Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire review

Recommended

We'll never get paid if you stay here all day! Go away, Sir! Shadows of The Empire was more than just a Game at the Launch of The n64: It was rightly promoted by Lucasfilm as a "Project in Multimedia": There was everything about Shadows: A Novel, comic, an impressive, epic Soundtrack-and that very video Game. There is no one thing-The accompanying Film. Narratively, the Project closed a Gap in the Star Wars Primal Trilogy: It tells from the Perspective of Dash Rendar, a Han Solo Blend to me mechanical Joints, which happened after "The Empire Strikes Back" and before "Return of the Jedi." As Dash Rendar, You take Part in the Cockpit of a Snow ladder at the Battle of Hoth, fight his way through the Echo base, imperial Freighters and other Settings in the Thrid person or ego perpective, and fly in the Cockpitt of the Outrider, a millennium Falcon Blend, Attacks against the Empire and the Black Sun, an Organization whose Leader Prince Xizor Vader wants to replace as the right Hand of the Imperatior. You'll also encounter the IG-88 Bounty Hunters and the infamous Boba Fett as you go on. Genreapplies-depending on which Level you are playing-Everything is offered here: Arcade-Dogfights, Third Person Shooters, Railgun Shooters and a futuristic Racing Game-there is variety. All Worlds exude an incredibly dense Atmosphere-Also supported by the great Soundtrack. Inally, the Creators John Williams himself had wanted to win over to the Soundtrack, but with Joel McNeely, John Williams recommended to them an equally gifted Composer, the themes, which are well-known from new Pieces and John Williams, into an ingenious One. Soundtrack put together. You could only Criticize the sometimes somewhat spongy controls in the game-In order to have the GAME ready for the US launch of the n64, one probably saved a bit on the Fine Tuning of the Gameplay. Still, one of the most impressive Star Wars Games out there-a Must for Fans!
