Enjoy some arcade style Star Wars flight action with Rogue Squadron from 1998!
Graphically this game is really impressive for N64.
Kaz expansion pack POWER woowoo!!
The mission based gameplay was also pretty cutting edge for it's time. It was one of the first games I played that actually had mission specific goals.
Surprizingly good gameplay too
This game is amazing ... I worked at Nintendo and was part of the bug squadron testing this game back in 98... Definitely the best of the series and a must play ... Love the story in the game and the controls while flying are beautiful. Definitely brings the Star Wars universe to life.
I’ve reverently got an N64 and was wondering if you need an expansion pack to play this? And a memory pack to save?
Al Benzies ... Yes you need the expansion pack, sharpens the graphics and makes it a much better experience....You don’t need a memory pack, the game will save internally... expansion pack is a must though ...
@@kissthistwice5 i just recently bought an N64 console just to play Rogue Squadron, the expansion pack is a must for graphics and am thinking of getting a rumble pak...
This is one of the greatest games ever made. The next two were also fantastic games.
I never could even get half way through this game as a kid but I still absolutely loved the game anyway! I remember getting my mom to rent it for me at blockbuster almost every weekend
When I was a kid, this was my Dark Souls.
+Farscryer0 Ain't that the truth! I remember rage quitting, aka, turning off the 64, over and over while playing this game
kevinblack16 Remember the landspeeder levels? The first one took me a week to beat, because I couldn't get the hang of grappling the AT-AT's legs and circling around it multiple times.
And I don't want to think about how I wound up breaking one of my controllers during the Kessel train level.
Very difficult game
"Raid on Sullust" never forget...
i just started playing it for the first time. only on the 2nd level and keep failing the mission. i keep trying to kill all those bombers as quickly as possible, but apparently it's not fast enough. i'm playing on an emulator on my phone and it looks and plays great, but may be a little tougher because of the smaller screen.
I just realized I still have this game and an N64. I really should play it again, Nostalgia here i come !
This is one of the best N64 games and one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Lucas Arts make great and inventive use of the Star Wars universe here. Get 19 gold medals and tell me its a Star Wars paint job.
1998 was just a great year for the Nintendo 64.
the thing that I remember the most is that piloting the Millenium Falcon on this one felt so smooth and cool, but in the other two from gamecube it was just a nightmare.
I remember when my dad promised to get me this game for Christmas. I swear days have never been as long as the days I spent waiting for Christmas to come. The game was absolutely amazing. Then I reached the fifth level and I was stuck for weeks.
Thank you for reviewing my childhood. And giving it so much praise. :)
Stupid Factor 5...
They were my favorite developer as a kid and they just REFUSED to patch LAIR until it was too late. I really wish they were still around.
>playing this at 8 years old
>dont know a lick of english
My greatest PC game ever, my first one ever and still my most treasured.
The reason I love his reviews is because of his awesome way of speaking. I guess it's just preference.
"the on foot sequences are the new ewoks" he summarized that well
I had the 2nd one on Gamecube, super fun and super hard, if you see it around i highly recommend picking it up. My dad printed me off a guide just so i could complete it.
You have to beat Kotors multiple times to fully experience their greatness and that can take up to 25 to 30 hours at a time. Mark normally puts only a few hours into most of the games reviews just to get a good feel for what the game is about and to get game footage for the review.
I was part of the bug squadron testing this game back in 98. This and Ocarina of time ... Gr8 year for video games !! This game is one of the best on the Nintendo 64.
Why are. You. Talking like. This? It makes no. Sense to. Break up. Lines like this. Just talk like. A. Normal. Person.
oh god, this brings back memories... one of my favorite N64 games... not a Star Wars fan but definitely I'm a Rogue Squadron's one.
played this game a thousand times. everywhere gold ^^
Personally i think that his narrative style is one of the things that make CGR great :)
i think i played this game when i was like 8 or 9, I had never seen anything like it, it was amazing
Love the Han Solo voice in this game Soooooo bad!! Definitely 1 of the N64's Best :)
In Return of the Jedi, during the space battle at the end. One A-wing even accidentally crashes into a star destroyer bridge.
I used to play this game for hours on end. One of the best Star Wars games ever!
Played this and goldeneye on my n64 when i was little. Good times
I remember I played the Hoth level alot in this game, and I mean alot
Hands down one of the best games ever made....and my favorite Star Wars game.....Super Star Wars on SNES is pretty damn fun too...
