I might try this one then. In Rogue Squadron II, I got stuck on the 3rd or 4th mission where you have to save hostages or something like that. I looked up guides and tried different approaches and quit the game when none of them helped.
Oh man, i got this Game in December 2003 on Christmas here in Germany and it´s one of those Games that when playing it again it brings me back to this time!
The on foot missions were terrible. I respect that they took a shot with them tho. Developers don’t take risks anymore. To me this is a must own GameCube game even with it being the worst rouge squadron game.
Yeah I was a massive fan of rogue squadron 1 & 2 as well as Battle for Naboo. But I never got on with RS3 because of the on-foot stuff - it reminded me of playing as Dash in Shadows of the Empire and a lot of it was boring. I suppose the devs thought a third game with just ship combat wasn’t creative enough. It does have its high points - playing as the A-Wing pilot who took down the Executor in the Battle of Endor was pretty fun.
This is the one time I like my Short Term Memory Loss. Yes, this may contain spoilers, but in a couple of weeks time, I never gonna remember what those spoilers are and just enjoy the game! Great review.
even worse there was a compilation remastered that was headed to the Wii which would have improved the issues the original games presented, better graphics and added lightsaber battles with the wiimote but sadly the project got cancelled and never released.
From the old EGM magazine interviews this game the devs seemed to have been through some intense crunch (as was customary unfortunately). They were utterly tired of the IP by the end…
Not as good as rogue squadron 2. Mainly as the on foot battles were very clumsy compared to other 3rd person shooters of the time. With rogue squadron 1 and 2 it just focuses on vehicle combat and worked so much better because of it. a great game/s that doesn't get as much recognition due to them being set in the prequel universe are the Starfighter/Jedi Starfighter games. Not as graphically impressive but very enjoyable none the less
I liked the on foot stuff. Sure the camera and controls could've been better, but I was just fun to be able to experience a 3D 3rd person action game set in the original trilogy timeline. How many games have that? Exactly.
"Factor 5" had a vision with the third installment, and i respect that. However, the problem as the review already tells, are the On Foot Missions. You have all these unlockable ships, but can´t even use them in all missions, since 70% of them are On Foot. Then you have the choice between "Wedge Missions" and "Luke Missions". While the former are the missions you expect from a Rouge Squadron Game, the Luke Missions are really bad. On top of it, it all builds up to the Sail Barge Mission, in which you are finally a Jedi, which if i remember correctly can you beat in 1 Minute.
I honestly preferred Rouge Squadron 3 over 2 as a kid because of how hard 2 was (Especially the Razor Mission).
Same here. Rogue Leader almost made me rage quit.
I’m just replaying Rogue Leader now, after nearly 25 years - just got the gold medal on the razor mission 😂 never managed it back in the day though.

this game showed the true power of the GameCube, it even has Dolby Pro Logic IIx which is a variant of Dolby 7.1!
The Star Fox Assault of Rouge Squadron
yeah the on foot sections of both are hard roadblocks for enjoyment

This game is of my childhood favorites.
Simply the nicest reviewer on this platform, just oozes positivity lol.

RS 2+3 look great on my Wii with component cables.
Shame that Lair PS3 tanked Factor 5

How cool would it be if Nightdive studios made remasters of this, like they did Dark Forces!

on foot stuff really was the worst idea ever, strange how virtual chess vs chewbacca was not included also lol
4:00 - You could unlock AT-STs in the original Rogue Squadron!
I like Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike
It was my first star wars game. I loved every single second of it.
Thank you for letting me know that

lol never knew you could unlock arcade games
So Rogue Squadron gotta third game. But not KOTOR, BF, or TFU :(
I imagine what could have been the quality of graphisms if rogue squadron 2 and 3 were og xbox exclusivity and push the console to it's limits
that got moved over to the Wii as Star Wars Rogue Leaders but sadly it got cancelled

Isn't this what fans consider to be the worst Rogue Squadron game?
I personally love the co-op and multiplayer! My girlfriend is neither a Star Wars fan nor a big gamer, but we play together and have a blast.
I find the first rogue squadron to be highly overrated.. rogue squadron 2 is the best easily
I love 2 & 3 like my children. One's definitely a bit more eccentric but they're my babies ❤
Hello
E v zoo ten pairs erry week!
Gorrila zoe - hood figga
Still not good as colony wars😂
Wow. I did not expect the newest Star Wars game to look so...dated? Terrible for 2024 standards. And they charge $70 for this? Unbelievable.
lol. This game is 21 years old.
