Wait a fucking minute what.

I don't remember that.

I knew about the bonus arcade games, but did not know about the co-op Rogue Leader. That's hot. Rogue Leader is one of the SW games I've been interested in picking up over the years.

Wow how did I never know that? Maybe I did and just forgot.

That's friggin' cool. Maybe even makes the game worth getting again.

Be warned...the Rogue Leader included on Rebel Strike in only co-op; so if you want to play through the campaign by yourself, you should just get a copy of Rogue Leader.

oooh good to know. Admittedly, my wife thought RL looked fun too, but doubtful she'd play thru the whole game w/ me.

Refresh my memory, doesn't RL have some good bonus stuff as well?

I'm surprised people didn't know this too.

It's worth noting that the game balance is a little off in 2player, and it makes the game a bit tougher (TIEs survive way more hits in 2P mode), but it's still pretty awesome.

It's kind of amusing that you can't play Rebel Strike in 2 player, but the entirety of Rogue Leader is there in 2 player on the disc.

Audio commentary?
A "making of" documentary?

no y'know what I'm thinking of - wasn't there a 2-disc version that had the arcade games on the 2nd disc?

I think that's it. There is no two-disc version to my knowledge and a quick eBay search, and I don't see any other special features listed on either the box or in gamefaqs "cheats" section.

That said...the game does feature the voice of Denis Lawson, the original Wedge Antilles.

EDIT: There are some Rebel Strike demo discs that do feature the original Star Wars arcade game floating around, however.
