Star Wars: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (Jewel Case) Reviews
You can fly for either the rebel aliance or the Empire in a variety of craft. A great game for any Star Wars fan. This is one of the better Star Wars games I have played becuase of it's replay value, you can either play online or work for higher medals and rank on your missions. While this is an old game, it is one of the best Star Wars games that I have played.
Unless you're an incredibly good pilot, you won't be able to do all the missions solo without turning down the difficulty. That can be a good deal of fun, provided you have a fast and stable connection. The same goes for the Balance of Power add-on, which contains some very difficult and boring objectives (would you like to identify 50 freighters for us). It's much better for the single play aspect that the older games were so strong in. Until you get Balance of Power, the only heavy Rebel fighter is the Y-Wing. In fact, you will be unpleasantly surprised to see that there are fewer types of ships and stations than in the earlier game. This bodes ill for any Rebel fans that want to play missions in which a target must be disabled. If you're looking for a cool story like the ones in X-Wing or TIE Fighter, go get Alliance instead.
No matter which side you choose, the other side will probably win if you're alone. If you like playing with friends, then you can play this and the expansion cooperatively. Aside from new texturing, the models are similar to the ones in TIE Fighter. It does a good job of that, and many would argue a too good job. This game seems to have been made to address the lack of multiplay in either X-Wing or TIE Fighter. I also can't help but notice that the Imperials have the superior TIE Advanced and Assault Gunboat, which seems a bit unbalancing for multiplay purposes.
TIE Fighter hoping it would be like the beloved original X-Wing, with better graphics and more ships. The huge, never-seen-in-the-movies gun turrets on the star destroyers looked incredibly lame as well.Even though the sound effects were turned up to maximum volume in the Configuration screen, I still had to turn up my computer's volume ALL the way to hear them. Sadly, the game looked awful, with shifting texture maps on the large ships, presented in a maximum 640x480 resolution. Adjusting the John Williams background music had no effect on its volume, so I had to turn it off. There was no training exercise information on how to handle missiles locked on to the player's ship, which was quite an oversight for a supposedly "fun" product. I bought X-Wing vs. The graphics improved with Balance of Power, but the dim starlight made the battle scenes less than impressive. For a game based on visually stunning movie masterpieces, it was annoying to maneuver around the pitch black underbelly of a star destroyer with no lights on the hull.
It's definitely a favorite of theirs. Order it, order it, order it. You can't go wrong with this one (and the price is right, too). My sons are 14 and 11 and they both like it alot, however my 14 year old plays it the most. My kids LOVED IT from the moment it arrived in the mail.
They're addicted to the Star Wars adventures whether it be movies, books or computer games. And speaking of delivery, it was here in 3 days. How's that for customer service. You feel like you're actually sitting in the cockpit with the pilot.
this game was great. i especially like the way you can destroy tie fighters easily. the taunts are awesome too. it takes a few minutes to get used to the complex cockpit, but it is worth getting used to. this game isnt any ol' shoot em' up game it requires a little strategy too. i like the campaign missions because it feels like the movie, the rebels are always running and the imperials are always chasing.
