Star Wars game retrospective

Part 5 is out at last!

This one was not so good for me. They spend ages talking about the Battlefront games, and then jam games like Supremacy in with barely 2 minutes of coverage.

It's the first of the videos which covers the point where I gradually drifted away from the Star Wars games. I loved Supremacy, flaws and all. Force Commander was disappointing and clunky but I enjoyed it. Mostly. Galactic Battlegrounds was the game which taught me once and for all that I am done with RTS games and Age of Empires clones. I tried the demo of Empire at War and found it claustrophobic and cramped, and never brought the game. Battlegrounds doesn't appeal to me in the slightest; I don't do multiplayer.

Part 6 is the Dark Forces series. Ah, the memories ...

If you didn't play EaW you missed out. The space battles and galactic conquest mode alone make it worth the price. Battlefront 2 was a great game. It's story mode was ver well done. Storming the jedi temple was a blast.

I hated conquest mode with a passion.

What's wrong with you?

Part 6 is up. I shall be watching it once I've finished reading the org. This one's going to be a biggie; Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith are 3 of my most fondly remembered Star Wars games. If they devote most of the time to the quake 3 engine games I'll be unhappy.

Oh, and I brought the Empire at War gold pack. Heaven knows why; I'll probably never have time to play it. Happy now? :p

I absolutely loved Jedi Knight and the expansion, but for some reason I could never get into Jedi Knight 2.

Mmm, I didn't like Outcast as much either. It was good, I played through it multiple times, and not once did I feel it stood on a par with its predecessors. I guess it was mainly the fault of certain sections, such as the forced stealth level, and the stupid jumping puzzle bit to send a com signal. They were so disappointing after the elegant force based puzzles of Mysteries. The levels themselves felt smaller and less inventive. There was nothing to compare to running through a dying space ship with failing gravity and structural problems, or the swamp and Sith temple.
