BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!
I played this game at Cube Club on sunday, and let me tell you, it is the best game i have ever played PERIOD! The graphics are even better than the movies themselves! The framerate is rock solid which is a first for the Star Wars genre! The music is fully orchestrated, with a few extra soundtracks just to fit the mood in many other levels, and is presented in full 5.1 surround sound through Dolby Prologic II! AND BEST OF ALL, IT FEATURES THE BATTLE OF ENDOR, WHICH SINGLE HANDEDLY HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST AND BEST LEVEL IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY! IT IS UNBELIEVABLE!

10 stars not 5 stars
In my opinion,Rogue Leader is the best GameCube launch title by far.I can't remember the last game that got my heart pumping like this one.My hands were even shaking after some missions,I guess it's the combination of classic Star Wars scenarios you go through all three movies here and an incredibly well designed,beautiful game.And it ain't no cakewalk,either.If your skills aren't up to snuff in any of the missions at least all but one exceptionally easy run near the end,anyway you'll definitely find yourself floating home.But despite the difficulty,it's almost impossible to put Rogue Leader down,and that's the sign of a truly great game.

Another Star Wars Classic
I have to admit I did not think video gaming systems could get much prettier than some of the visuals on Playstation 2, but boy was I blown away by this game. The very first mission, the attack on the Death Star, was mind-boggling, lasers flying everywhere on a beautiful 3D surface. The cutscene before this was just incredible, though, it looked like it came right out of the special edition movie. The Battle of Endor mission is the most amazing, I mean it places you right in the game, especially because of the fact that about 300 TIEs are coming after to you. To say it concisely this game is incredible visually!

Moving on, you play as Luke for part of the game, but you also play as Wedge Antilles on many of the missions, like the Battle at Endor. Each mission has its on guidelines and rules, some you protect, others you attack, and on the Imperial Academy level you actually steal an Imperial ship. The missions are fairly simple, but achieving that coveted gold is not. The hardest missions are the final two, Battle at Endor and Strike at the Core. The bonus mission are a definite plus, I love shooting the quads on the Escape from the Death Star bonus mission. And its also great to shoot down some rebel scum playing as Darth Vader. Only one complaint, the Training level is extremely boring after the first couple plays.

The music is tranplanted from the movie and is great, it definitely gives it a classic touch. The little movie cutscenes between missions are also pretty interesting. Overall this is an excellent game and I can give it no less than 5 stars. Great launch title for the redoubtable Gamecube, let's hope we see more of this quality. Oh yeah, I also loved the first Rogue Squadron, though, that was a much simpler game.
