  1. The visuals are astounding, the challenge is incredible, and the action is nonstop. [Nov 2001, p.140]

    With sleek modeling on all the craft, breakneck action and speed in all the levels, and detail that only a Star Wars fan can appreciate (like the Snowtroopers running towards the Hoth generators), this game is as superior in the graphics category as you can get.
  3. The controls and general feel of the game are very shallow. At no point did I feel like I was in a truly 3D environment, and I never felt like I was actually cruising around in space.
  4. Many of the missions in the game are just re-hashed from Star Wars games of the past, and though they are epic, they're not very exciting anymore.

    Loved this game all the way through. Its very replayable thanks to the nature of the missions and lots of rewards. Its much better than i expected and one of my favourite games in the past few years. Its a joy playing the missions as you fight to comeplete the objectives. You also recreate moments from the movies while playing. All good stuff. flaws are the amount of missions as there arent enough and due to the length the games has been harder to make it last. Cant wait for a sequel where they spend real time on it. Expand

    The gameplay is very fun. The graphics are outstanding. It's a lot harder than the first one, though, and that can get frustrating for anyone less than a flight sim pro. Expand

    Playing Rouge Squadron II is like being beat over the head with a gigantic breast: it hurts, but man you sure do like it. All the joy in this game comes from piloting the different ships, not from the satisfaction of beating a level, because, frankly, you already know what happens. I suggest getting cheat codes and goin' hog crazy in Slave I. Expand
