If you buy this, it'll take a while to completely finish this game. The game itself is a good idea, it's a on-foot shooter and a space shooter. Unfortunatley, the graphics and movement don't exactly sparkle. I laugh at the way Dash jumps! They could've done a little more work on the graphics. The music perfectly suits a star wars game, and the sound effects are realistic. The envirorments were well thought out. I swear, I've never been in the inside of a space station going for the core. Well, I'll give a little bit of the story away. You're Dash, one of Han Solo's mercenary buddies, as well as a racing rival. You were hired by the rebelillion to take a position in rouge squardron. After the hoth fight, it centers around Dash, a forgotten character in the sw series. Shadows of the Empire takes place in the middle of Empire SB and ROTJ. They could've made a movie out of it, but ol' Georgie wanted it to be a trilogy. Like said in the title this'll last a while. Beat it in all dificultly levels, look for codes, collect all the challenge points. Warning: This gets old. You're on your own for buying decisions. I have a well balanced opinion about it. Rent it, see what you think, then decide.

*this game rocks but the excitment wears thin once you beat it.

*the levels are hard and long but soemare so long they're boring!

*the graphics are so-so, but the special affects and sound affects rock.

*the game sticks to the story line of "Shadows of the Empire" mainly.

*if you like hardcore action I recommend this for you!

great game! for a while

This is a good game that I would reccomend to buy. you can fly in a jet pack and other stuff.

Very depressing. Great for gloomy, rainy afternoons.

THIS GAME IS VERY DARK. Turn up the brigness on your tv before you play it. Never play if you're easily depressed:-( Ranges from very easy to very impossible. I don't even know if it's worth buying unless you're a collector. You could probably find it for very little because it's a Player's Choice awarded game.

On a whole I really enjoyed playing the game. The graphics where pretty goo, but where to me no better or worse than any other N64 game considering the technology available at the time. The difficulty and save features were a bit irritating at times, but I am one who likes a challenge. I feels a whole lot better when you finish a game that most critics deem to be very difficult. It shows that you have the skill it takes to overcome the obstacles put forth by the creators. I have also read the book and the game is a good representation of it. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 7.5. Thanks for taking the time to read my comments. Thanks. Atiba Tucker

The flying levels are great and the Mos Eisley speeder bike level rocks, but overall the control and graphics are bad. The afore mentioned levels have good graphics and the different weapons are cool, but still the weak controls, awful cut scenes and un-involving story line make this have little replay value. But some of those flying levels are great but as a shooter its dull. Get Rogue Squadron for the flying, Pod Racer for the speederbike stuff and Dark Forces 2 for a great shooter.

The game has it's good parts, including the amazing first level and the cool bosses (Boba Fett and AT-STs), but some levels become long and repetitive, giving it a low replay value. Overall, it is an average game, with a little bit of everything in it. You can swim, fly, shoot, and pilot spaceships all in one game. But still, if you are a hard-core Star Wars fan, you will probably be disappointed with this failed attemt at a fun game.

Good for first generation

If you grew up watching Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, this game will be a bit of a disappointment to because you're Dash Rendar from the not as popular book Shadows of the Empire. Not as many people are familiar with this character as nintendo may have thought. Despite a slight let down in the game's premise, the game itself is pretty fun. Try it out, but you should probably rent it before buying it.

Not bad for an old game

It is a good game. Although some times it is hard to see which way to go. If you like the movie about STAR¡@WARS then it will be a worth to buy.
