Digital Trends' Scott Steinberg said that, while not perfect, "Halo Wars" made a strong case for the viability of RTS on consoles; "There's certainly the potential to have PC holdouts seriously reconsidering hoisting the controller." Peter Hartlaub of the "San Francisco Chronicle" offered a dismissive summation of the game as "a remedial game—real-time strategy for dummies", and stated that the game offered relatively little innovation when compared to other "Halo" titles.

In "The Cincinnati Enquirer", he gave the game four stars out of five and stated that, "If there was ever a reason to purchase this compact new console, this is it... [but] there's no multiplayer mode. It would have been fun to fly alongside or against another player in some of the missions."

"Empire Magazine" gave the film three out of a possible five stars and said, "If you can make it through the bland schmaltz of the first half you'll be rewarded with a spectacular blast of sustained action and the promise of even better to come.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Richard Roeper of the "Chicago Sun-Times" gave the film 3.5/4 stars, saying, ""Star Wars: The Last Jedi" ... doesn't pack quite the same emotional punch [as "The Force Awakens"] and it lags a bit in the second half, [but] this is still a worthy chapter in the "Star Wars" franchise, popping with exciting action sequences, sprinkled with good humor and containing more than a few nifty 'callbacks' to previous characters and iconic moments." For "The Hollywood Reporter", Todd McCarthy said, "Loaded with action and satisfying in the ways its loyal audience wants it to be, writer-director Rian Johnson's plunge into George Lucas' universe is generally pleasing even as it sometimes strains to find useful and/or interesting things for some of its characters to do."
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Daniel Krupa from IGN gave the game a 6.8/10. He praised the engaging story, the nuanced lead character, atmospheric scenery, but criticized the lack of Templar abilities included, bland encounters with other main characters, uninspired side quests, empty world, as well as the frustrating combat and traversal system, which he stated has shown no improvements.

Xav de Matos from Joystiq gave the game a 6/10, criticizing the game for not adding anything new to the franchise. He stated that ""Assassin's Creed Rogue" is essentially a clone of "Black Flag"s setting and systems.

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" awarded the film 2 out of 4 stars, writing, "You used to be able to depend on a terrible film being poorly made. No longer. The "Punisher: War Zone" is one of the best-made bad movies I've seen." And that the film's only flaw is "that it's disgusting." Clark Collis writes that Ray Stevenson's "character could be called the Not-Much-of-a-Learning Curveinator." Frank Dasta of RobotBoombox.com gave the movie 0 out of 5 stars, stating, "May God have mercy on this film's soul. Punisher: Warzone is bland, uninspired, and it missed the point of the source material entirely. It's like these people have never even read a proper Punisher comic."

