Well, since I'm on study leave I thought I'd go off to HMV today and I played Rogue Leader in the shop while there were no crowds (you'd be suprised at the crowds you can get in the Isle Of Wight branch of HMV :D) and it was excellent!!!

The save game they had in there had only the Death Star (first level) selectable, I assume no one had won that level yet, and I had a go on it. Actually several. I spent probably 40 mins playing it. I kept on killing all those large tower things, then killing all the Ties (that was REALLY fun!) then going in the trench for the trench run. I'm sure they must have been giving you hints or something over the 'intercom' but since the sound was off I couldn't hear anything, which was a little annoying. I eventually won the trench run, but I kept getting 'Game Over' cos of Darth! But I eventually won it and became the first person in the IOW HMV to win the first level of Rogue Leader!!! Who wants to give me a medal?!?

So then I had a go on the Ison Corridor (I think that's what it was called...) and what I played of it was damn good, unfortunately I had to go after I died once but it was still a damn good game! I want it now! But I'll need to wait till I get a cube which should be after my GCSEs... so a month and 2 days away I hope...

Wish me good luck in my exams. And good luck getting a cube after them!

Star Wars is great, although ever since I bought Tony Hawks I don't play anything else. :0)

Put it this way you finished the first level in better time than me, I didn't know what I was supposed to shoot those bombs at at first (I'm no Star Wars fan obviously).

Still it's all fun fun though.

What are ppl talkin' about?

40 minutes is nothing!

The first time I ever played on an N64 was in this Toys R Us, and it had Wave Race on. I stood there for around 3 hours playing it. Everytime someone else came to check it out, I just played against them! I instantly fell in love with that game!!!

Yeah, I got ICT and Business Studies about a week after most other people have finished their exams! :(

And next week, I got two English exams, Biology, Maths and French Writing! ARGH! Ah well, after next week HALF TERM! WOHOO!

Oh, and standing for about 40 mins didn't hurt, I was running on adrenaline! :D

What I find annoying about the last bit of the trench is when you've found the advanced homing torpedos. You keep the target in the middle as you approach the final target and it keeps locking onto the surface guns when the target is nowhere near them. So you end up having to be right on top of the final target before you can fire which wastes valuable seconds in getting a medal - especially gold.

Ironically, outside of this mission, you have to swing the target over a TIE before you get a lock.

The final section of the trench run is bloody annoying - if you use the targeting computer, you see the target you have to hit is actually on the floor, not the end of the tunnel!!!!???
