pritty fun for me and my brother | | alex from Utah,USA says (14/Dec/2003): | To start you off with, Ia going to tell you or give you the history leading up to the game Rouge leaser III rebel strike. I was first playing Star Wars Rouge squaudren I for the nintendo 64 and boy was i ever hooked. Then some months later I have found out about Star Wars Episode I Pod Racer so I have played it, and I was hooked on that as well this was before I had ever heard of the game cube system then a few 3-5 years later my sister was looking on the official nintendo web site http://www.nintendo.com/ and that is where and when i have heard of the nintendo gamecube. 2 years after that we have finally got the platnum limited edition which had came with Super Mario Sunshine. over the first year we have got some games and even Star Wars Rouge Squaudrin II Rouge Leader and Star Wars Bounty Hunter bolth for the gamecube. Shortly after we have obtained Bounty Hunter we have obtained Star Wars Rouge Squadrin III Rebel Strike. So now to give you my thoghts on the game as well as some tips.
Battel of Holth or any other mission that you will get to walk around in keep at a distance when shooting up emperial troops and having trouble with those AT AT's on foot you can get up underneath them and use your C-Stick to grappleshot up to the belly then use your Little red B-Button to aim after swiping around with your light sabber in to the hole that you have opened then chuck a grinade in it thus causing it to blow up
or if you are in your speeder then use the tow cabels and go for its leggs. On any speeder bike levels then the trick is to not fall in any riveans and do not crash into any trees find any un occupied guns use the c-stick to occupie them and the b-button to quit any emperials allready occupieing them no problem just blast E'M then you can occupie them on any missions where you can fly the b-wing and you need to disabel anything then you can just hold the b-button untill the green crossaires are blue then you can release it and watch a very big blue ball of unstaibel energy go to your target and you might will have to do this some more times.
| A Star Wars Game to beat all other games | | Alfirio Delgado from Bedminster, NJ says (30/Oct/2003): | I am so sure this game is the best Star Wars game there is it is like totally awesome. This game has good quality and it has excellent graphics. The control is very good only sometimes does it get confusing but its easy to master. I believe that the voice acting is great even though they were not able to bring Denis Lawson back. The sound is good so if you have surround sound put it on and play the game it will feel like you are in the game enviroment. The graphics are very good it looked like Mark Hammill was on the speeder bike and not some polygon player.
The light reflection is good it makes it look more real. The trees on endor are cool i mean its really fun to crash into them on purpose. The Space battles aren't bad either the lasers light reflects when you narrowly miss a bad guy. I like the originality of it because it has some things no other star wars game has. The game has a lot of bad guys in space and on the ground. The fun factor is very high because it has you entranced in it until you beat the level. It all feels very real when you are in first person prospective and with the rumble feature it feels as if it is not just a game but real life like you must not lose because you could die. The games is also fun because there is no other game that gives you this much fun of flight adventure on land and racing in between trees in an endless forest. The lifespan is high because people want to unlock all the hidden features and play with friends in a dogfight, rampage, or cooprative mode. The camera modes are good except here is my only complaint on the part of a missoin when you are on foot the camera doesn't follow you it changes by itself and sometimes your character can die because of this. Every part on the other hand is excellent. One last thing I like how they made the ships better than before and i like the multiplayer mode. I am happy how the game is and how good the graphics and sound are. Now here are my scores on Rebel Strike. Graphics get a excellent 10 sound another 10 lifespan a 9 and gameplay another 9.
| The force wasn't really with him. | | Alex from Orlando, Florida says (16/Nov/2003): | As with others, I was really looking forward to this game coming out. However, I was slightly disappointed, mainly by the footman aspect. You can't change camera angles, it's a button masher and a run-and-gun part of the game. This is a cool new aspect of the game, but it's still in its early stages of developement. In the flying missions, the graphics are better, more realistic, and much more difficult. However, some missions are so difficult you can end up doing it over and over again, and the medals are WAY too demanding (I wish they did withot the targeting computer efficiency) Also, its not much different from the older Rogue Squadrons. Another problem, is your wingman, if you order them to get ties, they'll probably only destroy maybe one or two within 5 minutes. Ground targets, maybe less. The AI needs improvement, as the regular ties, theres many, but they aren't very smart. Another problem, yet again, is the fact that theres no noise when your butt is getting a whoopin by a stalking TIE.
