Video Game Reviews of Star Wars: Dark Forces with 3-Levels of Jedi Knight

Customer Review: Does anybody really need this game?
Summary: 3 Stars

Dark Forces is a great game for those with a computer too slow to run its sequel - Jedi Knight (a Pentium 90 or less). These people won't be able to appreciate the improved graphics and sound of that newer game. Unfortunately, even in its own time, Dark Forces was burdened by a weak storyline and frustrating gameplay. Though you played a person, the movements of walking and head-turning seemed artificial, less like a walking person and more like a car driving - you may want to keep that dramamine nearby. Because the range of eye-movement is limited (especially compared to JK) it's hard to get a good situational awareness. Also, owing to mid-1990's AI, the enemies are pretty dissappointing - you pretty much wipe out only the enemies you'll find in any one area. Take out an imperial platoon in one area of a prison block, and you'll find another later on completely oblivious to that fact. Another dissappointment is how little LucasArts has updated the game - while X-Wing and Tie Fighter have been updated to exploit 3D hardware acceleration, DF seems as dated as ever. Buy it only if you're running on something less than a 486. Beware - this disk comes with 3 playable levels of Jedi Knight, and you'll be spoiled forever for Dark Forces if you so much as look at any one of them.
