Rogue Squadron challenges players to jump into Luke Skywalker's flight suit for exhilarating, high-speed missions against the dreaded Galactic Empire in such fabled Rebel starfighters as X-wings, Y-wings and A-wings, as well as V-wing air speeders and snow speeders. The stakes are high and the hazards even higher: if players lose wingmates in battle, they risk their own demise. If they protect them, their mates will return the favour. Aerial conflict takes place in a variety of extraordinary 3-D planetary settings that range from familiar Star Wars locales such as Tatooine, to ones never before seen, including Kessel and Mon Calamari. Players will test their dogfight skills over spectacular environments including water, canyons, deserts, treetops and volcanic regions. Crafts will be equipped with lasers, seeker missiles, ion cannons and more. Rogue Squadron features an assortment of camera perspectives that range from in-the-cockpit to several exterior points of view. Immersive 3-D details such as real-time lighting and spectacular special effects such as smoke, engine glow and tracer fire truly bring the Star Wars universe to life.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever wonder what Luke Skywalker did after he blew up the Death Star, or how the Rebels came to establish their base on Hoth? The answers are all in Star Wars--Rogue Squadron 3-D. Players become Luke in this shooter game, leading missions for a Rebellion still scrambling to recover from the loss of its base at the end of the original Star Wars film. Luke and Wedge Antilles, the sole survivors of the Death Star battle, have formed an elite squadron of pilots to fly from one end of the galaxy to another, fighting Imperial ships from TIE fighters to the fearsome AT-ATs of The Empire Strikes Back.
With clear mission goals and easy-to-fly spacecraft at your command, Star Wars--Rogue Squadron 3-D offers hours of player entertainment. It has an arcade-style sensibility, scoring your success in each level with a gold, silver or bronze medal. Enough medals translate into promotions and access to better technology. The action takes place over planets established in Star Wars film and comic book tie-ins; this, when combined with the familiar Star Wars music and sounds, renders pleasing--almost homey--familiarity. The worlds and ships are drawn in meticulous detail, right down to effects like dust plumes which rise from the deserts of Tatooine when you're about to crash into the sand.
Unfortunately, the game allows single-player action only, with no multiplayer options on either a local network or Internet. Some players may find this disappointing. But for fans of the movies or anyone looking for high-flying solo fun, Star Wars--Rogue Squadron 3-D may be exactly what you seek. --Alyx Dellamonica