The best thing about Rebel Strike, is the new multiplayer aspect. WHAT A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. The missions for CO-OPERATIVE are ripped from Rogue Leader, but its so much more fun when you can split jobs, like u can get the TIEs while he bombs a target. Another REALLY, REALLY cool thing is in the falcon, one is the turret operator, and the other is the pilot...pure fun at its best.
Overall this is a great game, in its growing stage, but I think this would have done a much better job being online. Nintendo really needs to look for a bigger multiplayer aspect online like XBox and PS2. The single player, ah, ok, but they shoulda done without it for now. The multiplayer is the best part of it all.
| Out does the Original!!! | | Lint from Alliston, Ontario, Canada says (6/Nov/2003): | At first glance you may think it will be a lot of the same stuff that was in Rogue Sqaudron 2 but believe it or not it greatly out does the second one. First of all the graphics are even improved upon which says a lot considering the graphics in the second one were all ready amazing. They also included digitalized portions of the movie into the game which is a plus.
On top of a great one player campaign they also included all the original Rogue Leader missions into a co-operitive mode, as well as a versus mode. Just including these multiplayer options make it twice as good as the original which was a solo adventure.
Then on top of an excellent core game there's all the small bonuses you can unlock which shows you the amount of quality and care put into the game by it's makers. The only complaint is that in the on foot portions of the game you can't control the camera and it takes a little while to adjust to the character controls. Even still it's a very impressive display on part of the producers for thier first game with people instead of just space crafts. All in all it is far better then most Star Wars games out there for two reasons. First of all it follows the movies fairly closely and you get to control characters and vehicles that are famously known in the Star Wars universe.(Not like in others where your some character you've never heard of and piloting space ships that you've never seen in a movie ei. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic). Second it's more then fun to play alone as with a friend, providing more replay value then most Star Wars games!
| the best yet, a cornerstone for games to come | | T Skywalker from Augusta , Georgia says (17/Nov/2003): | Rebel Strike is the best yet. I hope other Star wars games will be like this. It gives you flight missions with better gameplay action, better graphics, and 3rd person gameplay. You get the best of both worlds. This game should set a mark for future star wars games. Rebel strike allows you to dogfight with friends, having a wingman , which is used with the gameboy , I dont have a gameboy, but this is still a cool addition to the game. The missions are fast paced, not drawn out like some mission in Rogue Squadron II. There are also verses battles in 3rd person and in flight. This game has similarities of Jedi Outcast and Rogue Squardron rolled into one .I hope this is just the beging of future games to come. Rebel strike has old starwars arcade games you can play. There is more variety in this game than any I've played. I hope they will come out with a starwars game similar to this with 3rd person lightsaber action and flight missions,one game could have missions from a New Hope, Empire, Return of the Jedi-- as this game does only have the missions go along with the movies and have Nights of the Old Republic touch to it for lightsaber action all the way through as Luke, Obiwan, and darth vader, with the Empire and Return of the Jedi Luke-Vader duels.
| A welcome addition to any collection | | Andrew J Chapman from Thatcham, England says (26/Jan/2004): | Star Wars: Rebel Strike is the epitomy of the Star Wars saga, excellent graphics, realistic sounds, and a gameplay to die for whether you're a hardcore Star Wars fan or not. The story progresses deeper into the original trilogy emphasising on Empire Strikes Back, and of course Return of the Jedi. Yet has some interesting levels involving the first film, such as the Death Star Rescue mission. Yet whilst the gameplay, graphics and sound all deserve a 10 rating, there are a few lacking areas of the game. These include the short lifespan of the game i personally completed and got all gold medals within the space of a day, so its not game with longevity. The replay value is ok considering you play over the same missions again, except the choice of craft is greatly increased. (Going into the bridge of the Executor with an A-wing is still one of the best moments of the game)
Obviously the originality rating from the game could never make a 10, too many companys have tried and failed to realise the Star Wars universe that George Lucas achieved with his films, this game has got to be the best of the bunch. (The inclusion of the Arcade game from all those years gone by is much appreciated)
Overall, a must buy game for all ages.

