This is a PC gaming classic. Got an old PC and looking for some fun? This is [dollar amount] well spent. I paid [dollar amount] for it when it was the hottest game on the market (6 years ago?).
Not a bad game fot it's day, but it's looking very dated

This game is an old DOS based game, the graphics are terrible, the charechters are flat, and the resolution is stuck in 320x240. I dont know how the sound is because it wont work with my windows ME sound card driver. The game play is not that bad and the levels are interesting but the lousy graphics serve to somewhat ruin this. This isn't a bad game it's just not as good as some of the other FPS's out there.

I am a big fan of FPS games so I bought this. I had played Jedi Knight (An awesome game) and thought this would be similar. I was very wrong. The graphics were lo-res sprites, I was stuck firing at a blob of black and white dots that was supposedly a storm trooper, and I was stuck with "find the key, open the door" game mechanics. Once I got used to the game It wasn't so bad. An okay game, but know what you're buying...
Not bad for it's day.

It was very cool when it first came out, and would be a good buy for any fan who wants to experience the thrill of blasting stormtroopers, especially for it's current price.
Not bad but dated...

When this game was released it was a great game. But it is a few years old now, and it really shows. There are much better versions available as freeware now. This game is at the level one would expect for cell phones or cheap PDAs.A gamer would be better to spend the extra money for Jedi Academy or Knights of the Old Republic.
If you're a fan of Star Wars, this is you pick....

If you love FPS (First Person Shooter) games and you love Star Wars, this game is for you. Although it's old(made with the same old engine as Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior), it's still a cool game. Base on the comics Dark Forces--Rebel Agent, is the story of Kyle Katarn, a once Imperial officer is now a mercenary for the rebels. It's the prequel to the famous Jedi Knight games.
Great Action Game

I absolutely love this game, its one of the best action games I've ever played. The levels are scary, challenging, and fun. If you like action games, and you like star wars buy it.
First person shooting at its (albeit primitive) finest

How many games have grinded against your nerves, yet left you thirsting for more action? How many games offer the most nerve racking of all enemies in the garbage monster? My list is very short--in fact, it only contains one item. Dark Forces is one of the finest first person shooters to ever grace the computer screen. It set the table for the line of Jedi Knight games, and it did so magnificently. Though there were many difficult puzzles along the way, I actually felt like trying to beat them myself instead of giving up, or heading for the walkthrough.
I hope many agree with me when I say that Dark Forces has no rival in what it brings to the table. While the graphics are somewhat dated (which has been stated many times over in these reviews), gameplay is not sacrificed one bit.
Since technology is improving so quickly, I fear that many gamers in the world may miss out on this classic. For all of us who have played through the 14 levels of pure gold, though, it will be with us forever.
Old but Good

Let me start by saying that this is a pretty old game, so the graphics are somewhat...unimpressive, but this game is a lot of fun. It ties into the movies (getting the Death Star plans. Saving general Madine) It's a very addictive game and you'll find you're self playing nonstop.
