    For all the great things this game has going for it, longevity is its weakness. With only 14 real missions, each of which able to be completed in less then ten minutes, there's just not much game for your money.

    Princess Amidala might by nice and decorative, but a convincing military leader she ain't.

    A decent game with the mammoth Star Wars license couldn't have come at a better time for the system.

    Somewhat of a mixed bag - the game has frenetic shooting action and decent control, but it's mediocre mission design and short length make keep it from the greatness of such predecessors like "Tie Fighter" and "Rogue Squadron."

    It's a really fun game with a great challenge and fine graphics for its time.

    The controls are extremely hard to grasp, but once you get it the game is fairly rewarding.

This is the game that made us forget about Jar Jar long enough to appreciate The Phantom Menace, but it is not perfect. But, hey if you can grab a copy at Disc Replay for $3 who cares?… Full Review »