| being FORCED out | | Hannible from Toronto,Canada says (27/Oct/2003): | I was really looking forward to this game,as i have loved all the rogue squadron adventures. from playing the demo disk, i thought that getting out of the ship might be kind of cool.gonig around,take out some AT's and such.HOWEVER...it turned out to be the worst thing ever!!!In one game, they ruined the series for me. Dont get me wrong,i still love 1&2,but 3 is the worst.i hate the missions where you arent in some vehicle.If i wanted a star wars game where you have to run and jump,there are plenty of (bad) ones out there. i wanted rogue squadron!!! i've beat the game,and let me say that there is still some really good rogue action,the graphics are great, and the sound effects are amazing. on the gamplay side,all vehicle missions are great, all on foot missions are horrible. there are some that have both,and both of my former views apply to these. for me, the lifespan and fun factor is limited to only vehicle missions. if the next game has getting out and runing around....i will not buy it. anyone who is thinking about buying this game cause they think getting out is great, find someone who has it and has the "trials of the jedi" mission unlocked. i think you'll change your mind.
| Rouge Squadron III: Rebel Strike is by far one of the best games I have played all year. | | Michael from Maryville, TN,USA says (25/Oct/2003): | Star Wars Rouge Squadron III: Rebel Strike is by far my favorite game in the series. Not only do you get to fly a wide variety of craft, you also get to run around on foot and shoot people with blasters and use a lightsaber. Another reason I love the game is that it has an impressive versus and co-operative modes, which were needed in the other games to make them better. The game features a variety of levels and a lot of bonus missions. One of my favorite missions is Relics of Geonosis. I love flying the jedi starfighter and using sonic charges. I also enjoy watching the beggining of the game where everyone is dancing, and the arcade is short but fun. I also like flying the Tie Hunter, and the Tie Bomber. I recommend this game to any age, but it is a little complicated to catch on if you have never played a game in the series before. I don't really know any codes for the game,but it is a blast anyway. I can't wait for Rouge Squadron IV to come out if they design one, and this time I hope they don't make it to where you have to play Tatooine Training before playing the first true level.
| HEY SIMONE! | | Phillip from Detriot Michigan says (2/Nov/2003): | You got a lot of guts claiming your a Sar Wars fan. According to what you said, you have hardly played the game. I own it, the graphics are incredible, the new particle lighting system is brillent, its replayability is high, i keep coming back for more! Don't even get me started on the story line, following not one character but two! How good does it get. I am a die hard Star Wars fan whom has read 98 of the expanded universe books, i have played almost all of the video games, and i watched the 100 movies to many times to count. In other words i know my stuff! From the sounds of it, you are some guy watched the Star Wars movies a couple of times and said "Hey this is pretty cool, i guess that makes me a Star Wars fan." Reality check, your no better than the Lord of the Rings fans whom have only seen movies, not read the book. Heres a few other notes for you "Simon from Canada." Are you aware that the game has multiple bonus levels and bonus ships that can be unlocked, this feature alone makes the game worth the $50 bucks! Think about this the next time you go to dis Star Wars!
| A little better than average. | | Dan Antle from Louisiana, USA says (21/Feb/2004): | This game has the best visual and audio of any Star Wars game I've ever played. And the co-op and dogfight modes are great. However the game's mission variety was poor. The speederbike was good and so was the AT-ST's. I would like there to be a full trilogy instead of what was just missing from the predessessor (Rogue Leader). The heart of Rogue Squadron is piloting and should be the forefront. The idea of bringing Luke to Degobah and "learn to use the force" for what? Two levels. That was a waste.
