripping walkers, escorting transports and selectively destroying Imperial supplies. Be sure to always listen to what your team members or other friendlies tell you, as you must satisfy certain requirements to complete a mission.
Each level allows you to attain a gold, silver, bronze, or no medal depending on number of enemies destroyed, secret items you find, accuracy of shooting and number of friendly people or buildings you save. More medals mean higher rank and access to secret ships and levels. In addition, finding the secret items is important, as those items will be available to you in later levels. Each ship has its own advantages and disadvantages for you to discover. For instance, the Y-Wing maneuvers like a full-size Buick, but is also as strong as one, whereas the Airspeeder has no shields until you find a secret item at all, so watch where you fly with that thing.
The basic controls consist of simple flight maneuvers, speed throttling, firing primary, secondary, and occasionally tertiary weapons. The more complex controls consist of panning the camera, switching camera views, operating special features of a particular craft such as closing the S-foils on the X-Wing or using the right or left independent brakes on the Airspeeder , linking weapons, and rolling your aircraft if possible.
The controls are very responsive, smooth, and are a complete pleasure to handle. The crosshairs are extremely helpful, but can be turned off for those of you who prefer to use the Force. Before starting a game, you will need to either create or choose a pilot from the roster. Each pilot will also have the number of medals earned along with rank listed.
In other words, there is no multiplayer at all. I was very disappointed by this, as this would have been a wonderful game not to have to play Solo pun FULLY intended. For starters, a 3D-accelerated card is required to play. The graphics are vivid and the movement and animation are fluid.
The different ships, walkers, droids, people running around, explosions, effects such as hitting your target with the ion cannon, watching it spark, then seeing it fall powerless to the ground before it explodes are impressive -- most impressive, not to mention pretty detailed.
Since almost every mission takes place on a different planet, you can expect to see lots of great artwork and effects. The sound in this game is as wonderful as in the original films. The voices in this game sound very much like the characters from the movies. Forget the neighbors; this is a game to crank as loud as you possibly can! A joystick is recommended and force-feedback joysticks are supported. There is an option on the disc when you first put it in to check your system to see if it is capable of playing this game.
Forty-five pages give you the basic functionality of the game. A mini-comic book is also included at the end of the manual. This is the best game I have played in some time. Its easy interface and wonderful gameplay make it accessible to both beginning pilots and Jedi Knights alike. Do you even exist? I was impressed by the minimal amount of hard drive space 55 MB this game takes up, compared to most other games these days.
