Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - N64

Pros Cons
Awesome audio Repetitive gameplay
Epic boss fights Unresponsive controls
Intense action  
Mostly enjoyable, but flawed.

This review was too long for GP's restrictions, so you can read the full version on my blog here

Bottom Line:
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a second chance game that I ended up enjoying despite it's flaws. That being said, those flaws will drive away everyone except hardcore Star Wars fans, and nostalgic N64 gamers. Anyone else who's looking for a quality third person shooter with a strong sci-fi influence on their N64's will be better off looking into Jet Force Gemini. Those looking for a good space flight game on the N64 should look into Rogue Squadron. The jack of all trades is truly a master of none, and the only thing Shadows masters is how to be average.

My only gripe with the game was the somewhat clunky controls.. otherwise it's one of the best Star Wars games ever.

I also enjoyed this game. I wouldn't say it's average but neither is it outstanding. 3.25 stars. Believe it or not, I liked this game WAAAAY more than the supposedly classic SNES titles.
