****************************************************************************

Opening Side remarks: I love Star Wars. I've hated the games because most of
them were just flight combat. This one isn't...

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: It is very weird. One stage you are flying a spaceship 
and the next one you are walking ( Like Tomb Raider) and after you are speeding
through the desert in a hover bike.

Liked: Varied Gameplay can be good

Hated: Varied Gameplay can be bad

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Regular, The framerates are good and there is no slowdown
 ever. I hate the sequences between stages. They use cheap dated drawings 
with almost no movement. I've seen better, even earlier videogames (SNES, Saturn)

Liked: No slowdown

Hated: Sequences between stages.

****************************************************************************

Sound Description: The music is awesome. The sound effects too. Too bad there
is no voice...

Liked: Incredible music and SFX

Hated: No voice...

****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: The play control is fast and easy to learn...
This game is very cool and it deserves attention from every hardcore Star Wars 
fan (Including me...)

Liked: Very cool for Star Wars fans

Hated: Nothing awesome enough for non Star Wars fans

****************************************************************************

Improve: More stages

RIYL: Jedi Knight fo PC

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Star Wars was a comic book series. Between Empire Strikes Back 
and Return of Jedi there was Shadows of Empire. I wonder why they did a game
about it... coming back to the game, nice game, but It could have been better.
