@TreeckotheRebel And "your" just another terrible speller and a troll. In your eagerness to spew your Gamer's Bitterness on people on the internet, you missed the "...to me"- bit in his statement. It's the best Star Wars game to him. Get it?
Once you mastered the First Person view mode, doing the trench run flawlessly is THE closest to the movie experience and incredibly rewarding feel to be part of the action.
I dis-agree. Sure this is the first mission in the game, but it's not very involving. (You only really need to go up and down and slow down every once in a while) It also fairs pretty poorly when almost every other version of the trench run is extremely hard, (X-wing, Super, the NES / Famicom games, and in the original rouge squadron) the only other trench run that is like in this game is from the lego games.
I agree. This game is one of my favorite Star Wars game, but the trench run was felt a bit easy. The reason is probably because it's the introduction to the game, and it follows the recipe of easy in the beginning and getting progressively harder. So... I'm willing to forgive it.
If there is one thing that modern star wars games is missing, it is the feeling of being IN the movies. Is there a modern star wars game that actually lets you play the set pieces from the films?
Dude this was awesome. I just started playing last night and I played just the first mission. It was so much fun. I think it’ll be my favorite though because the creators of this game is paying homage to Star Wars Arcade 32X on Sega Genesis which it was paying homage to the Star Wars Arcade Cabinet
The third entry into this series wasn't popular with many people, but one notably cool thing about it: You can play the old arcade games in their entirety inside of the base game.
I overall liked the space titles on PC more (have a joystick and more advanced controls), but the beauty of the Factor 5 games is the shields don't make unshielded craft almost pointless. The damage just feels so much more in line with the movies. If only I could have a good mix of the two, they were both brilliant in their own ways.
To be fair, almost every Luke was like getting the top seven people who can do Mark Hamill impressions. They were generally all good, but it's the same trick. Matt Mercer's Luke in Battlefront 2 is a genuinely new take on Luke without relying on Mark Hamill soundalikes.
This was it, I saw this in HMV and I was like "Right okay, where do I sign?". This game was a console seller and the best Star Wars game I've ever played, hands down. I loved my Gamecube and it all started with this. Also remember the slog to get all Gold medals for the missions, but I did it.
Same logic as a lot of EA James Bond games. "007, the terrorists have a nuke on board that ship!" "That's nice, but I need to mop up this spot so my armor can glow a nice shiny gold."
Sometime between when Luke is destroying the defection towers: "Red Leader, this is Gold Leader. We're starting our attack run now." (Gold Squadron heads for the trench) "I copy, Gold Leader. Move into position" (Vader and his 2 wingmen deploy)
Still one of my favorite Star Wars games of all time. Well, that and the original Battlefront games. Empire At War was good too. Oh, and Republic Commando, that was a great one. Y'know, before game companies started being extra greedy by making you pay extra just to finish the game.
I've got every Gold and Platinum/Ace Medals... it was a pain in the balls. This game is seriously hard for such a short game, excellent method for replayability 💥💥💥
imagine the old battlefront games except you can command each individual unit to either defend a certain command post, give cover fire etc. while also borrowing the game mechanics for space battles from this game.
I love how in the Trench run you can just brake to let Vader and the ties overtake you so you get behid them instead... I remember doing that ove rand ove rto try to get Vader, but he's invincible-
I remember playing the demo at target. Blew my mind as a kid. Bought a used GameCube just to play this. Now I can play it on an emulator on my phone...
I had so much fun playing this 1st level many many times when I was a kid, I was around 10 or 11 the game released. After the 1st couple of mission the game became pretty damn difficult to get silver & gold medals. Especially for a kid. Brings by great memories.
Good heavens you just kicked that level's butt! I was about that proficient at Battle for Naboo on the N64. Never really got to enjoy this game though.
Dear Disney Electronic Content, As much as I loved the SEGA Star Wars Arcade games and the Battle Pod game, let alone the Rogue Squadron Trilogy, please consider re-releasing the former and the latter to the Nintendo Switch.
Yes, the latter two Rogue Squadron games, the laser fire rate is cranked up like crazy. To counter balance that insane fire rate, you have to be *a lot* more careful about your accuracy if you're aiming for gold medals. That, and unless it's more of a placebo effect, it seems like in said games when you don't fire, you auto-charge up the first shot that comes out when you fire again so it does more damage. It makes burst fire an effective strategy for keeping your accuracy high.
This game was nearly perfect. the only fault I have with it was that the Tie Fighters weren't aggressive enough. coming from X-Wing Alliance which had hyper aggressive Tie Squadrons to Rogue Leader where they mostly just flew around taking pot shots at you was kinda jarring. However this game remains on my top 5 list of SW games ever made. 1 -Jedi Outcast 2 - X-Wing series 3 - Star Wars: Dark Forces 4 - Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader 5 - Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Barbara Goodman if you have a decent computer you can get the dolphin 5.0 emulator and get the rom for this game, switch around some settings and play the game at a nice, smooth 60 fps
After years of trying, I'm finally able to play it on PC with the emulator dolphin with very little slowdown! huge improvement over the last build. Edit: It has been SOOOO long since i messed around with dolphin i only found out yesterday the 5.0 build had been out for 3 years!

You boost your acc score that way. I used to fire at the Walkers in the N64 version for that same reason.

This will always be the best star wars game ever to me, the flying is so much better then the new star wars battle front that is out now!

Imagine it in VR
Knowing that Factor 5 is back in action, I have high hopes of seeing this beautiful trilogy brought to modern consoles.
Still havent seen anything remotely close

@@Ratkill9000the rogue squadron was kinda meh. Rogue leader and rebel strike were the real gems
If that is true then why no Rogue Squadron reboots?
Love how when you shoot the middle Tie fighter in a formation of 3, the 2 remaining immediately say "yo FUCK this!" and crash into each other.
"Wedge, Biggs, follow meretreat you've done all that you can"
geez Luke, pick one
Better Death Star trench run than Battlefront....shame a 16 year old game does it better

It would be cool if you could pull out of the trench in the end without getting shot down.
EA made the map different then Rogue Leader.

Rogue Leader had better Luke/Vader voice actors than the new Battlefronts
To be fair, almost every Luke was like getting the top seven people who can do Mark Hamill impressions. They were generally all good, but it's the same trick.
Matt Mercer's Luke in Battlefront 2 is a genuinely new take on Luke without relying on Mark Hamill soundalikes.

Gotta love those Cloud City gas cannisters hiding just out of sight, costing you the Gold XD
I'm pretty convinced that if LucasArts wanted to they could've have ported Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike over on to the Original Xbox and PC
2:53 Best explosion sound ever.
19 fucking years... and still looks amazing
“I’m gonna hit the brakes, they’ll fly right by.”
If only the rebel pilots had watched Top Gun before the trench run.
Top gun came out after.

Same logic as a lot of EA James Bond games.

thanks for the video, took me 8 tries until i was looking for a video just to find out that i have to BREAK in the trench run...
Probably the only game ever that got this scene right. This and Rebel Assault 1 to a certain degree...
The opening of this game blew me away like the battle of Hoth level in Shadows of the Empire on N64 back in December 1996.
