I sense the light and darkside in this one.......

The Good
Boy, if there was ever a game that was a mixed bag, this is it. The graphics are AWESOME. TOTALLY. REALLY! The missions where you are in a ship like an A-Wing are incredible, just like the two previous ones. The two original Star Wars arcade game classiscs can be unlocked. You get a multiplayer version of Rouge Leader too! The beggining cutscene is a disco with the Star Wars characters!!

The Bad
Like alot of previous Star Wars games, the voices suck. Finally, the ground missions are horrible. This was hawked as a new feature in the Rouge Squad series, but it just made this game a lot worse than it should have been. First, on the ground missions, the camera is permenantly stuck on one angle, so you will fall off cliffs u didn't know were there etc. Fighting stormtroopers etc. s even worse. Half the time the camera obscures your view so you just fire randomly hoping your shots hit them. The enemies will gang up on you, surround you and kill you in 7 seconds because you can't walk around them. Lightsaber is awful with a slash that looks like a 4 year old could do it. (no offense to you kids.) I could just keep going on and on about the problems that plauge the ground campaign, so let's just suffice to say that they are horrible and you should avoid them.

The Bottom Line
If you are a Star Wars fan, you should get this, but if not, just get Rouge leader instead.
