Star Wars™: Rebel Assault 1 + 2

Rebel Assault is completely broken. The controls are entirely too sensitive. Even if you drop the framerate and difficulty to get pass Beggar's Canyon, you then encounter the awful aiming controls in the other stages. The second game is moderately more playable, but ultimately was much better on the 32-bit Playstation console port, so if you really want to play the second game use the methods available to you to play that one instead. I'm really concerned with GoG knowingly selling broken unplayable games. Their should at least be a warning or disclaimer on the game page. If I could get a refund, I would do so.

As a preface. I do not own this game through GOG, and through Steam instead. I came to GOG hoping to see if their version had controller compatibility because trying to play some levels becomes nearly impossible without a joystick, specifically the millenium falcon escape sequence in chapter 3 of Rebel Assault 2. If at any point you lose the center position for your mouse, you'll just start ramming into the wall over and over until you find center again, at which point you are likely dead. True, you can just skip the level by looking up all the level passwords online, but it's not the same. Plus, chapter 3 isn't the only offender. On the other hand, the first level is super easy. Granted it's a first level so I can let it slide. The second level is just perfect in my opinion. It takes some time to learn patterns and patience, but it becomes worthwhile in the end. I remember playing this game as a very young kid and never getting far, maybe it was just because i was bad or maybe the game is more unfair than I thought. I even had a full blown joystick that we used too. Man do i wish that thing still worked.

Désolé, mais la nostalgie ne fait pas tout. Ce jeu se joue avec la souris et est parfaitement injouable, le retrogaming ne justifie pas tout. Gardez votre argent, ce jeu n'en vaut pas la peine... Même si vous êtes fan de Star Wars, ne faites pas l'erreur de l'acheter, regarder un speedrun sur Youtube, ça vaut mieux.

I first played these on an Apple Power Macintosh back in the day. The first one was unplayable on m&k. I got a joystick and it was better. Now if you have a controller like an Xbox controller (not sure is ps will work) it makes it the first one much easier. It definitely is hard as the controls suck but if you use the special code up + fire down + fire left + fire and right + fire at the Lucasarts logo it activates a level skip (press escape) and damage reduction (press +) that makes the first one playable. The second one is miles better. The first one is basically ANH and ESB blended together. Both games are fun and playable. I highly recommend to any SW fan but they aren't for everyone.

No sound working in the game. Tried all the sound options on the configuration. Don't waste your money.
