One of the first Star Wars games I really enjoyed. I think I prefer the OG port on the Nintendo 64, but for $6 this is plenty of entertainment. The controls on steam are wonky and it's fairly short when played on easy mode. The mechanics and graphics are obviously dated to hell, but put that aside for once and enjoy the Hoth battle, as well as shooting baddies and listening to them scream as they fall from a ledge. The IG-88 battle is still scary even to this day.

Game is still fun but really needs a remaster for more quality of life improvements as it's really outdated. This was the first 3D game I played ever

This does work on modern systems so ignore any reviews that say it doesn't. This game would benefit massively from a remake/remaster though cause the controls are difficult to say the least. Loved this on N64 and still better than anything Disney has made.

One of my all time favorite Star Wars games. Wild replaying it on the Steam Deck. 10/10.

You know all those third-person shooters you play nowadays? The ones that are all "cinematic" with seemingly obligatory vehicle sections? Yeah, you can thank this game for all that. Releasing in late 1996, this game is the blueprint for your average TPS today. Is it super smooth like all those new games? No. Is it an unplayable mess or too "old" to be good. Absolutely not. Whether you're a Star Wars fan or want to play a piece of gaming history, you cannot go wrong playing this game.
