Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike

"Good graphics,Good story...Luke out off his cockpit? You bet and its great!"

Star wars has been a national craze!,It's been on almost every Nintendo system,including many others.And also on Gamecube there was Rebel strike I and II...And now there is III!, the new installment in the series.And now luke can get out off his cockpit and run around!...

GRAPHICS: 9 The graphics are better than most gamecube games.Such as Cubivore,And Animal Crossing. They are brillantly colored and smooth. It's like you are in the game, but the downside is the cutscenes...Like in the Hoth battle you blow up two AT-AT's and each time it shows a cut scene,but it shows the EXACT SAME cut scene over and over..It leaves me craving a diffrent view,movement, or more debris. But it isn't, so therefore, I give it a 9.There could have been more effort.

STORY:8 Well, there isn't MUCH of a story. It's all three movies into one game! That is good! And also it has movie clips in the game! You have certain missions that you must complete,but the bad thing is that there is a mixture of attack of the clones and the other three. I DON'T WANT the ''new'' ones I want the old three!And I was in a starfighter fighting a Imperial star destroyer..Now they shouldn't have EVER seen each other because they are in diffrent times!. So for this I gave the mixture of games/movies a 2 point reduction.

CONTROL:8 The controls are a little wacky. I understand it though because this is Luke's first time out of his cockpit,but it feels as if he is sliding/walking on ice when you control him. He controls crazy and it's hard to get used to but it's not a BIG problem,. Also in the AT-ST,the controls are diffrent too.

SOUND:10 The sound is clear, crisp and beautiful, (No this isn't an advertisment for Sprite)It sounds as though the music came right out of the movie,but it didn't. Some music is from the movie,but that music isn't...Sounds as though it should!I I could actually hum some of the music..And at the begining there is a short disco song of the Star wars theme song. Lucas Arts,and Factor 5 did try in the music of the game!

*New additions 10! Rebel strike 3 has tons and tons of new features. Multiplayer!,This is a big thing because I used to have to play,let my friend play,play then let my friend play,so now we can end all disputes and play in peace,in co-op,or against,and there are a lot of ships to be picked from,X-wing,Y-wing,B-wing,A-wing,and millenium Falcon!. And the biggie is Luke is out of his cockpit!,I just can't get over it,I like Rouge 2,But I never really thought about Luke outside of it,Now I'm like''How DIDN'T I think about it?'',So as you can see there are new additions. And there are more!

Replay 10 It is highly replayable!You earn more ships,and medals for how quick you complete your missons. Extras like the Bonus ATARI star wars game, and comics! You earn things after you beat it...it just screams ''HEY I WANT YOU TO REPLAY ME!, THATS WHY I HAVE EARNABLE EXTRAS AFTER YOU BEAT ME!''

Buy or rent? To buy or not to buy...That is the question,Well I say BUY! BUY! It's an awsome game,with tons of extras, unlockables,and newbies!I Highly reconmended! Even to non-Star wars fans,all-in all, it is a good game,But I just don't give out perfect 10's often. Only for a perfect game,and I gave it an 8,because of the weird control of the charcters,and messed up combinnation of attack of the clones and Return of the Jedi,A new hope,and Empire strikes back.