Hehe, Porkins. Porkins reincarnated as a fat yellow beer drinking M&M, and is quite happy with his position as a new CGR mascot :)
Best game ever
This game rocks, im half through it on my n64
I remember entering a password where you fly a car yes I said "fly a black car"
Played the hell out of this on my PC back in the day. Good times.
I don't remember those levels being so dark..! Maybe it's because of the newer LCD TVs or something.. or at least, play with the contrast/brightness to help!
I played this as a kid... ahh memories
I played this game while i was in hospital. Good memorys. lool.
This was, like, my favorite fucking game as a kid, other than Pod Racer.
I need to get this game for ma n64
lol no shit noob jk ily
did you ever end up getting it
Great game, still just as fun today as it was when it was released.
This is my favorite of the rogue squadron games, even if it's just because of my nostalgia.
One of the best game for the console despite not having many good ones
I played the crap out of this game back in the day
trying to get all the gold medals was painful but rewarding
I've played this game on PC when I was little!
oh I remember playing this on the good old PC
stupid world devastators
Correction: Factor 5 is still around, just their North American branch was shut down after the collapse of Brash Entertainment, with whom Factor 5 North America had several contracts.
I must be the only one who likes Rebel Strike more than Rogue Leader. :(
The original is my favorite game in the series and is my favorite game in general.
Plus, aside from the RS trilogy, there are two spiritual successors. There's Star Wars: Battle for Naboo (N64), which brought space combat and ground vehicles to the series. Then there is Lair (PS3), it's not Star Wars but the same style of gameplay (it even has the flying Buick from the other RS games). That last one is insanely underrated.
When did William Shatner start doing video game reviews ????
played this like crazy on my pc a decade ago :D
OMG i spent MONTHS on this game, and it was the first game really makin my jaw drop when i popped in the Expension pack!
I was getting the murky vision that you say about... but after watching some videos on YT and the most dark levels they we looking fine on the video... so my TVs
Set up like backlight, color, brightness and all that was mess up, I tweak that and now am seeing everything the right way.
Return of the Jedi was the best of all the Star Wars movies, Empire Strikes back was not as good.
absolutely amazing game at the time. One of the best Star Wars games.
HOLY SHIT, that was my first game on the PS1!!!!!! THAT and some cop space ship game!!!!!
my friend...I love this game and has a special place in my heart. One of the first games I got for the 64 when I got mine later in its run. But not to digress, this game was amazing for its time and of course Rogue Leader is one of my favs. So much replay value to get all Golds to unlock the etra levels and its is just straight up bad ass. Keep up the awesome reviews
Is there a way I could play it nowadays? I own it but my N64 is retired. Not emulators please.
Damn this game brings back so many memories!, . I think platinum were the highest medals?...I had plat medals on all missions except the last mission, then one of my cousins deleted my save file, ugh....so many hours lost lol, but nevertheless an n64 classic for me
This game runs really smooth and looks fantastic in hi-res, not to mention it's a great game :o.
Seriously, they need to make another Rogue Squadron-like game. It would be cool to have a game set during the new trilogy that would help either set the stage for VIII or set the stage and show the battles from Episode VII
I absolutely loved Rogue Squadron on N64
Though I am really surprised that the review doesn't pick up on
the best part of the original.
Now in the following two games you are always having your team mates get in the way and steal kills you constantly have to dismiss them.
Whereas the original it's a team score so if the someone in your wing bags a kill it's all good and this reflects better the camaraderie not only of the Rogues but also the Rebel Alliance.
I thought Harrison's performance was kind of emotionless( compared to his amazing performance in empire at least), well then again Han was supposed to be dead in return so maybe that is why. Also I thought Vader was a really weak villain in return. It felt like he took a backseat to the emperor when he shouldn't have. He had his moments where he was awesome, but I thought he was MUCH better villain in star wars and empire. Also why wasn't lando in the movie that much.
You should do a review of Battle for naboo for N64. It was sort of to rogue squadron what bioshock is to system shock. Well, not quite that good. It was made by factor 5 using the same engine, is less frustrating and even has missions that talk place in the space around naboo including the droid control ship battle, which was pretty impressive for the time. It also adds grounds vehicles which were fairly well done though not as fun as the flying vehicles.
this game i could never put down because of how much fun i had with it, and the 3 unlockable levels, and how to unlock the naboo star fighter with nintendo power magazine, and also i lost count on how many times in this game ive traveled down the death star trench to destroy the death star itself, the comment about going through the level 500 times brought back memories on how many times i had to re do levels.
this was one of the last Star wars products i truly enjoyed, before the dark times. before the series would completely ignore the orignal cast and focus on the very bland clone wars era.
