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.
