UK retailers have confirmed that Star Wars™ Rogue Squadron™ II: Rogue Leader™
has entered the UK charts at No.1*, making it the first ever third party game to
hit the top spot on a consoles launch**. On May 3, 2002 LucasArts released Star
Wars™ Rogue Squadron™ II: Rogue Leader™ as a day one GameCube launch title.
Keely Brenner, Senior Brand Manager LucasArts says, “We are delighted with
the news, it is a piece of gaming history. Rogue Leader is a superb game,
showcased beautifully by the GameCube’s graphic capabilities. At the end of the
day gamers wanted to play the movie and with this game you can.”
In the game you get the chance to jump into the cockpit of an X-wing and join
Luke Skywalker and the Star Wars galaxy's most daring pilots as they return to
face off against the Empire.
As in the original hit game for N64, you'll relive favourite Star Wars
battles including the perilous Death Star trench run, a daring space attack on a
Star Destroyer and the legendary battle on the ice planet Hoth. Rogue Leader
features stunning, movie like visuals and immerses players in an intense
action-arcade experience. Aerial conflict takes place in a variety of craft such
as the legendary X-wing, A-wing, and B-wing.
