Rogue Squadron! I have it on the game cube (actually I play Rebel Strike III since there you can replay RS coop!) wonderful game. I didn\'t know the trench run was already playable on Atari...then...! Nice! I hope we get more flying SW games I really love it and the accelerometers could control the ships well (don\'t have any fly-games). If RS were on iphone with good gfx and frame rate I wouldn\'t mind parting $20 for it! Ah! Rogue Squadron!

The game play is actually very fun, I've had the pleasure of trying it. I think the main issue here is that it's impossible to play the Star Wars game with someone filming over your shoulder.

I hope not, eliminate was a good example of what not to do. Hopefully DLC of that type will be self Eliminating. DLC ? I hope not, eliminate was a good example of what not to do.

How cool would the X-Wing game from the mid-90s with multiplayer support have been instead? Or even the Rogue Squadron rail shooter? Or Star Wars Arcade? Sad they waited so long to offer a SW iPhone title and the one they come up with looks so cheesy. Well at least it's not "Jar Jar in Roadkill of the Sith" or whatever...

I'll have a better idea once I play it. Hopefully there will be some variations to the game instead of just trench runs. This seems like it would be a good level for a full fledged star wars game.

The "official" video is longer, and shows more modes of gameplay, mirroring the air battle from the movies before going into the trench (just like the 1983 Atari arcade game). A static camera with the scenery moving around it is what you would see in a REAL plane, too, ya know. And there's a cockpit toggle, which I like a lot. The price has been announced at $4.99, and supposedly the game has been submitted to the App Store. I'm getting impatient waiting for it because I think it looks cool. I'm always up for a good Star Wars game with spaceships instead of the Jedi stuff that is in everything for the last several years.
