First of all, I've absolved a complete runthrough and expierienced no problems with the GOG-Version, neither on Win XP x64 or Win 7 x64. Well done, GOG! The rating above is for the game itself. It appears clearly outdated by todays standards and not only technically. I really don't have a problem with the edged characaters or the awkward drawn lightsabers. But I do have serious issues with enjoying this old classic. If you played this game by the time it was released, it my have been an amazing expierience with the lovely live action cutscenes (although the acting may be no hollywood material), the extensive levels with 200m deep abysses and the movie-like scenery and looks. But the game has also an unnerving AI. The enemies are partial running around like ants but hits you with blasters like snipers. Its is nearly unavoidable to get hit (even against a single enemy it is hard not to take damage) and there are no real lightsaber skills like in the successors. In the few lightsaber duels, you need to try to hit the enemy constantly at his side or back by stupidly running around him. This is always a matter of sheer patience. There are always playing the same parts of some of John Williams' Score in the background, which is normally of course great, but not when it's always the same short clips again and again and again. At some parts of the game I even got the feeling that the "blaster-only" predecessor made a bit more fun. However, the story and the immersion are quite better than in the subsequent parts of the series, as well as the anxious and in most parts successfull conversion of the old movies' themes, making it still worth playing, especially for SW-Fans.