ARC Squadron
Blake Grundman of 148Apps was more impressed, scoring it 4.5 out of 5 and writing, "not very often does a newcomer impress quite to the level that "ARC Squadron" has. The visual polish, overabundance of content, and addictive gameplay all meld together into a product that even Fox McCloud would be happy to have bear his name." Gamezebo's Jillian Werner also scored it 4.5 out of 5, criticizing the difficulty in getting four star ratings in the levels, but praising the "gorgeous graphics, upbeat music, and fantastic level design. One-touch controls are executed superbly in both maneuvering and shooting. Tons of upgrades for your ship and weapons, all of which are affordable without shelling out real money. The entire game feels polished and lovingly crafted, from start to finish." TouchGen's Nigel Wood also awarded a score of 4.5 out of 5, writing ""ARC Squadron" is easily one of the best shooters on the AppStore right now. It has a strong Triple-A feel to it that only a few games have so far accomplished [...] The graphics, sound, controls, ramping difficulty, ship and weapons upgrades, and the awesome bosses makes for an addictive mix that's hard to put down."
Dungeons &amp; Dragons (film)
Critical reaction to the film was largely negative. The film has a score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 91 reviews, the consensus stating: "Critics say this movie has a cheap look and is badly directed. Despite the presence of talented actors, the performances are really bad, and additionally, some people are offended at Marlon Wayans' character, calling it a racist throwback to black stereotypes." The film has a score of 14 on Metacritic based on 25 reviews. Geoff Pevere of the "Toronto Star" called the film "A wheezy quest story steeped in hobbity gibberish and second-hand Star Wars costumery, featuring a cast so uniformly uncharismatic you may pine for the methody depths of Kerwin Mathews (apart, of course, from the reversely charismatic Irons), the movie has the cheap software look of something found on the Space channel at 4 a.m.". Steve Biodrowski of mania.com comments: "Let's just say that if it weren't for "Lost Souls" (also a New Line release, coincidentally), this would be a strong contender for the Worst Film of the Year." In February 2010, the readers of "Empire" voted "Dungeons & Dragons" the 39th worst film of all time.
ARC Squadron
IGN's Cody Musser scored it 7.3 out of 10. He was critical of the controls, but praised the graphics and the depth of the game, arguing that ""ARC Squadron"s controls hold it back from true greatness. But Psyonix has still created a compelling and gorgeous 3D space shooter worthy of your time and money. The ridiculous amount of content, large degree of variety and finely-tuned challenge will keep you glued to your mobile device's screen."
Star Wars Arcade
"Electronic Gaming Monthly" scored the 32X version at 6.25/10, describing it as a decent but disappointing launch title for the console. They cited excellent graphics but repetitive gameplay and complained about the limited movement. "GamePro" similarly assessed that the game is a decent demonstration of the 32X's graphical capabilities but suffers from repetitive gameplay. They also criticized that the controls are convoluted when using a standard three-button gamepad and that in cooperative mode the second player's cursor is difficult to see against certain backgrounds. "Next Generation" rated the 32X version of the game at three stars out of five, calling it "An excellent translation of a good game, and a good hint of what to expect from 32X."
Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire
Reviews for the PlayStation version praised the use of the film scores and the graphical enhancements over the PC original (particularly the polygonal ship models and the greater full motion video quality), but criticized the loose controls and low difficulty, and typically commented that while the game offers a variety of scenarios and gameplay styles, none of them offer any real depth or excitement. Scary Larry of "GamePro", however, gave it a laudatory review, citing the variety of stages, the quality of the cinematic cutscenes, and the clean graphics. Dan Hsu of "Electronic Gaming Monthly" called it "a very glamorous, very pretty game that drops way short of delivering any true gaming satisfaction", while co-reviewer Sushi-X remarked, "I would like to know how unskilled LucasArts thinks we gamers are. The first time I sat down to play RA2, I beat it." A "Next Generation" critic gave the game 2 stars and said that "while it trades in the PC version's digitized sprites for polygonal spacecraft, alas it's still the same mundane game." GameSpot recommended, "If you're a Star Wars fan, your money is much better spent on the Star Wars Trilogy videotapes or tickets to the big-screen director's-cut re-releases."
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron
"Renegade Squadron" received a mixed reaction from the video gaming community. The game was considered
superior to its predecessor (the PSP version of "") and it was praised for its customization options and online play, but the single-player campaign was criticized for being brief and shallow. Opinions on the graphics were mixed, and the controls were generally described as inadequate.
Shadow Squadron
The four reviewers of "Electronic Gaming Monthly" gave "Shadow Squadron" a unanimous score of 5 out of 10, assessing it as no more than a thinly veiled upgrade of "Star Wars Arcade" with primitive graphics and dull gameplay. They argued that the free-roaming movement and multiplayer mode, while fun additions, do not make a fundamental difference to the gameplay. "GamePro" also regarded the game as a "Star Wars Arcade" upgrade, but give it a more mixed review. They criticized the music but praised the graphics and controls as a considerable improvement over "Star Wars Arcade". "Next Generation" commented that the game has poor presentation, citing sound effects similar to those found on 8-bit consoles and an overly monochrome color scheme, but good gameplay and controls, particularly the ability to fly in any direction. They gave it three out of five stars.

Despite the criticism, a few reviewers were more favorable towards the controls, with GameSpot noting that they were an improvement over "Battlefront II."
Star Wars: Rebel Assault
"Entertainment Weekly" gave the game a B and wrote that "You've got to hand it to the folks at LucasArts — they wring every drop of juice from a game platform, whether it's PC CD-ROM (where Rebel Assault has been a best-seller for the past eight months) or Sega CD (which is just releasing the same game). The trouble is, Sega CD doesn't have that much juice to begin with: Thanks to the system's slow disc access and limited color capabilities, this version of the Star Wars fighter ship never quite reaches light speed."

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."

