Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III - Rebel Strike

The Good
Well for one thing the graphics in this game are the best seen on the Cube so far. All the ships are perfectly detailed and when you go into the cockpit view you can see all those cool little buttons and gadgets. Shadows of the Empire and the first two Rogue Squadron games all had the same Hoth battle but finally in this game they have re done it as a foot mission. It stands out as one of the best levels in the game. There are many, many great unlockables. All the unlockable ships from the previous games are there as well as The Jedi Starfighter, The Tie Bomber, and the Tie Interceptor. All three of the Star Wars arcade games are included (Jedi being the best one) possible the greatest extra in this game is that Rogue Squadron 2 is included as co-op. And the whole theme of this game you can finally get out of your ship!!!!

The Bad
Although the graphics are great everything is the same as Rogue 2, Menus, ship models, everything. 90% of the multiplayer dog fight maps are just the old Rogue Squadron 2 single player maps. The on foot missions are handled very poorly, you basically just stand and rapidly press the A button while the auto-aim kills everything. Plot is almost non-existent and unlike the last game Dennis Lawson (the original actor) wasn't brought in to play Wedge. This isn't a huge deal but the guy they got to replace him sounds NOTHING like Wedge should.

The Bottom Line
Good game but way rushed. Wait until the price goes down before you buy this.
