Star wars rogue squadron pc download
Who hasn't wanted to be a pilot for the Rebel Alliance? Although Rebel Assault and Rebel Assault 2 actually let you fly through various mission-based levels with different craft from the Star Wars universe, Rogue Squadron takes it a step further and loses the track-based gameplay, letting you completely immerse yourself in a 3D flying adventure.
You can swoop, barrel-roll, loop, and bank with some ships, all the while shooting down enemy vehicles and protecting Rebel Alliance installations. You start the game learning the basics by piloting an X-Wing fighter through a few training missions, but you'll soon gain access to four other ships, including theY-wing,the A-wing, the snowspeeder, and the experimental V-wing. Each vehicle is fitted with both a primary and an auxiliary weapon--and you'll need both in this high-flying, fast-shooting game.
Taking the best part of Shadows of the Empire the Hoth sequence where you face the AT-ATsthe developers at LucasArts have enhanced the flight model with true pitch, roll, and bank mechanics for each craft Because every ship is a uniquely designed vehicle, they have individualized machinery--some are faster, some have better shields, and so on.
Taking place between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, star wars rogue squadron pc download, Rogue Squadron sends you on different missions to far-reaching areas of the universe, most of which are star wars rogue squadron pc download only by the most avid Star Wars fanatics see sidebar, "Follow the Bright Yellow Rogue". But there are some more generally known areas, like Tatooine, Lukes home planet,and Corellia, birtfb place of both Han Soto and Dash Rendar.
You play as some familiar and some not-so-familiar Rebel leaders, like Dack Luke Skywalker's backup snow-speeder pilot on Hoth and Wedge Antilles the only Rogue pilot other than Luke to survive all three films. You must help protect the Alliance from the forces of the galactic Empire, which is tightening its hold on the Rebels after the latter's stunning victory over the Death Star.
Graphically, the game will dazzle you in the hi-resolution mode which requires the N64 Expansipn Pak with sleek ships, fairly fast flying action, and blazing battles and explosions.
In the standard low-resolution mode, the game is still a fine-looking shooter, though the jagged edges of the ships and the terrain will eventually force you to spend some bucks on the Pak. The game's even more impressive in the sound department. Using a proprietary sound compression system, LucasArts has found a way to squeeze over 80 minutes of audio 40 minutes of speech and 40 minutes of music into the cart You'll hear the symphonic mastery of John Williams' classic score resonate throughout changing its tone and urgency as dictated by the action, also be privy to star wars rogue squadron pc download cockpit chatter amongst the squadron, which heightens the realism of the game.
Two areas where the game is tempered are the control and speed. The controls, while intuitive for star wars rogue squadron pc download most part have a definite learning curve. Handling the pitch and sway of a fighter is no easy task, and if your frustration threshold is low, you may find yourself going AWOL with the Rogue.
The game's jittery speed is also apparent from the start Although not as fast as StarFox which, in all fairness, was on rails for the most partyou could contend that if Rogue were any fester, the enemies would be harder to target. Another area that would have made this game a five-star hero is the inclusion of a multiplayer game. It was included early on in development, but was removed to enable the development team to focus its creative energy solely on producing a great one-person shooting game.
And that's where Rogue Squadron sits--as one of the best games out there this year. It will challenge Zelda and Turok 2 for your money this holiday season--but if you're a fan of Star Wars, there's no replacement for Rogue Squadron. The graphics are crisp, clean, star wars rogue squadron pc download, and detailed, but you'll only fully enjoy them with the N64 Expansion Pak--worth it by all means. Without it, the game suffers from draw-in, fog, and jaggies. Once learned, the controls will seem like second nature, but there's a definite learning curve.
Younger players and those with star wars rogue squadron pc download patience may find themselves gnashing their teeth. With the best sound of any game on the N64, Rogue Squadron helps LucasArts dispel the myth that good sound is absent from this system. Strong music, good voices, hearty explosions--your ears will prick up likeYoda's.