Both of the GameCube "Rogue Squadron" games featured "making-of" documentaries.
Rogue Warrior (video game)
GameZone's Natalie Romano gave the game a 2/10, stating it is "A very disappointing game from start to finish, Rogue Warrior is a game that brings nothing new to the genre nor does it make for a fun first-person shooter worth the money. Simply put, this isn’t just an awful shooter but it’s also a terrible game. Sorry, but this is one hero we would like to leave behind."

This was the second-lowest rating, behind "", with an average rating of 5.2/10 with the site's consensus: ""Nemesis" has an interesting premise and some good action scenes, but the whole affair feels a bit tired." The film has earned a Metacritic score of 51 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" had mixed feelings about the film, stating, "I'm smiling like a good sport and trying to get with the dialogue ... and gradually it occurs to me that 'Star Trek' is over for me. I've been looking at these stories for half a lifetime, and, let's face it, they're out of gas." Ebert gave the film two out of four stars.
Mick LaSalle of the "San Francisco Chronicle" said that the film is a "rather harebrained story that's relieved to a degree only by some striking visual effects and by Patrick Stewart's outstanding presence as Picard". LaSalle complained that Stewart gave "integrity and wry stoicism to "Nemesis", but the movie [was] unworthy of him". Owen Gleiberman of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the film a positive review, commenting that the crew "indulge[s] the force of humanity over hardware in a way that George Lucas had forgotten." Gleiberman gave the film a "B-". Stephen Holden of "The New York Times" said that the film is a "klutzy affair whose warm, fuzzy heart emits intermittent bleats from the sleeve of its gleaming spacesuit". Holden praised the scenes where the "Enterprise" and the "Scimitar" ram into each other during the final battle.
Star Wars: Force Commander
"Star Wars: Force Commander" was met with very mixed reception. Greg Kasavin of GameSpot gave the game a 6 out of 10. He cited dated graphics, ineffective controls, and flawed gameplay as reason the game "falls short of its ambitious intent." Kasavin conceded the game "has some good ideas. Its campaign has an involving plot and interesting mission objectives", and praised the 3D mission briefings. Mark Hill of "PC Zone" felt that while playing from the perspective of the Galactic Empire was a "nice twist, but merely dumping this style of game into the Star Wars universe is not innovative enough." Nick Woods of AllGame felt that the game's 3D models were "blocky and not detailed" and added that there are "many other RTS games on the market better than this one.". Sarju Shah of Firing Squad gave it a 60%. Tal Blevins of IGN gave it a score of 4.7 out of 10. In a feature on the history of Star Wars games, IGN's Rus McLaughlin called "Force Commander" "a blocky, buggy, undiluted failure". A similar article in "GMR Magazine" from March 2004 listed "Force Commander" as the worst Star Wars game. In the book "", author Rob Smith said the "dated-looking visuals and clumsy controls turned off strategy gamers." Hollywood.com placed it fifth in a list of worst "Star Wars" video games. The staff felt that "Force Commander" had "an unwieldy camera and uninspired combat." Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Alec Meer was also highly critical of the game. "I didn’t make it past the first few levels. It was miserable."
The Fog of War
Reviews for the film were very positive. The film holds an 87/100 on Metacritic and received an overall score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" wrote, "Although McNamara is photographed through the Interrotron, the movie is far from offering only a talking head. Morris is uncanny in his ability to bring life to the abstract, and here he uses graphics, charts, moving titles and visual effects in counterpoint to what McNamara is saying."
Rogue One
In late November 2016, box office projections for the United States and Canada had the film grossing $100–150 million during its opening weekend. Disney chairman Bob Iger noted that Disney and Lucasfilm did not expect "Rogue One" to match "The Force Awakens" total gross of $2.1 billion, nor its $248 million opening. Pre-sale tickets for the film went on sale at 12:01 AM EST on November 28, 2016. Within 10 minutes, ticket sale sites such as Fandango crashed, much like they had in advance of "The Force Awakens" the year prior. In its first 24 hours, the film had the second-highest number of pre-sale tickets ever sold, behind only "The Force Awakens". Worldwide, the film was expected to gross $280–350 million in its opening weekend.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Reviewers also praised the game's sound design. Powered by the new Factor 5 audio drivers, "Rogue Squadron" features about 40 minutes of speech and 40 minutes of music. GameSpot's Ryan Mac Donald believed that the game's inclusion of extended voice work helped create a "movie-like" atmosphere. IGN noted that in addition to being technically impressive, the game's Dolby Pro Logic surround sound was an important gameplay element. The audio signals helped players determine enemy positions and direction of travel. IGN awarded the game three sound awards, including Sound Effects, Best Voice and Best Overall Sound of 1998 on the Nintendo 64.
Assassin's Creed Rogue
In December 2015, "Game Informer" ranked the game as the sixth best game in the "Assassin's Creed" series to date.

