LucasArts has birthed over 30 different Star Wars themed games, ranging from arcade to puzzle to adventure games. Overall, this is one Star Wars game which doesn't out a foot wrong and which deserves to be in any fan's collection. The story is twisty and turny and will keep you hooked to the end, while the missions are engaging and exciting in equal measure, and are challenging enough to keep even genre veterans playing for some time. The visuals are a little blocky but they are still dripping in atmosphere, while the sound effects are just as great.
Even twenty years later, Dark Forces still stands as a fine example of the FPS genre, and doesn't even need rose-tinted glasses to make it seem good. This one is a little different from the usual run 'n' gun shooters of the time, in that follows a more structured mission-based setup, with briefings and objectives all adding to the immersion and fun. This translates into an extremely well implemented first person shooter, where you explore a series of environments familiar from the classic movies, while taking on Stormtroopers and other iconic enemies and wielding some of hi-tech weaponry. This one follows the adventures of Kyle Katarn, a former Stormtrooper who must take down the Empire from the inside and prevent its new plans for another Death Star from reaching fruition.
It's got a gripping, well-told story, visuals which stand up well today, and perhaps most importantly really nails that Star Wars look and feel, making it a must play for any fan.
You're a little short to be a StormtrooperĪ superb addition to the Star Wars universe which stands alongside X-Wing as one of the franchise's defining moments, this is a Doom-style shooter that really makes you feel part of the Rebel Alliance.
