I highly recommend that you play Rebel Strike on multiplayer, the Rogue Leader co-op mode.
Been playing it with my mate today for about 3 to 4 hours straight, and I have to say it's brilliant. Didn't really play it much on release, just played through 1-player and left it, but multiplayer is the dogs balls.
It seems to be a lot harder than the original, with TIEs enduring a lot more fire and the AI slightly improved. Prisoners of Maw is rock solid as there seems to be limitless enemies and you really need to work as a team to get through it unscathed. Well, alive at least. Got to the Raids level then turned it off, after a couple of goes the first secret level.
Really, you should dig this out and give it a go.
I also discovered the brilliance of Pac-Man Vs. It's really, really awesome to play, even though I lost I had a top time playing and almost managed to collect all the pellets at one point. Like Dringo said, the inclusion of the Mario voice-over is a work of genius.

Nope, only two. Seeing it in action you'll wonder how Factor 5 even managed that, it's still one of the most impressive looking titles on the Cube yet, although not quite up there with StarFox and Prime.
As for levels, it's just the entire Rogue Leader game in multiplayer, with a few changes to make it more of a challenge. The only new ones are the versus ones, which I haven't tried yet.

No it's just two player, and there is a versus mode as well (not tried).
Pac-Man Vs. rules.

I kicked ol' Rebel Strike out of my collection as it was gathering dust rapidly.

Are there any other co-op levels other than the old Rogue Leader levels?
Also, is it just 2 player or can you manage four?

One player rogue leader was great, getting all those golds was quite a challenge.
Found it good but a tad on the easy side :S
The extra missions are unlocked with points earned by getting medals, like the original.
That is quite a coincidence, I played Rebel Strike co-op for the first time last night as well, despite owning the game for months!
And I was astonished how much better it is than the main game... although very tough indeed. We only just finished the Hoth level and that was at 2am (I get up for work at 7am!)
Do you have to get medals to unlock the extra missions as well?

I'm also surprised at howsteady the framerate is in multiplayer, even when there are 30+ enemies on show at once.
Truly stunning.

Hmm... might have to give it a go then.
Have to say, I did the same as you - completed the main game and then moved on.
