STAR WARS™: Rogue Squadron 3D

Crushed before playing

It's not working. Rouue squardron 3d working stopped massage box after black screen. Please help.

Listen to the reviewers. This has not been released it a fully working state. If you can get it to work (I was able to on my laptop but not my gaming PC) the graphics and controls are a pain to get right. I had to install a glide wrapper to get decent resolutions. The controller works but some of the controls make the ship fly away from the camera and it doesn't seem to properly recognise the analogue triggers. A keyboard and mouse combo would be good but the mouse aim doesn't work properly. So IF you can get it to work, chances are the controls will be janky in the extreme. Shame because I was looking forward to playing this. I'd wait until its fixed TBH.

I gave away my copy of Rogue squadron to one of my smaller nephews, it works but has scratches that cause me concern, now I can buy this and give him an .exe file in case his CD fries. Any ways, this game along with Pod Racer where the main games I've played of Star Wars, at least those I can remember and let me tell you, it is an absolute blast. You will be visiting multiple worlds, taking the fight to the Empire in different manners and even replay missions but using a different ship. Ever wanted to use a Y-wing instead of an A-wing and bomb the hell out of your enemies? You can! Also the genuine voice actors, dialogue and how 'real' the squadron feels is amazing. I felt part of a team and there's plenty of banter during the missions. Lock those X-wings and soar through the sky my friend, a must buy!

Can be compared to a Star Wars version of Terminal Velocity. Missions are varied but too directive. Any straying will instantly result in a 'Mission failure' screen. Levels are too short, too easy or frustratingly hard. Even the medal reward system does not make the game highly replayable. I wish it was possible to fly high above the ground, in any direction, barrel roll, dive on targets. Instead of that, fighters are dull to pilot, very slow and handling in a strange way because of the engine. Most of the time, you will remain horizontal. It does not feel like real 3D. There also lacks levels in space! Yet, this game offers a great alternative for arcade lovers who might find X-Wing or Tie-Fighter games too complicated.