It title was designed to be the first multiplayer focused title in the series, but the game was cancelled by LucasArts before completion due to uncertainties in the console market.

The game engine and assets were then adapted into the PlayStation 3 game "Lair".
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Matt Miller from Game Informer gave the game an 8.25/10. He praised the huge variety of activities, varied environments and mission types, new additions and well-performed gameplay, despite being too similar to its predecessors. He criticized the repetitive melee combat and the absence of multiplayer mode. He described the game by saying that ""Rogue" is vast with lots to explore, and while it lacks novelty, it offers a wealth of gameplay and lore to faithful fans." Daniel Bloodworth from GameTrailers gave the game a 7.2/10, praising the return of some old characters in the "Assassin's Creed" series, stunning scenery and environment, interesting interceptions missions, but criticizing the predictable and dull lead character, poorly-constructed missions in the beginning of the game, disappointing boss battles, as well as numerous bugs. He described the game by saying that ""Rogue" in many ways feels like an extension of last year's "Black Flag", even down to the menus, but there are some tweaks to the formula thanks to your new role as a former assassin, hunting down his old comrades."
Star Wars: Republic Commando

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
During the early stages of development, the designers at LucasArts were inspired by "Rogue Squadron" and later "", a series of books and comic books set during the years of the original film trilogy. They began developing the story and gameplay with a similar setting that would include characters from the films participating in new, original missions using Factor 5's terrain map engine as the base. In May 1998, a demo of the game was displayed at E3, but the game was so incomplete at the time that Tosti considered it a tech demo. It rendered a basic heightmap and an immobile AT-AT model, while TIE fighters lacking artificial intelligence flew and fired in a predetermined path. When "playing" the demo for audiences, Tosti followed a very specific flight path of his own to give the illusion that he was actually battling with the TIEs. Despite the demo's barebones presentation, response from gamers was largely positive.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Despite his criticism of the AI, GameSpot's Craig Beers scored the game 8.4 out of 10, writing "It manages to take all the fun parts from its predecessor and greatly expands them to create an engaging, new action game in its own right." IGN's Steve Butts scored the game 8.8 out of 10, giving it an "Editor's Choice Award" and writing "If you like "Star Wars" and think flipping around chopping up Stormtroopers and flinging Dark Jedi off of conveniently placed precipices is fun, then this game is definitely for you." Eurogamer's Kristan Reed was less impressed, scoring the game 7 out of 10, writing "The harsh reality is, for all the plentiful additions, there's much work to be done before LucasArts can boast it has created the ultimate "Star Wars" FPS. Sure, it's the best one yet, but with some often laughable AI and creaking tech underpinning it, the flaws are there for all to see."
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Some reviewers complained about aspects of the game's visuals; critics disliked the heavy reliance on distance fog. Another common criticism of the game was the lack of multiplayer modes. "GamePro" review called the omission a "serious, unforgivable sin"; Schneider believed that while adding these modes would have extended "Rogue Squadron" replay value, the game was still enjoyable for its medal reward system and large number of secrets and unlockables.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
During "Rogue Squadron" development, ""—the first new "Star Wars" film in more than 15 years—was less than one year from its scheduled release date. To take advantage of this marketing opportunity, Factor 5 included content from the upcoming film in "Rogue Squadron". LucasFilm provided the developers with design art for the Naboo Starfighter, a ship prominently featured in the new film. These designs were used to create an in-game model. Because the game was scheduled to be released six months before the film, Factor 5 was required to keep the ship's inclusion a secret. As a result, most of the game's development team at Factor 5 and LucasArts were not informed of its inclusion. A complex scrambling system was also developed to help hide the ship's code from gamers using cheat cartridges such as GameShark or Action Replay. More than six months after the release of "Rogue Squadron", LucasArts unveiled the code to unlock the Naboo Starfighter as a playable craft. The code has been named the Nintendo 64's most well-hidden code because of the length of time before its discovery.
Rogue Squadron
Although Luke Skywalker was the first commander of Rogue Squadron, Antilles is often considered the "face" of the squadron due to his tenure as its leader. He appears in the films "A New Hope", "Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi", in which he commands the squadron. When seeing the Death Star for the first time in "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope", Wedge utters the line "Look at the size of that thing!"

