Biowares first attempt at an action RPG, which they would perfect with Mass Effect. Combat is basic and not that fleshed out but serviceable. Story is interesting enough and the game is a decent length if you do a lot of side quests. The RPG elements are pretty light in terms of character customisation and it lacks the interesting characters and story variety of Mass Effect. You won't feel ripped off at the price of the game as it is but its not one of those games that offers much reason to go through it again
It no longer launches on GOG. Used to, but no longer
A very average RTS from a very talented former developer. Crazy this was made by the same guys that would go on to make classics such as, Clone Wars, Battlefront 1&2 and the Mercenaries series. But they had to start somewhere I guess
Having never played this game when I was younger but hearing about it I decided to give it a go. Gameplay wise its fun and graphics aren't bad for its time, refreshing to play a retro action game that isn't a FPS. But where it falls down is its story. You can tell right off the bat this story was written for the braindead Red Dawn crowd, with over the top cliched Russian villains and moronic plot points that would make Michael Bay blush. Fun overall just resist the temptation to skip the cutscenes to avoid the sheer dairy that is the dialogue
I remember playing this game on the Playstation 2 so many years ago and I believed this was the same version here on GOG. I guess the PS2 one was some sort of special edition because this PC version in an inferior product. Worse graphics and the entire Eqypt section at the start of the game is missing. Still the same in the gameplay department but I am glad I got this on discount
I remember enjoying this very much as a kid and it still is brainless fun but it hasn't aged well. The humour also I remember enjoying as a kid but as an adult.....its outright garbage, found myself skipping the cutscenes all together. Definetly consider getting it at a discount if you want some fun run and gun retro carnage
Despite some overdramatic queens in the review section, this game is not awful. Its to put it bluntly a very average feeling shooter, not groundbreaking but not trash also. Pick it up on sale if you feel like revisiting the early 2000s.
Played this game all the way back on the Original Xbox and it still feels fresh playing it today. How many games can you think of that lets you pilot a mech that can transform into a fighter jet?
Still as fun as I remember back from my Xbox days. One bonus of playing this game again in 2021, I finally realised one the main characters in this game is voiced by Adam West, worth playing it again just to discover that fact alone
Despite what some whiners in other comments may say, this version of Tie fighter is excellent. Great graphics great sound quality and excellent story. If you wanna play arguably one the best star wars games ever, give this a shot.
