Rogue Leader is all about flying your ship and whooping Imperial ass. The first thing everyone will notice the graphics. They are spectacular especially for a launch title. You can see the incredible detail when you fly really low in the first level on the Death Star. The ships and environments are modeled true to the Star Wars movies. There are people actually running around in the Hoth level. The audio side is just as good. The music adds alot of atmosphere as do the voices of your squadron members and the sound effects of the lasers and crashs and so forth. The gameplay is brilliant because even though the whole game is based on flying the different ships the missions are all so diverse that it doesn't get repetetive. There are all the normal missions to beat (some can even be carried out in different ships) and some hidden ones that you'll have to unlock. The controls are responsive and straightforward. Star Wars fans will go nuts for this. Even if you're not a Star Wars fan I'd recommend it.
