Back when "Rebel Assault 2" came out I was so thrilled, because the game boasted with having "the first full motion Star Wars material shot since the movies", and I played the game like crazy since it looked really good, and especially in combination with John Williams' score this game really felt like "Star Wars". It was a lot easier to beat though then the first game, since aiming and shooting was as easy as "point and click", so no choppy mouse support as in the first game.

Today games like the "Rogue Squadron" series transported the "Rebel Assault" principles into realtime graphics, which of course is much more exciting than the pre-rendered flight paths of RA. Yet I still think both "Rebel Assault"-games were ground breaking... the first one of course a lot more then II.
