Dark Forces
The level design and storyline add to an exciting play. The level designs that were established by the developers are an astonishing accomplishment in terms of rendering and placement. They are extremely linear, and the short count levels do not provide a true, mesmerazing gaming experience.
The Strong storyline also allows the player to get a glimpse of the small part of the Star Wars universe. The first adventure of the Rebellion mercenary, Kyle Katarn, established a long lasting series, after all. Finding clues and defeating one of the most feared Imperial weapons, the Dark Trooper, adds an exciting atmosphere and will impulse the player to discover the quest of Katarn. As a result, most players will play the game to the end.
Since the game is very old, the graphics definitely show . Simple sprites and textures are common . Although the level design is rendered in 3D, the simple texture and character models show some pretty eye candy. The cut scenes range from simple sprite images of characters to 3D . The sound of blaster fire and taunting of enemies really puts depth to the environment. The music that plays throughout the game is also well made and offers great variety. The age of DOS games are remembered to be simple blips and bleeps in some cases. However, Dark Forces sets itself apart from the surreal environment that is displayed due to the sound quality.
Although blasting enemies gets repetitive and the graphics and sounds are clearly out of date, this game provides a lasting experience. It is truly a title that Star Wars fans will remember, even though the titles of this depht are almost non existent from the famed developer LucasArts.