Star Wars fans will readily join the Squadron on their adventures this holiday season, and even casual flyers will enlist Rogue Squadron takes you to new heights in the Star Wars universe! While I would have preferred a dogfight game set in space rather than based on the first level of Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron still captures the feel of the Star Wars flicks--and that alone is enough to pump up the game's score.
The music, radio chatter featuring a Mark Hamill sound-a like and sound effects are all phenomenal, but it's the graphics that really shine. Vehicle models are amazingly detailed, while the rolling terrain which you can scorch with your blasters is littered with sprawling cities, Imperial bases, even scurrying stormtroopers you can strafe, star wars rogue squadron pc download.
And while Rogue Squadron looks fine in standard resolution, you'll definitely want the RAM Pak to play the game in hi-res--although the frame-rate suffers a bit and the virtual-cockpit view is too choppy. The 16 missions--all of which are interspersed with slick in-game cinemas--offer a decent variety, often mixing multiple objectives such as escort and search-and-destroy. While most of the first 14 missions offer a decent challenge, the last few are insanely difficult.
You'll need to destroy every structure in previous missions to gather weapon upgrades, but you'll want to refly them anyway to earn Gold Medals no easy feat and access the three kick-ass bonus missions.
I only wish it had multiplayer. It makes sense--take the best part of Shadows of the Empire and make an entire game out of that style of gameplay, star wars rogue squadron pc download. Ah, but star wars rogue squadron pc download addition to this, Rogue Squadron star wars rogue squadron pc download incredible hi-res graphics, tons of voice and an overall solid feel, star wars rogue squadron pc download. On the downside, some of the missions get a bit repetitious but luckily others have more interesting objectives that help to get things moving again.
Still, I think Rogue Squadron is worth a buy. It really is just like the first level of Shadows of the Empire blown out into a full game. The attention to detail is stunning throughout, with some brilliant subtle touches that suck you in to the Star Wars ambience. It's tough, but it's extremely rewarding if you go out of your way to get perfect results on each level.
If there was ever a way of rewarding diligent gameplay, giving bonus Star Wars stuff has to rank up there with the best. Rogue Squadron is easily my favorite console Star Wars game ye:. I wasn't expecting too much from it, but to my surprise the game is actually a lot of fun to play, and the graphics and sounds are awesome.
The missions are diverse and challenging the bonus ones rock! I wish there was a multiplayer mode, but aside from this minor oversight. I'm quite satisfied. LucasArts' second Star Wars game on the N64 actually borrows a bit from the first. Rogue Squadron takes what was arguably the Empire--the snowspeeder air-combat stage--and turns it P into a full-fledged game.
This 3D action-arcade sim drops you into the cockpits of several famous Rebel Alliance fighters--as well as some you've never seen before. You fly a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, including dogfights, star wars rogue squadron pc download, search-and-destroy, reconnaissance, escort duty and rescue.
For instance, one mission has you liberating Rebel Alliance troops from the planet Kessel, site of the Empire's prison and the infamous spice mines. Another mission has you protecting Mos Eisley--depicted in sprawling detail in the Tatooine desert--from Imperial Forces.
Fortunately, your craft will be armed with lasers, guided missiles, ion cannons and more. Each mission will also pack a secondary objective, which you won't need to complete to beat the game. Mission environments include canyons, deserts, forests and volcanic regions. Visually, the game looks pretty good--especially the ship models. You'll see plenty of smoke and real-time light effects, all in hi-res at 30 frames per second. Control in Rogue Squadron is similar to the snowspeeder stage in Shadows of the Empire.
One button gives you a turbo boost, while another drops the air brakes. Even the radar symbology will look familiar. Of course, these similarities should come as no surprise; the Rogue Squadron development team is being headed up by Mark Haigh-Hutchinson, the LucasArts project leader who designed Shadows' snowspeeder stage.
