Some missions seem impossible - protecting a convoy of four speeders when twenty ships are flying down your throat, for instance. If that means letting the Battle Droids in their STAPS kill the civilians, then so be it. I like to fly in and kill everything! Sometimes this is good, but mostly it isn't. The missions are interesting at first, but then become just plain annoying. Why, you ask? It doesn't really help, especially when trying to lead your shots.

You also have a selection of three views - the standard 'Fly from Behind View,' the 'Fly from the R2-D2 View' and the 'Fly from the Hood Ornament View.' There is a target sight which I never used.

Use your secondary weapons sparingly because you never know what the mission will require, like blowing up a tunnel or taking out tractor beam installations. The radar tells you where the enemies are and whether you are facing forward or backward, but it is often unclear whether you are above or below your enemies until you run right into them or scream past them. Trying to see or track the enemies becomes a difficult task, especially when you are zooming around at breakneck speeds. There's a problem when you reach the imaginary boundaries of the outer space world and rudely bounce off. How does each vehicle handle? The same as every other vehicle in the game - throttle forward, bank left, bank right, roll, sharp turn. Use them wisely if you die, you start the mission over. This is understandable - after all, flying a Heavy STAP in space without any way to breathe would be dumb - but in order to fly the various vehicles, you must complete each mission and survive each area to reach a hangar where you can change to a different vehicle. You will not have access to all these vehicles at the same time - as you progress through each mission, you will get the opportunity to choose vehicles appropriate to each mission.

You fly one of seven vehicles ranging from a Heavy STAP to a Trade Federation gunboat to the Naboo Starfighter. Battle for Naboo is an image-swap of Rogue Squadron: different vehicles, different scenery, different music, different mission objectives, same game. It didn't have all the dials and screens like the X-Wing or TIE Fighter simulation games, but it had that 'arcade' feel - minimal learning curve, sit down and start shooting. Folks, I thought Rogue Squadron was a fun game.

Gameplay, Controls, Interfaceīattle for Naboo was brought to you by the developers of Rogue Squadron. For everyone else there are few, if any, groundbreaking, mind-blowing features to this game. Star Wars: Battle for Naboo is a flight combat game for the Star Wars fan who lives, breathes and dreams of being a part of the Star Wars universe daily - the type who watched Episode 1 at least twenty times a week on the big screen.
