A long time ago in a galaxy full of old-school frustration....
When Super Star Wars was released in 1992, it was considered to be a very cutting edge game. It had amazing 2D graphics along with some impressive "3D" vehicle sequences....but it also had something that you don't see mu... Read Full Review

Creative - not really. Fun - most definitely.
Story: It's Star Wars, are you even reading this section !? The game follows the first movie pretty well. Gameplay: Classic side-scrolling action. You get a blaster AND a lightsaber so it doesn't get old. Most le... Read Full Review

Super Star Wars? Well, it is "Super" and it is "Star Wars". This is challenging, great 2D action.
I never really liked Star Wars that much before, but...I'm slowly starting to appreciate it more. So the Virtual Console has 3 Super Nintendo games of the original trilogy. I just finished Super Star Wars, and it is some... Read Full Review

"It's not a good game that's wrongly considered great, it's a bad game that's wrongly considered good."
Oh ho ho ho, I saw the flies before I even smelled the turd on this little number. I've had conversations with friends and cousins in the past on what makes a video game overrated: Is it a game that receives hype that it... Read Full Review

Star Wars platformer gaming at its finest.
A less-known shooter-platformer game, you travel the Star Wars-themed levels with your blaster to reach the goal and save the galaxy. Story: You've heard it before, right? Luke Skywalker lives on Tatooine with his Un... Read Full Review

This average repetitive shooter doesn't stand out neither as an action game nor as a Star Wars game.
It was quite a surprise for me that there were actually 3 Star Wars games on the SNES based on the Original Trilogy. I was quite confused when I stumbled upon those games because the first one was just called Super Star ... Read Full Review

It's a landmark title, but I'm not likely to ever try to take on the Empire in THIS particular Star Wars release again.
Lucasarts and JVC (two of the most respected entertainment brands of the time), teamed up to make an important entry into the Star Wars series. I'm no longer a Star Wars "enthusiast", but let's just say that back in 1992... Read Full Review

Super Star Wars proves to be a wholly satisfying experience.
Super Star Wars is one of many platformers to hit the Super Nintendo in 1992. Released along with other greats such as Contra III and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, Super Star Wars presented one of the... Read Full Review

Pretty decent game.
Super Star Wars is fun, but it's a little hard. There is no saving and some of the bosses can be really hard if you don't have power-ups. You first start off with Luke, but you can get 2 other characters later on in the ... Read Full Review

STill a fun game to play
Thought this game was one of the better platformers around. Your luke skywalker and you get a laser gun and light saber. AS you progress through the game you unlock Chewi and Hans Solo as playable characters. They play ... Read Full Review
