5.0 out of 5 stars THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE..., November 3, 2003

By	Red Sox (concord, mass) - See all my reviews

Rebel Strike is the third game of the great Rogue Squadren series. This one seems to be the best yet. Unlike the other two games, you are now able to fight utilizing vehicles, blasters and lightsabers. New Vehicles were also added such as the Tie Bomber, Tie Hunter, Jedi Starfighter and the list goes on! The replay value is unbelievable and the graphics breathtaking! Did I mention it also has multiplayer and co-op? IF anyone has written a review claimiing that Rogue Leader is better, there dead wrong as you can play all the missions of Rogue Leader in co-op! This is one of the best games for any console right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun when Rebels strike, April 5, 2006

By	Simon (Brampton, ON) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Rebel Strike is the third game in Factor 5/Lucasarts' Rogue Squadron series. It is an arcade flight shooter with tactical elements, and this installment mixes things up by including on-foot and vehicle missions.

I like how Factor 5 dared to be different this time around. You get to play as an AT-ST walker and direct Ewoks to trigger their traps on Endor. You also get to relive the famous speeder bike chase, and thanks to some truly stunning graphics this scene is just as cool as it was in the movie. In fact a lot of this game covers sequences that the previous installment, Rogue Leader, didn't cover. If you put the two games together you pretty much get a complete Star Wars Trilogy package.

The flight missions are still top-notch. The Jedi Starfighter makes a cameo this time around, and you get to drop those cool seismic charges like in the movie. The on-foot missions though, are somewhat problematic. You can run around and blast Stormtroopers, but the controls feel a bit loose and the aiming reticle doesn't always latch onto the person you want to shoot at. Jumping can become a royal pain, especially in the Dagobah and Sail Barge missions. Overall these missions are playable, but their unrefined qualities make them too easy compared to the flight and vehicle missions, and they work mostly as a mild diversion.

We also get a bunch of bonus content in Rebel Strike. ALL of Rogue Squadron is available in 2-player co-op mode, and I'm surprised Factor 5 managed to squeeze it all in. There are dvd bonuses like art galleries, a making-of, and even audio commentary. There's also the 80s Star Wars arcade games wrapped in a funky disco-themed menu. Overall while the on-foot missions have flaws, there's a ton of fun and value in the package that can't be overlooked. This is a must buy for Star Wars fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop playing, September 22, 2004

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

First. I have never liked Star Wars games, they are either to long and boring, they didn't feel like Star Wars, or are meant for dia hard gamers. I got this game as a gift from my brother who is the only person I know loves star wars games since the Nintendo games.
Boy I was in for a pleasant and unexpected surprise. This game is very good. And you really feel you are part of the trilogy. Locations are great, graphics are good 5 channel sound I liked. Best of all gameplay is great. Although the flying parts of the missions are kind of difficult to learn if you are not familiar with other Rogue Squadron games or ones that require flying, they are a lot of fun.
I already finished the regular missions, but I feel the need to get the medals to unlock the bonus missions, which are five, I already got three and have played the first one. I like the fact that you want to play more even when the main story is finished, not like other games that you are in an urge to beat them just to know the ending and get it over with.
I like the fact that you can play not only with luke, but with Han, Wedge, Chewie driving an Imperial Walker and that bring us to another cool part, you get to drive different kind of vehicles and fly different ships in some missions you can choose which you want to fly.
If you are a beginner you will enjoy it and if there are missions which are too difficult you can enter a passcode for unlimited lives or to unlock the different features, but you can't unlock the bonus missions. If you are a medium level gamer you can be challenged to get as many medals as you can to unlock as many or all the bonus missions and if you are a hardcore gamer this game will certainly be a challenge to get better times and scores to get all the bonus missions and unlock space ships like The Millenium Falcon, Slave 1 and tie fighters to name some.
When you finish the regular missions with or without medals you get a documentary and also the Empire Strikes Back arcade game. And if you finish the first bonus mission you unlock the Star Wars arcade game. Both of them are not artistic master pieces compared to modern day technology but if you grew in the 80's its may bring good memories of the primitive stages of home computing and video gaming.
Last BUT NOT LEAST. You can enjoy cutscenes taken out of the three movies, during the start, checkpoints and completion of the missions. Sort like the ones from Lord of the Ring games, with the difference that they don't transition from live images to digital ones. But still if you are a Star Wars fan you will enjoy them.
If you like Star Wars this is the best one I have ever seen or played, and if you are a gamer most probably you'll like this one.
I almost forgot the foot part of the missions are not as bad as people tell in the reviews I have read, still it has some problems especially in right angle corners, since the camera angle doesn't change until you have turned, but they are cool to play specially the recuing of princess Leia from A new hope.
