Video Game Reviews of Star Wars: X-Wing (Jewel Case)

Customer Review: A GAME LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF IT'S TIME
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember playing the original version of this on my old computer that only had 33MHz of speed. But despite that, X-Wing ran absolutley great on my computer, allowing me to play one of THE BEST space simulations EVER! Hey, I would even go so far to say that this is one of the best FLIGHT simulations ever!

The graphics and sound effects were outstanding. The X-Wing models looked SO real! Sometimes I felt that if I touched my computer screen I would touch the metal frame of the X-Wing itself!

Excellent flight controls that allow you to CONTROL your ship. Flying itself was pretty self-explanatory, just point the mouse where you want to go and hit the accelerator. But if you were under attack--or attacking--you could reconfigure your shields, lasers, and even your engine power to suit your needs at that precise moment. You could fire some of your lasers or all of them. You could make your shields protect the front or rear of your ship, depending if you were being attacked head-on or from behind. Even an eject button with a special animation and End-Scene to show you what your fate is.

The missions range from escorting ships, conducting difficult rescue operations, clearing mine fields, attacking huge starships (and later the Death Star itself), reconnaisance, you name it.

X-Wing is a HARD game though. Some of the rescue missions require that you know beforehand which ship has the prisoners on them. And one level that just killed me: You are flying among literally DOZENS of mines, that all fire at you, while you're trying to identify supplies . . . and then enemy reinforcements arrive!

But as hard as some of these missions were, the game had so much depth that it was nearly impossible to not want to play more, to see what would happen next.

Finally, I want to say that I LOVE the after-battle camera system in X-Wing. Even today, I think it is one of the best. You can replay the entire mission and see the whole mission unfold from the enemy's POV, allies POV, even stationary objects POV, and a free space camera that just sits in space and watches from a fixed point. You could also pause at any point and move the camera to see just exactly where and how that laser clipped your wing.

And nothing makes you feel more rewarded than a chest full of medals for doing great things for the Republic!

In a galaxy full of Star Wars games, this game shines as one of the best.
