Shadows of the Empire strikes back

byflamepillar Sep 29, 2002
99 Helpfuls 100 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great graphics; awesome sound effects! Interesting sideplot off of the Star Wars story
Cons Extremely stiff controls; unbelievably difficult at times.
Recommended it? Yes

Nothing like taking a universally acclaimed series such as the Star Wars Trilogy and throwing in a side plot to make a video game. That is just what Shadows of the Empire did, and it has become one of the most memorable games to hit the Nintendo 64's library.

Han Solo may have been one of... Read full review »

Chasing Shadows looking for a good game

byflash-hammer Apr 4, 2007
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The piloting levels, the sound
Cons The rest of it is really quite unexceptional and frustrating
Recommended it? No

The Star Wars franchise and videogames are a frustrating combination. While George Lucas' tale of a Galaxy Far, Far Away has inspired some thoroughly fantastic videogames, for every Knights of the Old Republic there seems to be at least 3 Rebel Assaults. Likewise, what has become known as the... Read full review »

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire

Pros It is fun
Cons It is really hard
Recommended it? Yes

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire is a pretty good game. I think that it is a little too hard. I used to play it a fair amount, but don't really play it any more. I like the levels where you are in a plane. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, you can be in a space fighter and on the ground with your... Read full review »

This Is One Cool Star Wars Game!

byDark__Knight Mar 14, 2000
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fun, cool codes, good graphics, good storyline
Cons Needs a multiplayer mode, little replay value once beaten on every difficulty
Recommended it? Yes

This game is very good, considering that it's a Star Wars game not based on any movie, so you don't know what to expect, and that it has different types of levels so it doesnt get repetitive. You play as former smuggler Dash Rendar, and you play everywhere from the Battle of Hoth to the skyhook... Read full review »

Pros lots of games in one
Cons some games not so good
Recommended it? Yes

This game is full of great features. First, it has 5 different games in 1 game. The graphics are awesome. You can vary your view from the back to the far back to the cockpit or even see a front view of yourself coming.

Each game is so different. On one, you're in command of a spaceship... Read full review »

The Empire Strikes Again!!

Pros Level variety, story, graphics, sound samples
Cons I wish there were more levels
Recommended it? Yes

Preface


I am not one of those freaks that hangs out in front of the theatre for a week dressed up like a pathetic version of some character from the movie, but I do like the Star Wars saga. I have not read the books, so in that respect some of the characters, places, and devices are a... Read full review »

You Don't Have To Be A Fan To Like This Game

byPika312 Mar 5, 2001
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many different kinds of levels, big cheat code, great weapons and items.
Cons No lightsabers, no Darth Vader, AI is low, code is hard to pull off.
Recommended it? Yes

This game shows why Star Wars is so popular. I'm not a fan myself, but this game is lovable without having to buy everything of Star Wars. Shadows of the Empire takes place before Return of the Jedi and before The Empire Strikes Back, but there has been no movie on it.

In Shadows of the... Read full review »

Starwars: Cut and paste?

byfirebird1 Feb 25, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of variety.
Cons Lacking continuity seems like a hodge podge of leftovers from other games.
Recommended it? Yes

I am not going to say that this game is a total washout. I have it and have enjoyed it but I guess I have gotten a bit spoiled by role play games with very thick storylines. Also I have not had the chance to read the Starwars Shadows of the Empire book that this game is supposedly based on. But to... Read full review »

Shadows of the Book, Shadows of the Empire

Pros Great game, nice levels/graphics.
Cons DOES NOT FOLLOW BOOK!
Recommended it? No

This game is a great single player game. It has the basic idea like Duke and Doom, but Star Wars style and even better. The sound is done well, the action is pumped and continuous. It is a well done game, for not following the book.

Ok, now for the tongue-lashing! The book follows the... Read full review »
