We're just an hour away from this year's Extra Life livestream marathon, and we've got 24 hours of gaming shenanigans all lined up. In order to celebrate, we thought we'd kick things off with a special edition of Replay, in which we take a look at all three titles in Factor 5's Rogue Squadron series.
Andrew Reiner, Tim Turi, Ben Reeves, Wade Wojcik, and I start our journey with the first few levels of the original Rogue Squadron on N64, as Tim shoots down probe droids and TIE Bombers on Tatooine, and tries his best not to blow a dreaded escort mission on Barkesh. Things get more interesting (and pretty) in Rogue Leader, which starts(!) with the Death Star trench run and has us questioning the Empire's design decisions. Also during the second segment, Reiner discusses a canceled fourth Rogue Squadron game, with some juicy details from a former developer. Finally, we take a look at the troubled third installment, Rebel Strike. Sure, the flying segments were still great, but the new on-foot levels – including our dubious rescue of Princess Leia – brought the fun to a crashing (if unintentionally hilarious) hault. See it all by clicking the video below.
