mark my words
Don't get me wrong, this game plays great and I love playing as the apprentice of the great Lord Vader himself (no relation). I love the gameplay mechanics, voice acting and the graphics are great for its age. The costumisation is so good that I actually missed the times where you can get your game skins by actually playing the game.] However, the game does need some love and unfortunately I don't think that love will come from the devs any time soon (more like ever). And unfortunately that lack of care and love is not exclusive to this game, but virtually all old star wars games are basically abandonware at this point and it fall on you to fix it. The game only supports 1080p, it's locked at 30fps and the controls are a little more than janky when playing with keyboard and mouse. There are fixes for this though, thanks to the community. So this is my reccomendation - you should get the game at a discount, do a quick google search for the fixes I mentioned and enjoy the game. It is far superior to whatever EA is doing with this franchise anyway (with the exception of the last two games) and will no doubt put you in the Star Wars mood...
I would say that this is a must-have for collectors of the star wars games, but I fear nostalgia has gotten into people's heads if they are saying this is a 5* game. It's very repetitive, the story is the classic - we have a generic mission, go and complete it and so on, the loop gets old real quick and overall just isn't something that pulls you and engages. Buy if heavily discounted, otherwise don't
I like the game's structure, the combat and the art-style, however the gameplay loop is incredibely boring, to the point where I just gave up. You basically run around similar looking structures for hours, in repetitive fetch/ find someone quests that altough accompanied by humorous lines, get old really quick. Hopefully you will enjoy it more than I have.
I got this game for £4 and I've had more fun than I ever had with its 2016 counterpart, where I spent £80 for the super duper edition. The best memory I have of this game has to be when I was just a kid, got the controller and walked my wookie to a tie fighter and was amazed that I was actually able to just pilot it. Freedom is without a doubt the best feature of this game - you can pilot any vehicle that you see and that is simply amazing. The AI is surprisingly inteligent, more so that most of your online team mates and enemies. Sometimes you will have the random weird stormtrooper just rolling into the abiss, but so will many of your real-life teammates. The graphics are obviously dated, but have their own charm and appeal. They have aged quite finely, where you see that there were limitations but they did the best they could and it shows. If you are a fan of star wars you MUST have this game!
An amazing story of love, grief and facing your worst enemy - your mind. This game checks all the right boxes when it comes to a great game - the combat mechanics are heavy and gritty, you can feel the weight of your sword and the impact each hit on you takes. The story is rich and heavy, surrounded by a mist of misticism. The acting is absolutely superb. An absolute must have for anyone
A must buy
I love it
The story is rather contrived and takes itself way too seriously - this is at an age where games were starting to think that they could be movies - dividing themselves by chapters, contrived emotion and 'plot twists' that have no impact because you haven't processed what the previous 'twist' meant and trying to get you into the whole 'is it real?' - the cutscene graphics are abismally bad and make the main character look like he has a thyrod problem, altough the in-game graphics on max can be nice. The gameplay loop is plain horrible, its just the same thing over and over again, to the point that I actually look fowards to the cutscenes The voice acting is good, and all of the actors did a good job, the story does have some bits where you start to get interested and invested (altough it soon breaks it with another 'twist' which just pulls you right off) and I have encountered no bugs. This is way overhyped and I just can't reccomend it.
An amazing piece of work from a one man team, great animations, gameplay and graphics it will surely scratch your itch for great platformers. You can expect nice 6-10 hours of gameplay, depending on how completionist you want to go and your skill level. I couldn't reccomend more if you are looking for a fun game to remind you of when games were actually fun and not mediums to milk as much money out of you as possible and keep coming back as a second job.
