Customer Reviews of Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2
Good shooting game! I love this game with the missions espaiclly the Battle of Endor because there are many tie fighters to shoot and you have to shoot tie bombers.The mission that is hard is Strike of the Core,because you have to protect the Millemiun Falcon all the time by the tie fighters.It's great game for shooting experts.
In The Minority I Guess
Let me state from the get go that I am a huge Star Wars fan. I remember seeing the original Star Wars in the theaters (sans the "Episode IV" tag line) in 1977. Sadly, the Rogue Squadron series, in my opinion, has been a disappointment.

>The Positives. Graphically, there is probably not a better presentation on any home console to date. I love the overlaying of graphics with original movie footage. The detail it provides is amazing for the current generation of consoles. The sound presentation is also spot on. The sound effects of the films are accurately represented and give a genuine feel of wild dogfights in space.

>Sadly, it is the dogfigts that ultimately doomed this game and the series for me. Too often I found myself lost in space not knowing where to go or what exactly to do. I often had trouble reading the scope at the top of the screen, would find myself flying sideways, or flying to far away from the action and then having the game reset my position. Appearantly I relied too much on the targeting computer (since I couldn't see anything) and would then be penalized for it.

>The final nails in the coffin? Taking down AT-ATs (again) and those cursed escort missions! I just can't handle having to babysit poor CPU A.I. while having to fend off hordes of TIEs and other assorted Imperial weaponry. No thank you.

>In my opinion, in the console market, the best Star Wars are Battlefront, Battlefront 2, and Knights of the Old Republic. The Battlefront series has a much better Star Wars feel of battle and Knights of the Old Republic has an amazing storyline. If you have a PS2 and Xbox (for Knights) I suggest these three classics. If you all have is a Gamecube and you want to play Star Wars, well, have fun . . . .
ARGH! (tears hair out) It's too hard to be fun
I see many other reviews raving about the graphics. They're right. Stunning. But to use an analogy - A beautiful woman with a poor personality, makes for a lousy date. This Star Wars games is very beautiful, but poor personality. FLAW: This game is just too hard. Remember the Star Wars scene where Luke loops rope around Walkers? It's in the game, but insanely difficult. It took me about 30 attempts. Not fun.

>Then I went against some shield & planet base. 10 minutes of boredom cruising through asteroids, followed by 1 minute of insane punishment by killer guns. Dead. Repeat 10 more minutes of asteroid boredom. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Argh. Then I had to kill a Star Destroyer! One tiny fighter against a Destroyer?!?!? Nuts. 6 hours later & about 100 attempts, I just barely beat it with about 1% life left. It was frustrating, NOT fun. Now I'm on some planet where I get killed off in about 3 minutes. I've repeated this level another 50 times already, and I made some progress, but I'm not enjoying the time wasted. Isn't that what gaming's about? FUN? Well, this ain't.

>I'm dumping this game. Frankly, I'd rather go replay Colony Wars or Starfox or Elite. They may not look as pretty, but they make for better dates. All were challenging w/o making you feel like a hampster stuck in an infinite rolling wheel. And they were FUN.
