Star Wars Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron III

[Lord Ryu Li Ri Tzu]

^ Whew, that's kind of a long title ^_^;;

Anyway, I just got this yesterday (monday the 17th)... anybody else play it? I think it exceeds the predecessor in a lot of ways. Being on foot again reminds me of Shadows of the Empire for N64 (a classic =D).

However, I've noticed that they haven't had the feel or the humor that the first Rogue Squadron had =( I miss hearing when I use the Millennium Falcon: "Those quad-guns pack a punch" and "Chewie's not gonna be happy."

BTW... I find it kinda messed up that they had a mission on Geonossis (<- I don't think I spelled it right... oh well...). I mean... flying a Jedi Starfighter was kinda cool, but yet it doesn't seem to fit in with the timeline well =(

Iv'e played a bit of it. The foot sections are a bit crappy though. They feel dull, run round mashing A. And trials of jedi is supposed to be hell on earth. At least the flying buts are still gold (my brother should be happy when he comes back from uni, hes been a big fan of all the Star wars rogue games). I suppose I better play it sometime (sadly iv'e become addicted to trying to snake it in F-zero GX).

I've played a little bit, and my friend said I could borrow it once he's done. It's pretty damn underrated, because the flying is really effing cool. And you're right, the on foot missions are like SotE. Both awesome games. ^^

I'll admit, the foot missions are a tad dull at times... but they're not the worst. If they had more of an SOTE feel to them, it'd probably be better.

And Trial of the Jedi is pretty hard at first, but once you get used to it, it's not bad. It's the Saarlac Pit that I had trouble with o.o;;

Well... at least they fixed the Millennium Falcon a LITTLE bit... I mean, in the last game it was crap. It had a very poor turning radius, and the quad-guns were situated so one shoots forward and the other tracks ;; In Rebel Strike, both track a little bit, and I think the turning radius was fixed a little (I'm not sure... I only used it once)... but it definately doesn't amount to the MF from the first Rogue Squadron.

I like it, but I don't think it lives up to Rogue Leader. I found Rebel Strike to be very easy, except that dang Trials of the Jedi, which I never beat (I rented it). Rogue Leader was rather hard, and it has actually taken me two years to even start to get medals. So either I suck, or the game hates me. I personally prefer Rogue Leader, but thats my opinion and no one has to agree.

[Lord Ryu Li Ri Tzu]

I like both... but I'm still partial to the first Rogue Squadron =)

And I'm sure you don't suck at Rogue Leader... the game's just annoyingly hard with the medal requirements =( On the first RS and even Rebel Strike, I was able to get at least a FEW Gold Medals... but in RL, I don't believe I got a single one ;_;

I will say this about Rogue Leader though... the Battle of Hoth and... err, I forgot the exact name, but the level where you play as Darth Vader on Yavin... were a lot better than most levels on Rebel Strike =)

I wish they would make another level like the Imperial Construction Grounds on the first Rogue Squadron though. Infinite time to destroy everything! I always shot down my wingmen because they got in my way >=)

I got golds on the first one, I actually did get a silver in Rogue Leader, and best i could seem to do in Rebel Strike for the week I had it was silvers.
