Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, développé par Factor 5 et LucasArts, est paru le 17 novembre 1998 sur PC et Nintendo 64. Le joueur incarne Luke Skywalker au sein de l'escadron Rogue, un groupe de douze pilotes d'élite réunis avec Wedge Antilles pour contrer l'assaut de l'Empire, et mène des missions planétaires aériennes intenses comme des combats aériens, des reconnaissances ou des bombardements. Le titre propose d'affronter l'Empire aux commandes de X-wings, Y-wings, A-wings, V-wings et snowspeeders, face à des AT-AT, AT-ST et chasseurs TIE, à travers divers environnements et avec des effets 3D en temps réel. Classé dans le genre jeu de tir, il est édité par Disney Interactive Studios, Nintendo, LucasArts et Gradiente, et son prix est de 9,75 euros. La presse a salué le jeu, Gaming Age écrivant qu'aucun possesseur de N64 ne devrait le manquer et qu'il s'agit d'un premier classique de la console depuis Mario 64, tandis qu'Electric Playground a exprimé une grande satisfaction envers l'expérience de pilotage du snowspeeder. Certains joueurs se sont remémoré les nombreuses heures passées à obtenir des médailles d'or ou à engager des TIE fighters, et d'autres ont simplement laissé des mentions comme « 12/20 » ou « nextgen ». L'évaluation agrégée du titre s'élève à 76,26.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« This is a title that no self-respecting N64 owner should pass up. Nintendo has created the first true N64 classic since "Mario 64." »
« To say that the Snowspeeder freak in me is satisfied with this game would be an enormous understatement. This is one hell of a fulfilling interactive experience that plays and plays and plays. »
« If you're a Star Wars fanatic and you own an N64, then you can't afford to be without this game. If you''re not a Star Wars fan then still buy this game because it's the most exciting, most gripping shoot-'em-up on the N64 so far. »
« Rogue Squadron is definitely one of the shining examples of what the N64 can do. The graphics in this game will change the way you look at your N64. Great graphics, great sound, fun gameplay....what else can you ask for? »
« Before you run down to the store and get your copy, do yourself another favor, get the 4 meg. Ram upgrade as well. You will not regret it. The Hi-Resolution mode in this game is incredible. Awesome. »
« Instantly engaging and packed with an awesome four-player mode, F-Zero X delivers high-powered racing with that immaculate Nintendo touch. »
« Rogue Squadron is truly a great game. It has almost everything going for it, graphics, sound, gameplay, & the whole Star Wars theme. Only the semi-repetitive missions and the occasional slowdown mar it. If you are a Star Wars fan or an arcade shooter fan, this is a must buy. »
« While the one-track gameplay isn't enough to challenge GoldenEye as the best movie game on the console, Rogue Squadron definitely emerges as a shining example that not all licensed games are quick attempts to get your hard-earned money. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« OMG this game used up so many hours of my summer when it released! I was totally locked in to get gold medals on all the runs and be able to unlock all the ships and secrets! »
« Engage TIE fighters in the cockpit of an X-Wing and bring AT-ATs to their knees in a Snow Speeder in this highly playable shoot 'em up. The graphics, sound and music do a really good job of immersing you in the Star Wars universe and the medal system keeps you coming back to try and beat your previous scores. A real fan-pleaser. »
« Whilst not being old enough to enjoy a N64, while i played this game i could see why so many people love this game »
« For it's time this was one of the best Star Wars space flight games around. It may have been a bit more of an arcady experience compared to the X-wing/Tie Fighter games. But it sure made flying a X-wing more accessible and fun for console fans. Great visuals and sound that measure up to any Star Wars game from the time. Good level design and very tight controls that make for an overall fun experience. Sure, the story didn't add too much to the lore of the universe, however, does get the job done. Great game from that era, a must have for the N64 enthusiast. »
« Easily one of the best star wars games of that generation. Next to shadows of the empire on N64 »
« One of the best games in terms of star wars flight simulator to date. Hilarious and challenging. The sounds of the ships, the gunshots, the missiles and the soundtrack really are like in the movies. »
« Played this **** in 1999, good game, fun gameplay but a lot of repeated frustration to clear levels , cause if you die, you have to start the whole level over again,, and it took this game a lot of attempts »
« This is really a great game, there is so much to love about it, must play for sure! »
