About this product
Product Information
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire stars a cocky pilot named Dash Rendar (whose best friend, coincidentally, is Han Solo) as he fights alongside the Rebels during the attack on Hoth. Throughout the game's ten stages, players will alternate between on-foot missions and vehicle shooting sequences in levels set within the Star Wars universe.<br><br>The first level involves piloting a Snowspeeder as AT-ATs, AT-STs, and Probe Droids scour the frigid planet looking to crush the Rebel Alliance. The goal is to take out the opposition in four separate waves. Succeed and the game switches the viewpoint to behind Dash Rendar, as you guide the protagonist past the icy caverns inside Echo Base to find the Outrider (his ship). Snowtroopers, Wampas, and even an AT-ST boss must be dealt with before Rendar can escape.<br><br>The next phase, entitled "Asteroid Chase," involves shooting down TIE Fighters from a default view of inside the Outrider's cockpit -- all while trying to avoid asteroids. Eliminate 60 TIE Fighters and 20 TIE Bombers to advance to the next stage, the junkyard in Ord Mantell, to question the notorious IG-88 on the whereabouts of Boba Fett.<br><br>This level has Rendar running atop a moving train as players jump or duck to avoid hitting barriers. Survive the encounter with IG-88 and you're once again on foot, trying to find Boba Fett in the desert-like Gall Spaceport. As you make your way through the twisting canyons and narrow ledges, you'll need to look for the hidden jetpack so you can take on the deadly bounty hunter through the air.<br><br>Subsequent levels have Rendar riding a Swoop Bike through the streets of Mos Eisley and Beggar's Canyon while fending off rival bikers; climbing aboard the Imperial Freighter Suprosa to obtain secret plans for the new Death Star; trudging through the foul sewers below the Imperial City to infiltrate Prince Xizor's palace; and blasting off into space to destroy Xizor's Skyhook Station. Once players have completed a level, they can return to find hidden Challenge Points to unlock secrets on all three of the game's difficulty settings.Product Identifiers

The story that should have been a movie
Great gameplay and just a lot of fun seeing all these classic characters from a new angle, and the protagonist is one of the more memorable. Very and excitingly fills in the plot between empire and Jedi. The book is more in depth than the game clearly, but it still does a good job telling us about what was up in those months.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A true console classic, and a great Star Wars game
A great game for any retro-gamer or true Star Wars fan, Shadows of the Empire is an exemplar of LucasArts' dedication to delivering quality games set in the universe we fell in love with. Any fan delving beyond the Trilogy into the Expanded Universe (the true SW canon), will notice certain consistencies of visuals, sounds and story elements from this game to its PC predecessors, giving it a sense of real continuity. The graphics are state-of-the-art in its time, the sound is somewhat muffled due to the limitations of the cartridge consoles, but it is still capable of summing up to an enjoyable playthrough with its smooth, simple and addictive gameplay. The painted pictorial cutscenes between stages gives it a timeless, classic feel that keeps it a cut above its PC port. Another part of what makes this game great is how hard it can be. Easy mode is cake, and I've mastered it, but try it on the Jedi difficulty, and you're sure to understand the impossible odds a Rebel is up against. Anyone whose played this game when it first came out will find themselves re-invested should they pick it up again, and any newcomer may be surprised how much they enjoy this true console classic. I'd say it deserves a modern redux, but I don't trust "the mouse" with to make anything well without muffing it up with irrelevant "messages". Try it out, and May The Force Be With You!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
