Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire

"What will we learn from this? FMV and Star Wars do not mix!"

Oh the horror. You would think after the less than successful first attempt, Lucas Arts would have given up. But did they? Of course not, the bastards!

Story? What story? Oh, you mean where the Empire has some new weapon and you have to stop it? That's original.

Um, there aren't really in graphics here, just a long string of FMV that you have to steer through. Did no one learn from the Sega CD?!?

Good tunes mixed with bad dubbing is what you'll find for your listening dis-pleasure. And what the hell is up with Darth Vader's voice?!? He sounds like he has a cold or something.

Okay, basically there are no controls. You pretty much just move a cursor around, or push up, left, down, or right, and a button to fire.

I can't even begin to tell you how much the design disappoints me. The sets are horrible, the controls bad, the story bad, the only redeeming quality is its a Star Wars game. Not much to go on in this case.

No bonuses to be found in this game. What you see is what you get. Blah!

If you can find this game for like ten bucks, pick it up for a novelity, or maybe to blackmail someone in Lucas Arts. Otherwise, steer clear.
