Star Wars meets Tekken...
Each has his or her own special abilities, from Darth Vader’s Force lightning to Thok the Gamorrean warrior’s Giant growth. And as a bonus, each comes packing heat, whether a blaster, grenades, or possibly the greatest, a lightsaber.
The story line is kept rather short and simple. Each character has a unique ending, after defeating all opponents in the Arcade mode. Some are just pictures, others are CG movies. While the fighting becomes just a rehash of repetitive maneuvers, the game does have an impressive soundtrack, which can also be played separately in a CD player.
Only true Star Wars fans will appreciate this game. Personally I have always loved it, being a fan of the Virtua Fighter and Tekken series, and a serious Star Wars nut. Sadly, I cannot give a rank based on emotional attachment, or it would be a mid-9. * * *
