Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire User Reviews (N64)

Master of the VG's Review
Aug 23, 2003

THE GOOD:
A nice Starwars Third or First person shooter.
Good Selection of weapons
Secrets for beating the game

THE BAD:
Some levels take forever
Space levels could have been better

SUMMARY:
This game was really fun for me. Some of the levels were really long. Some levels where amazingly difficult to get all of those force points in them. I did like the rewards that you get for beating the game at the different difficulties. I also like the weapons especially the seeker when you have the camera on. The space levels could have been a lot better though. Many times in the last level, I would wander about what part of the reactor I hit because it was hard to keep track of where you where going. It was a forgivable problem though.

Bottom Line:
If you like shooters and Star Wars, you probably already have this game. If you don't, get it.

THE GOOD:
Lots of varied challenges
Great Snowspeeder level
Four difficulty-levels
The ability to use the jetpack

THE BAD:
Too few levels
Primitive graphics and cut-scenes
Clumsy control

SUMMARY:
Graphics: Not too good, with pretty greyish colors and not too much details. Good-looking space-levels, though.

Sound: Okay sound-effects, while the tunes are good, but played in mediocre quality.

Gameplay: Both ground and space-levels (even one that features racing), but the quality is variable, with the space-levels (and the Snowspeeder one) are great, while the ground-levels are not too hot. In the ground-levels however there are some fun boss-battles, but the design is not very good. Control is clumsy as well.

Lifespan: Four difficulty-levels, but too few levels in the game, and they are not especially long either (some are in fact very...

- A lot of charactors looked alike

SUMMARY:
I really like the game but then got so bored of it I just forgot about it. Its really good in the begining but then it gets lame. I guess I can say buy it if you have some spare cash and feel like wasiting a few hours. Other then that don't.

This game has stunning grahics and a compeling storyline. It is also challenging but not insanely difficult. Play it on easy and when you beat it the next difficulty level gives you a better challenge and so on. It gets better every time and neat things happen at each difficulty level if you find all of the challenge points for the entire game. The challenge points are not that hard to get if you use your head. This is an all around great game.

THE GOOD:
Good graphics, and story line. Ties in well with the Star Wars Series.

THE BAD:
Nothing really.

SUMMARY:
I found the game overall very fun, entertaining, and well worth the money. I liked it a lot, but didn't feel it deserved a perfect 5. Great game though.
