Plenty of great stuff is coming out next week and Rebel Strike is one of them.  Who\'s picking it up?  This thread is also for general impressions for those of you who are picking it up next week as well.  :)

I keep hearing negative things about Rebel Strike. I might give it a rent..

Prince of Persia is getting rave reviews, though.

Not a good sign there.

Huh? Sounds like a good review to me..

The score doesn\'t matter, either. Remember how they gave Mario Sunshine a 8.0? There you go.

You\'re right, it\'s not that bad, but I expected more from Factor 5 honestly.  Sure, the Rogue Squadron games are generally awesome, but it\'s time to move onto something else because the series is getting tired.  Adding foot missions was possibly the worst direction they could have taken the series and yet they did it so willingly even if the foot missions are mostly extra.  It\'s incredibly dissapointing.

I do look forward to the original flight missions they incorporated.  The Revenge on Kothlis level was absolutely stunning and I expect the same level of creativity for the flying levels in Rebel Strike.

I haven\'t had much playing time but Rebel Strike seems a lot like the other 2 Rogue Squadron games. That\'s good if you like the series like I do, but It\'s not gonna attract any new fans.
