I think that its a great game only I think they could of made the battle of hoth a bit longer, like giving you the chance to save the ion cannon are something like that? Still a great game altogether

Well, I've beaten all the normal missions, and unlocked and beaten a few of the secret missions.

Wedge's campaign is much better than Luke's. A lot more flying, a lot less running, and just plain more fun. Plus, with Wedge you get to fly the Jedi Starfighter and shoot the forward guns of an AT-AT. How cool is that?

Luke has some good levels, but not as good as Wedge's. My personal favorite of Luke's is his first level on Dantooine where you resuce Tycho. The speeder parts are just awesome.

Then there are two final levels that aren't assoiciated with either of Luke's or Wedge's campaigns. The first has you as Luke piloting a speeder bike in the forests of Endor. VERY fast. Very cool.

The second has you as Chewbacca in an AT-ST and then Han Solo on the ground. The AT-ST part is pretty neat, however Han's section is just stupid. Han's voice actor doesn't sound anything like him. Plus, they try to have some wierd final boss fight. Its stupid. You just run through the bunker and shoot while you do it. No challenge.

The extras level are pretty neat. One has you escaping the Death Star. This one's pretty good considering its a foot mission.

Another has you escaping Echo Base as Han. Its alright...

Then you've got the attack again the Executor, the Super Star Destroyer from Return of the Jedi. Its sweet. Kamikaze!

There's also an Endurance level, but I haven't unlocked it yet.

I have unlocked the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back arcade games. Star Wars is good of course, I have the demo disc though so nothing special. I'm not sure I like Empire...

I also got the documentary. Much better than Rogue Leader's. The audio commentary is about the same.

I've also unlocked Slave I but I have yet to use it. I hope they improved it from RL...

Factor 5 should have stuck to their strengths, which are creating great flight sim shooters. The third person action portion of this game RUINED the game for me. It was HORRIBLY done. I'm talking Terminator bad. You run around shooting with a camera that is never in the right place and the aiming is just off.

It completely ruined the game for me. Maybe I have no patience but I don't feel I should have to sit through such god awful gameplay to get to the good stuff.

I'll probably rent RSIII when I get the chance to. I've heard the flight missions are damn great, but the onfoot missions blow.

But as long as I can get through the on foot missions and back into the air, I'm happy

I don't think the on-foot missions were as bad as to ruin the whole game. They're not necessarily enjoyable, but they're not THAT bad...

If they made a whole game of just the on foot portion of the game, would you bother playing it for more than 10 minutes?
