As soon as I saw this game in the front page, I bought, downloaded and played it. This was my favorite game when I was a kid. And know I am paying it again, just like then, in my language, wiht that gloriously overcompressed cutscenes and with all the magic that only classic Star Wars and "golden-aged" Lucasarts can gather. Thank you, GOG, for bring me back those moments.
I can´t write an objective review in my current status of acute nostalgitis, but I may try.
This is a first person shotter until mission 4, when you get the light saber, then it become a third person action game. You can configure the game so you autoswitch between first and thir person view when you use a gun or the light saber, or you just press F1 to swicht when you want.
There are about 20 mission (22, if I remember well), some are just a duel against a single boss, some are short and lineal levels, some are more open and complex. I think you will need about 8-10 hours to finish the game. There is a lot of variety in scenarios (space stations, villages, ships, an abandoned house, a base in a mountain), weapons (blasters, rifles, wookie crossbow, rocket launcher, thermal detonators, machine guns) and enemies (stormtroopers, aliens, animals, some siths..).
Then, there is the Force. You can become a jedi or a sith (just kill civilians or not), and the ending and some bosses will change depending of your way. You can earn force points (to do this, you must find secret places, so you must explore hard), and assign them to several power, like superjump, healing, shield, mental trick, thunderbolt, etc. And you will need them later in game, with harder enemies or complex jumping puzzle.
It was one of the best games in that time, and for me, it will be for ever.
PD: No, you can´t use harware acceleration in a modern sistem. Fortunately, it's not necessary. But if someone found a way to fix it, well, that would be orgasmic.
