Advantages: It`s Star Wars

Disadvantages: Poor gameplay, graphics, sound.....

This is quite possibly the worst game I`ve ever played that makes use of the Star Wars license. The graphics are poor, the sound isn`t much better and the gameplay isn`t too hot either.

There are a variety of levels in the game, which vary from having you run round the Hoth base just after the Millenium Falcon escapes to flying through an asteroid belt, and on again to flying a hoverbike through Mos Eisley. There are plenty of other missions where you run round shooting Storm Troopers, which are OK but can get quite annoying. In fact I think they`ve overplayed the running round angle - too many sections have you doing this which gets more than a bit annoying since it`s the worst part of the game. The other sections involve doing stuff that no other game at the time let you do in the Star Wars universe. I mean, most other games let you run round and shoot Stormtroopers, but how many let you ride a Speeder bike round Mos Eisley? How many let you fly through an asteroid belt? Not many, which is this games only real selling point.

Basicaly this game isn`t worth the money unless you absolutely LOVE Star Wars. If you`re not an obsessive fan then you`ll probably be quite disappointed by this game.
