Rating: 5 [ i still play this game ]
My shelf is full of games I've played all the way through one time, a few I never finished, and a few I've played through a couple of times, but I've played Dark Forces many times. It was the first first-person shooter I ever played, but it's more than nostalgia that keeps me coming back. While the graphics are dated, this game is still compelling for a number of reasons: you have *real* short- and long-term missions -- not just killing, but figuring out puzzles, achieving goals, getting artifacts, etc; the weapons and gadgets are fun; the surroundings are great -- various planets and ships in the Star Wars universe; the villains are always cool and often extraordinary (Boba Fett! Dark Troopers!); you can jump and crawl; there's a good mapping utility and there are secret stashes of ammo. I love this game.A strength: the game is very stable. A weakness: no saving within a level! A bonus -- the music is very good.
Get this game. If you value action and creativity, enjoy the Star Wars milieu, and don't despair over dated graphics, you will probably really like it.
Rating: 5 [ Star Wars: Dark Forces ]
I love Dark Forces. I like the graphics--not as sharp as Jedi Knight, but not as 'conical' either. I enjoy the music. But, more than anything, I love the storyline. Dark Forces is lively and fun, with interesting puzzles.My only complaint with Dark Forces was that they never offered an expansion pack. I'm currently installing a second OS on my computer so I can run Dark Forces again--it won't run under Windows XP.
I have no interest in "Jedi: Outcast."
And since it seems to be standard in these reviews... The Empire Strikes Back--best story, best visuals. Star Wars--great story, good action. Attack of the Clones--best action, decent visuals (more is not better), ok story. Phantom Menace--good visuals, good story. Return of the Jedi--good story.
