Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
"Rogue Squadron" received generally positive reviews. Critics praised the game's technical achievements and flight controls, but its use of distance fog and the lack of a multiplayer mode drew criticism. The game's sales exceeded expectations; by August 1999, more than one million copies had sold worldwide. It spawned two sequels developed and released for the GameCube—"" and ""—as well as "", a spiritual successor released for Windows and Nintendo 64.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (series)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is a series of Star Wars arcade-style action video games jointly developed by LucasArts and Factor 5 and published by LucasArts for Nintendo consoles.
The series deals with the Rebel Alliance unit, Rogue Squadron, who under the command of Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles use starfighters to engage and defeat the Galactic Empire. The games are set during episodes "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi" and recreate the battles that take place during those films, notably the Battle of Hoth, which is in every "Rogue Squadron" game in one form or another. Both of the GameCube "Rogue Squadron" games featured "making-of" documentaries.