Lol ^^_ But at least it wouldn't make any (greater) difference if you just clean it up properly (due to scratches and overall surface damage). I mean, his game could look -much- better if he would just spend like 1 minute of effort to wipe away all that nasty.... whatever it is. ^^_ (Golden Eye.. great game btw. =D )
I love the rouge squadron games but they got nothing on kotor 1( why hasn't mark reviewed yet). It has a phenomenal story that matches the original trilogy, great game play, awesome characters, and it is really long. It takes thirty hours to beat the main campaign.
yea you do but...Never mind i remembered he review a few long games like fallout 3 dragon age and half life 2 so my previous comment is invalid now i feel like an idiot.
The first game was 10x better then the Gamecube ones. The N64 game had its own story and characters and varied mission design. The gamecube games just threw in some lame escort missions over and over and then threw in some video footage from the movies, so there was no real story per say. It sucked.
I have this for PC. This is good game but I´ll think Rebel strike is best of these three, about the movies I am not sure which is better Return of the Jedi or the Empire Strikes Back. And at new trilogy The Revenge of the Sith just trashes other two, no contest.
I remember when my older brother gave this to my dad as a birthday present in 1998... 14 years later the writing "To: X From: X" still stay there to this day.
Bloodshed was sworn on that day. And then forth the young Heshwuan sworn to himself that remains of his parents legacy to remove from all history....
also KOELSCH... love that car..
I just thought of that! But don't let LucasArts touch it! We all know what that little garden gnome does when he tries to improve graphics!
I had this game for the N64 way back in the day. Used to play the shit out of it. :) It's still one of my all time favourite games.
Thumbs up for Mark! This time he pronounced right the AT-ST! 1:23
I played this game on PC a lot! I loved it, it had some really great moments and the graphics were just awesome!
He wasn't trying to argue, he's just saying usually the A-Wing is the best ship in all the star wars games...And quite cool...
If you think that's bad, you should see my GoldenEye cartridge. The entire thing is scratched to shit. Brosnan's face on the cover looks like he got put into a blender. :3
My favourite, has always been the Y-Wing, the good B52 bomber of the galaxy!
Also what happened to the B-Wing from the selection, they always forget the B-wing....
If you can find the PC version it works just fine with a wired 360 controller on Windows 7 64bit. Tried it a few weeks ago and ended up finishing the whole game.
There's actually a Naboo Starfighter stand-alone game , a sequel to this, on the N64. Both utilize the Expansion Pak which for some reason you don't. Oh WHY MARK!?
yep that is the one, good times I remember renting those games and finally buying them
really liked the type of games that came out for the original PS
Great video. This was a great game. I have been hoping to get my hands on a copy but am in no hurry to get it though I thought it was a great game.
Oh god that correllia level with the at-at used to piss me off so much as a kid! i can do it now, but back then the tow cable thing was annoying for me.
This game, and Shadows of The Empire, is why I bought an N64.
looks pretty good, i think i hired it for my 64 back in the day. i still have my old 64 maybe i should try and hunt down a copy of this game!
I have the PC version but my Windows...is Windows 7.
Thanks anyway.
I will try the Steam version (but I dont know if have the PT-BR language).
Used to play this on the PC (AMD K6-2 266MHz, Voodoo3 3000 16MB), it's so choppy on the N64...
My favorite level was Blockade on Chandrilla. =)
all three of them are for the ps1, the third one is called Colony Wars-Red Sun, wich is the best out of the three, you're welcome.
Holy shit, I played this when I was like 5.... I forgot about it. I am going to my local retro game store right now. Also need a N64.....
Also here is my score for all the movies
star wars 10/10
empire 100/10
return 9/10
phantom 3/10
attack 1.5/10
revenge 7/10
clone wars 2/10
Great game but way too hard, specially the finals levels where you have like a trillion missiles trying to kill you as soon as you respawn.
The same thing actually happened to me and I tried my best as a 8 year old to explain to them the difference. They still don't understand.
When I was a kid, I asked my parents for an X-wing for Christmas, and they got me a Y-wing.
Needless to say, I was somewhat disappointed.
this game was so much fun!! i still remember how hard it was to put the cable around those big machines so you can trip them up. GREAT GAME
great game. Im not even a big SW fan but i really enjoyed the game.
I LOVED this game! Need to find an N64 on craigslist or something.
I don't know, you gotta give love to the 2nd level though that gives you 8 seconds to do God knows what with no instructions at all!
Lord Karnage!! You should review Shadows of the Empire.
