Better Death Star trench run than Battlefront....shame a 16 year old game does it better

[@tupe444]

I dis-agree. Sure this is the first mission in the game, but it's not very involving. (You only really need to go up and down and slow down every once in a while) It also fairs pretty poorly when almost every other version of the trench run is extremely hard, (X-wing, Super, the NES / Famicom games, and in the original rouge squadron) the only other trench run that is like in this game is from the lego games.

[@My2Cents1]

I agree. This game is one of my favorite Star Wars game, but the trench run was felt a bit easy. The reason is probably because it's the introduction to the game, and it follows the recipe of easy in the beginning and getting progressively harder. So... I'm willing to forgive it.

[@DaRealLetterH]

Rish Fish nah ea did better

[@minecraftvaderz]

It would be cool if you could pull out of the trench in the end without getting shot down.

[@Marlevlyn]

Dude this was awesome. I just started playing last night and I played just the first mission. It was so much fun. I think it’ll be my favorite though because the creators of this game is paying homage to Star Wars Arcade 32X on Sega Genesis which it was paying homage to the Star Wars Arcade Cabinet

[@ClankyOtter]

The third entry into this series wasn't popular with many people, but one notably cool thing about it: You can play the old arcade games in their entirety inside of the base game.

[@girhen]

I overall liked the space titles on PC more (have a joystick and more advanced controls), but the beauty of the Factor 5 games is the shields don't make unshielded craft almost pointless. The damage just feels so much more in line with the movies. If only I could have a good mix of the two, they were both brilliant in their own ways.

Same logic as a lot of EA James Bond games. "007, the terrorists have a nuke on board that ship!" "That's nice, but I need to mop up this spot so my armor can glow a nice shiny gold."

[@Longlostpuss]

This was it, I saw this in HMV and I was like "Right okay, where do I sign?". This game was a console seller and the best Star Wars game I've ever played, hands down. I loved my Gamecube and it all started with this. Also remember the slog to get all Gold medals for the missions, but I did it.

[@casbyness]

Gotta love those Cloud City gas cannisters hiding just out of sight, costing you the Gold XD

[@gundamnmechas8518]

Rogue Leader had better Luke/Vader voice actors than the new Battlefronts

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

To be fair, almost every Luke was like getting the top seven people who can do Mark Hamill impressions. They were generally all good, but it's the same trick. Matt Mercer's Luke in Battlefront 2 is a genuinely new take on Luke without relying on Mark Hamill soundalikes.

[@graftednormalcy1376]

If there is one thing that modern star wars games is missing, it is the feeling of being IN the movies. Is there a modern star wars game that actually lets you play the set pieces from the films?

[@warmweathervacations4352]

Are the X Wing guns supposed to fire that fast in the game without any power ups?

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Yes, the latter two Rogue Squadron games, the laser fire rate is cranked up like crazy. To counter balance that insane fire rate, you have to be *a lot* more careful about your accuracy if you're aiming for gold medals. That, and unless it's more of a placebo effect, it seems like in said games when you don't fire, you auto-charge up the first shot that comes out when you fire again so it does more damage. It makes burst fire an effective strategy for keeping your accuracy high.