To begin this review with a summary of the Star Wars phenomenon would just be silly. To not be aware of at least one of the Star Wars films, you'd have to have been bom on another planet! However, on the off chance that you've been away visiting relatives on Alpha Centauri for the last 60 or 70 years, let's just quickly run over the important star wars rogue squadron pc download of this century:.
Of course, Star Wars has been in the news fairly recently following the decision by George Lucas to make himself pots more cash In the US thousands upon thousands of American fans queued for hours just to be the first to see the trailer for the first film in the new trilogy!
With a film franchise that stirs up this much excitement, it'd be daft not to make videogames! Star wars rogue squadron pc download, most people anyway. There are those that would buy an empty cardboard box if you stuck the Star Wars logo on it and called it a Star Wars Figure Special Containment Facility!
However, we'll leave those weirdos playing with star wars rogue squadron pc download limited edition Kenner Han Solos still in original packaging! If you've read any of the Star Wars books and comics, then you'll probably be aware that everything which deals with events in the Star Wars universe has to fit in with the overall storyline.
That is to say, every plotline must fit with events that have happened previously or are going to happen. Rogue Squadron the game as distinct from the Rogue Squadron stories on which the game is based is set immediately following the events in Star Wars. The plot to Rogue Squadron is basically as follows - Luke has joined Rogue Squadron, a newly formed unit of elite Rebel pilots, who have been ovtfitted with the best equipment available to the Rebel Alliance. Luke himself has yet to discover that Leia, the girl he rescued from the Death Star and who he secretly fancies c'mon, it's obvious!
He is also currently unaware that his arch nemesis Darth Vader is really Ms father Anakin Skywalker, due to chop Luke's hand off in a fit of paternal affection in the next film. So basically Luke is blissfully unaware of just how complicated family reunions are going to become. This is rather fortunate because he's got 16 missions to wade through if he wants to live long enough to get clobbered by a Wampa at the start of The Empire Strikes Back, so he needs to keep a clear head.
You begin the game in the Rebel Alliance hanger. Move around the hanger and you can view the ships which will be available for your missions. Note the phrase 'will be available' though, because at first you're limited to one specific craft for each mission. As you progress through the levels, star wars rogue squadron pc download, you find that you can come back and replay missions already completed, this time using different ships.
The incentive for this is the various medals you can win, but we'll come to them in a moment. The only missions where you can't come back and use a different craft are ones where you need a specific craft because of its capabilities - for example, you need a snowspeeder to bring down the AT-AT Walkers. Just like in Star Wars, our story begins on the desert planet of Tatooine okay, so Star Wars technically began in space aboard the Rebel blockade runner, but the pilot did move to Tatooine airly rapidly.
While Luke and the rest of Rogue Squadron are happily cooling their jets and exploring scenic Tatooine, the evil Imperials rather spitefully send down a whole host of vicious probe droids. Quicker than you can change the spare wheel on a Jawa sandcrawler, Rogue Squadron leap into action their words to defend the homestead! The idea here is to destroy all the probe droids on the planet as fast as star wars rogue squadron pc download before they wreck too much of the local cheap housing.
If you successfully take out the all probe droids, then you're faced with a new problem as Mos Eisley - the spaceport where Luke first met Han Solo - comes under attack from Imperial TIE Bombers. The first mission is basically a training one. The probe droids are hardly what you'd call dangerous opponents, with their lousy firepower, sluggish reactions and tendency to hover in a fixed position in mid-air just asking to be blasted.
Even the TIE Bombers aren't the most deadly of adversaries, having little In the way of air-to-air defences and usually relying on a covering force of TIE Fighters to keep them healthy - which on this occasion they don't have. This means that you have plenty of time to explore Tatooine and get used to the handling of your X-Wing. Eventually when you've tired of blasting probe droids, stormtroopers, sandpeople - and even helpless farmers, since you can basically shoot everything on the planet - you move on to the next mission.
This one's a little more tricky as you have to escort a slow moving convoy of hover-trucks through Imperial territory.