However, Brian Gee of Game Revolution gave the game a "C" and said that it "doesn't feel very Star Wars".
Rogue Squadron
Luke Skywalker's debut with the Rebel Alliance came as Red Five at the Battle of Yavin, as portrayed in "". After his destruction of the Death Star, he founded Rogue Squadron with Wedge's help using the Rebels' best X-Wing pilots as shown in "" and proceeded to have a long and distinguished flying career with the group. By the time of "Return of the Jedi", Luke was focusing on his training as a Jedi Knight and had thus handed command of Rogue Squadron to Wedge.
Rogue Squadron
After "A New Hope", the squadron is operated as two groups. The first was the Renegade Flight under Commander Narra, the squadron leader, and the second was the Rogue Flight under Luke Skywalker. As the Rogues became more autonomous, they became a group with no standing orders, ready any time or place for urgent missions that would arise. Their core was Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, Zev Senesca, and Wes Janson. The Renegade Flight is eventually destroyed before "The Empire Strikes Back" on an escort mission with a convoy carrying supplies for the Rebel Base. The Rogues on Hoth had now the burden to defend Echo Base alone although new pilots were already added to their roster, like Derek Klivian and Tycho Celchu. During the Battle of Hoth, the Rogues had to add many "guest" members into their squadron. The twelve snowspeeders of the Rogues gave the Rebels enough time to evacuate Echo Base and were destroyed later in the battle. Before "Return of the Jedi", one of Luke's last missions was the Battle of Gall against the Empire, in an attempt to capture the bounty hunters who had abducted Han Solo. After "Return of the Jedi", the squadron was hastily and temporarily reformed by Antilles with the best rebel pilots in order to defend the planet Bakura. Rogue Squadron was now a lean team of six units: Antilles, Janson, Klivian, Celchu, Plourr Ilo and Dllr Nep. One of the important missions during the New Republic's creation was the failed rescue mission of Sate Pestage, which bolstered the fame of New Republic.
Rogue Trooper (video game)
"The Times" gave it a score of four stars out of five and called it "a third-person shooter with smooth, detailed graphics, and a learning curve set so beautifully that even non-shooter fans should love it." "The A.V. Club" gave it a B and said that it "doesn't approach the inventiveness of a great budget TPS like last year's "Raze's Hell", but it's priced to move." However, "The Sydney Morning Herald" gave it a score of three stars out of five and said, "Where "Rogue Trooper" rescues itself from mediocrity ... is in the way it utilises Gunnar, Helm and Bagman. They all perk up with humorous quips and helpful advice, while the futuristic gadgetry is inventive." "Detroit Free Press" gave it two stars out of four and said it "feels more like basic training than hardcore warfare." "Computer Games Magazine" gave the PC version two-and-a-half stars out of five and said, "Everything about "Rogue Trooper" screams 'competent,' which doesn't amount to memorable or particularly inspired." "Computer Gaming World" gave it an unfavourable review and said, "If you take a game that’s composed entirely of canned set pieces—say, "Rogue Trooper"—and play it over and over and over, you’re going to make yourself hate it. I liked it only mildly enough the first time. So it just goes to show that in a game this thin, familiarity breeds contempt."

Bernard Boo of "PopMatters" wrote, "If what you want from a "Star Wars" movie is an action-adventure romp, and the last two movies in the franchise ("The Last Jedi" and "Rogue One") felt a little too dreary and heavy on pathos, "Solo" is sure to lift your spirits and give you more thrills than you can handle. Some of the action sequences are seriously breathtaking and will keep you teetering on the edge of your seat."

Rogue One
IndieWire's David Ehrlich gave the film a C+ rating, calling it "a spirited but agonizingly safe attempt to expand cinema's most holy blockbuster franchise and keep the wheels greased between proper installments ... just a glorified excuse to retcon some sense into one of the silliest things about the original." While he praised the set design and visuals, calling them "gorgeous", he criticized a lack of interesting character development and a script that felt "completely constricted by its purpose."