I would have enjoyed Battlefield Hoth more if I was able to fight in the speeder before being brought down. The Executor battle was cool. But was basically the same as the shipyard. The Battle of Endor was a much better last stand than the lack of cohession of Rebel Strike's ending.
All-in-all, the piloting of vehicles were very good. Keep that and graphics with the sound were much better than the other Rogue Squadrons, but the ground missions aren't what they're cracked up to be.
| AWSOME GAME, rent it or buy it now!!! | | Yoda's assasin & Ewok hunter from Boise,USA says (10/Dec/2003): | The only problem I've seen is how hard it is to get medals on some missions. The imbisiles (INSULT!!!) who hate the game must be some sereously hardcore trekies (NOT INSULT!!!) or something (I DON'T LIKE STAR TREK!!!). GOOD GRAPHICS, compair this game with Star Wars Bounty Hunter cutscenes. The TIE fighters are awesome in multiplayer, they have an incredable rate of fire. Another cool vehicle is the AT-AT, the downside of it is that you cant totally control it (It moves and steers on it's own) but you have complete control over the head and big guns. Beware of the Fondor shipyard level, it's probably the hardest level in the game in my opinion, turrets everywhere and to many tight spaces(killed me 10-30 times combined).If the ranking went to 1,000,000 I would give this game that score. If you want a good flight game this is it so far, watch for other games coming out like Star Wars Republic Comando (Summer 2004).
Sorry about any typos
| when its good its very good | | doug constable from st leonards ,england says (18/Nov/2003): | I was very excited when I heard that Factor 5 were working on another Rogue Squadron game as I am not only a complete Star Wars nut, I am also a big nintendo fan and really liked the first 2 RS games as well as the Episode I based game "Battle for Naboo". However I was concerned about the on foot sections of the game. They have never been very successful in other SW games and unfortunately this game turns out to be no exception. The levels which concentrate on flying however are pure genius and somehow manage to look even better than Rogue Leader. The only ground based parts that work are the AT-ST levels which are good fun. So all in all an extremely good game in parts only held back by some truly dire on foot levels.
I have to add that the addition of multiplayer is long overdue and very welcome. Also it is an absolute joy to play the original Star Wars and ESB arcade games again after so many years- aaah, my lost youth!!!
| It's worth the money. | | Matthew from Brookline, Massachusetts, USA says (31/Dec/2003): | This is definitely the best star wars game that has come out. Its worth every cent you saved up for it. The graphics were the best I've seen, the sound was impressive and taken straight from the movies. The story line is taken from the first 3 movies and the feel of the ships haven't changed. The new feature of being abled to walk is cool, the pace could be a little quicker, and auto aim should be removed. The light saber levels are cool, follows the script of what Luke knows what to do with it. The game was a bit short, but the trick they put in was so that you'd have to go back to playing to get more points to unlock the secret missions and ships. If you didn't realize it the first time you played, the second time you'll realize this game was fun and you'll be going back to the missions you like and you'll be there some time.
| Rebel Strike Kicks Tail Pipe | | "Poppy" from Westville, New Jersey says (4/Nov/2003): | I rented Rebel Strike thinking it was just another Rogue Squadron 3D takeoff like Rogue Leader was. Well, I was completely wrong. There are dozens of new craft and missions, new challenges and unlimited cans of whoop---. I was dissapointed at the on-foot part of the game, as the controls and camera angles where pretty awkward. Though that is to be expected, as this is the first time you play on-foot in a Rogue Squadron game. (Thus why I give it a 9). The game was full of suprises, especially the end of "Guns of Dubrillion" level. I also felt the star wars disco remix was pretty catchy, if I say so myself. Wich reminds me of the arcade. I thought it was really cool that you could play the old 1983 star wars games when you beat the game. So I give it a 9. -1 point due to the on-foot thing. Hopefully more will come.
