STAR WARS: ROGUE SQUADRON

by Jay "THE FLEA" Wade

Stars Wars returns to the N64 with a flight combat game Rogue Squadron. Now I've always been a Star Wars fan and loved Shadows of the Empire, and SW:RS is as good as the past Star Wars games. You get the chance to fly some of Star Wars best ships, Including the X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, Snow Speeder, V-Wing, (a new ship) And secret ships Millennium Falcon, SkyHopper, AT-ST and Tie Interceptor. (maybe more) With 17 levels and 3 secret missions this game has plenty of action. Most of the levels are not based on any of the movie, mostly NEW missions. The missions are large and vary challenging, and earning 3 different Metals for every level there's plenty of replay value. The Graphics look great (and even better with the memory expansion) and the control is done vary well. The sound couldn't be better, from character voices to Tie's & AT-AT noises. If your a Star Wars fan this game is a must have, If your not.....Give it a try I'm sure you'll like it too. So until Episode 1 Phantom Menace is released (May 21st) This game will satisfy your Star Wars craving.
