Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Although nearly identical, the game's PC version garnered lower review scores than its Nintendo 64 counterpart, with an aggregated GameRankings score of 80 percent. This version enjoyed many of the same praises for its gameplay, but handling and graphics were cited as problematic. Directly comparing the two versions, AllGame's Brad Cook wrote that PC version's handling is more difficult than the N64 version. He believed the PC's "choppy" feel made it difficult to target enemies. In contrast to its opinion of the N64 version, IGN's PC review was not enthusiastic about the game's visuals. IGN staff remarked that "Rogue Squadron"s "graphics and special effects aren't spectacular" and that they had "seen better graphics" on the PC.
Rogue One
IGN reviewer Eric Goldman gave the film 9/10, saying, ""Rogue One" is a movie crammed with fan service, but when fan service is done this well, there's little to complain about and much to adore." Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, writing, "this spin-off/prequel has the same primitive, lived-in, emotional, loopy, let's-put-on-a-show spirit that made us fall in love with the original trilogy." /Film gave "Rogue One" 8/10, writing that the film is enjoyable but does not have the emotional weight of "The Force Awakens", because "no character in "Rogue One" was strongly compelling". "PopMatters" wrote, ""Rogue One" seems to enjoy spending time on a whole new batch of moons and planets we haven't seen before, reveling in the clutter and clamor of far-flung settlements where anti-Imperial sentiments fester. But the film is bogged down in engineering the complex maneuverings of spy games, dogfights, and the most sprawling Rebel-versus-Empire land battle scene since the opening of "The Empire Strikes Back"." Justin Chang, writing for the "Los Angeles Times", called "Rogue One" "a swiftly paced, rough-and-ready entertainment."
