Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike

THE BAD:
Sometimes it is too hard to get a gold to unlock some bonus levels, but does that really matter?

SUMMARY:

Star Wars Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron III is the new Star Wars game for the Gamecube, in which my opinion is the best Star Wars game on a console so far.
There are some new vehicles you can use, including the AT-STs which personally I think are really cool. It feels good to be controlling one and destroying other people and letting them feel the pain that they gave to you!
You can now walk around in this game, which is really good because on the last game, you could only use vehicles, and not get out of them. I have gave this game 4.5 because you can get out of your vehivle, but only in certain places wherre there is a shiney blue thing, which is a shame but I suppose it would ruin the style of the game wouldn't it.
Sometimes you have people on your team as you invade battleships and you have a pistol and sometimes a storm trooper machine gun which really gives you a thrill.
This game is a must get for any Star Wars fans and for any gamer who likes flying and walking around and exploring places. I reallywanted this game, I got it, I completed it and I loved It - So should You! Get It Now!

THE BAD:
short levels even tho there fun and they get real hard some times and realy ez at other times

SUMMARY:
The game is great for star war fans and great for people who like flying games and action games. alot of reviews under rate this game just because of no reason or one one thing. most of the review who rate the game bad is not clear and thats because the game is not bad its COOL. let me tell you the game is real fun. the multi player rocks and the co op rocks. playing all of Rebel Strike ll with a friend is cool and will help you in some places. you should go out and buy it if you dont got it. this game is one of my fav GC games

THE BAD:
Too easy and too short, as well as a few flaws.

SUMMARY:
I really enjoyed the new vehicles, they were cool, especially taking control of an AT-ST. I also enjoyed the multiplayer stuff, it's a big change. My friend and I spent a long time on the co op Rogue Leader, they made it a lot harder. I tried playing it by myself but it's definitely more fun playing with a friend (and of course I lost real quick, because the second ship wasn't being manned and when either one of you runs out of lives in the life pool the game ends). Also the games where you went head to head against each other, those kept things fresh. The bonus disc that came with it along with the old Star Wars arcade games were good too. Factor 5 definitely put an endless amount of effort into this game. One more thing was the graphics. The graphics were truly breathtaking, crisp and clear images. A bad thing was that Rebel Strike itself was too easy, especially if you were a master at Rogue Leader. I thought that there should have been more air battles, and harder ones at that. The second thing is that the on foot levels were unpleasant. You couldn't really have control of the camera, and its too easy as there's a generous auto lock system, and you can just hammer at the fire button to take out a group. I also thought that the lightsaber would rock, but you can't really do much with it. That frustrated me a lot. What I truly think about Rebel Strike is that it's an all around good game. However, if you are a casual looking-for-an-awesome-game person, I wouldn't really buy Rebel Strike. If I was a true Star Wars fan that can take a few flaws, I'd definitely buy this game.

THE BAD:
the new, scaled down AI, is much weaker than the one in Rogue Leader so if you found Leader unbeatable, then this may be more for you're liking.

SUMMARY:
the game is pretty good by most standards, but thruth be told there are some major flaws in it. Factor 5 went a long way with Rogue Leader, perhaps too far because now they have released Rebel Strike. If you are a die hard star wars fan, then the game is good and you might want to consider it, but if you were a fan of Rogue Leader and that's it then i'm going to have to say rent it first. the scaled down AI makes even the ace mode somewhat easy and the grainy graphics that accompany the frustrating controls for the ground missions only detract from the game. some upsides to the game is that the space missions are as stunning as ever and some new controls and features for the craft make those fun, the fact is that there aren't really a lot of them. in fact the entire Luke side of the campaign has only speeder and ground battles, whereas the Wedege side only has about five space missions. I suggest the game to fans, but to those who are looking at it in passing i say RENT IT, and then make your descision.
