Pros + Cons

Pro
 Longevity through multiple playthroughs

The games story is pretty deep and the text that can be found withing that tells it will take multiple playthroughs to see it all, making for not only a good reason to play many times but creates the feel of a very deep universe.

 Handles Star Wars license well

Seeing things like Jedi vs Sith and politics in the game that are now staples of the newer movies helps to feel as though the game fits into the cannon quite well. With so many movie license games in the past being quick cash-ins it is great to see the Star Wars license used in a manner that fits with the cannon and of high quality development.

 Somewhat buggy

Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.

 Expansive content

Even though this is an older game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 98, the amount of content is quite good as there is a plethora of missions available. Escort/rescue missions, dogfights and bombing runs make up some of this content, all of which take place on many different worlds or space set pieces, all of which take place in the cannon universe of Star Wars.

 GIve a great sense of taking part in the StarWars universe

From the fantastic voice acting, the cinematic sequences to the licensed music and sound effects, this game gives off a great feeling of taking part in the universe of Star Wars. While there has been many games that have held the license, this has been regarded as one of the better titles for some time, which shows with the care they took in presentation.

 Medal system allows for plenty of replayability

Each missions has a bronze, silver or gold medal that can be earned by completing the stage and certain tasks contained withing under a certain time limit. With gold being the toughest to earn, there is plenty of reason to revisit stages in order to earn the gold medal. This means hours of extra time spent with the game.

 Easy to learn and play

Rogue Squadron has very accessible controls that allows for the game to have a bunch of differing missions due to how easy it is to fly the ships. More akin to Starfox over Star Wars flight sim titles such as X-Wing, allows for arcadey controls that is no where near as punishing as other sims. This means the game can be more accessible for any type of player.

 In game resolution settings may crash the game

While there is a setting in the game to adjust the resolution the game is played in, changing this setting may make the game crash when a mission is launched. While this setting can be changed in an ini file which will not make the game crash, having a broken option in the game shows a lack of polish.
Comment

Con
 No graphical options

The game is basically a straight port of the N64 title, meaning there is zero graphical settings to be found other than resolution (which is broken). So for those looking for a more polished title that would allow them to take advantage of PC centric graphical settings, this may not be the game for you.

 Mouse and keyboard controls are very poor

This game was originally designed for a controller, which shows when trying to play with a keyboard and mouse. While this port does offer keyboard controls, they work so poorly that it makes the game almost unplayable when using this control scheme.

 Controller settings need to be tweaked

In order to get a controller working properly with the game, one will need to go into the settings of the game in order to change some options. Basically out of the box controller support is pretty poor, though once tweaked the controller will work fine.

 Great Star Wars FPS

The Last Star Wars FPS following Kyle Katarn. Weild the Force and a lightsaber or pick up any of the classic Star Wars guns found in the hands of your enemies! Great story found in the Post-Return of the Jedi era.

 True Force Power progression Light/Dark

the decisions you make and the force abilities you level up and use actually determine whether you travel down the Dark or Light side of the Force. Want more lightening? Want to Force Choke and fling troopers off the building? Want incredible speed? Pick your path.

 Slow-Motion Lightsaber kills

Not only can you lop off limbs of storm troopers and mercenaries; every so often the game will highlight a kill with few seconds of slow-motion, making you look even more awesome. This also happens in multiplayer occasionally as well.

 Dated

Released in 2003. Graphics, while manageable, show their age.