| I am a massive fan, but..... | | UncleFister from Downpatrick says (15/Nov/2003): | I have had all the Rogue Squadron games, and I have to say that this is my least favourite. Rogue Leader was far better. The thing I don't like is the on-foot missions. They're pretty bad. It usually involves blasting corridors full of Stormtroopers. It is a little easy, but this is due to complaints that Rogue Leader was too hard. This is still a very good game never the less. The lighting effects are even better than the previous, the new ground mision on the bike and in the walkers are cool. The things I miss are the camera options, I loved closing in to see the detail, now you can't do that. I'd also like to see the model viewer return. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fun, the two player game is superb racing, fighting and working together this is good!
| it left me speechless | | A gamer from beccles uk says (23/Nov/2003): | I think that this game is the most excellent thing i have played in the past year. the graphics are superb the gameplay is fantastic and the mission structure is great.sure the walking parts have bits which are hard to control but in all the other rogue squadron games you haven't been able to play the most cool and heroic parts of the film,for example the sarlacc pit and the battlefield hoth mission.It is hard to rack up enough points to unlock the bonus missions but hey i just replay the missions and try to get better at them and i don't complain because thats part of the fun of it. I absolutely love the multiplayer and versus missions especially the endor race.if i see a better game on the market by the time its january i'll shove a banana up my arse.That's a promise.
| very good game | | A gamer from USA, livonia , MI says (27/Oct/2003): | First of all i would personally like to beat the ^#&*$&(# #$< remove me > at < remove me > at out of the people who rate this game a 5 or below to downrate this game even when they havent played it. Doing that is just rediculous. It shows you have no class (or a life). 2nd, this game is very good despite what all the critics say. Even the pro rating sites have misjudgded this game in my opinion. Sure some of the ground missions are a bit flawed, but not unplayable. IN fact, some are quite fun. Beyond that everything else in the game is supurb! If you are even thinking about getting this game i suggest you do so. Its one of the best games to ever come out on any system. Even if you aren't a major star wars fan i still suggest you get this. Its a great game.
peace out.....bjjkd.......
| "Perfect! A Gaming Masterpiece!" | | Adam Heath from Hereford, England says (10/Nov/2003): | Upon buying Rebel Strike, my most anticipated game of the year, I rushed home and put it in my cube. Fron the silky visuals at the start you could feel the tension rising. I skipped the Tatooine training and went straight to the revenge of the empire level. As soon as the fmv's finished you were straight in the action, taking out huge flying ships. Since then i have got upto the fondor shipyard stage, where you take out an Imperial Super Star Destroyer. Some of the on foot bits are fiddly though but the greatness of the additional co-op and versus modes make up for it. I hope others will enjoy it's sheer brilliance as I have. It will stay in your cube for the next few months!
| good but not that good | | A gamer from ireland says (29/May/2004): | I would have gave this game a 10 if the developers had of included one new level, a fight with darth vader at the end of return of the jedi, it would have been far better than the bonus level unlocked the endurance thing were stormtroopers just keep coming out. Wen i did the yoda training i thought that this wud mean i take on vader in the last level, even wen i did the sarlac level i definitely thought it was keeping straight to the trilogy, i was sadly dissapointed to finish the last level as not even luke but as the guy who crashes into the executor, why all the on-foot levels and then not a final battle with darth vader level, it would not have been that hard to do.
| Just Another Star Wars Game | | Anonymous Critic from USA says (28/Oct/2003): | Okay, it was good at first but then became awfuly boring. It is getting old, these "Star Wars" games, and just plain stupid. How many times will they make a game, which is just like the others; you have a big battle, you have some little batlles or objectives, and then get to the final battle. The characters are weak, and there was a big downfall since last edition. The graphics are decent, but could have been improved. The controlls were extremly hard to cope with, and I disliked these things, and believe you should not get the game, unless you like old-school games. I have been said to be good at rating games, and strongly suggest you listen to me.
