Still holds up as one of the GameCube's best and might just be the greatest Star Wars game that's ever been made. Rogue Leader is a graphical powerhouse for the purple lunch box that easily holds its own amongst the best looking games the system has to offer, despite being a launch title. Missions aren't overly long but are incredibly well-crafted and fun to replay as you fight to obtain each level's gold medal, a challenging but rewarding feat. Ships handle exceeding well and the arcade-like flight controls are something I have been desperately searching for in another Star Wars game since. Sadly, two decades later, none really come close to matching Rogue Squadron II.

If I had to sum up this game it would be like a dream come true. The levels based upon the films are probably the closest recreations to playable versions of those battles as we'll likely ever get. No attention to detail was spared and the result was an instant classic. Phenomenal game.
