Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for Nintendo 64

Pros: Great graphics; awesome sound effects! Interesting sideplot off of the Star Wars story
Cons: Extremely stiff controls; unbelievably difficult at times.

Nothing like taking a universally acclaimed series such as the Star Wars Trilogy and throwing in a side plot to make a video game. That is just what Shadows of the Empire did, and it has become one of the most memorable games to hit the...

Pros: The piloting levels, the sound
Cons: The rest of it is really quite unexceptional and frustrating

The Star Wars franchise and videogames are a frustrating combination. While George Lucas’ tale of a Galaxy Far, Far Away has inspired some thoroughly fantastic videogames, for every K nights of the Old ...

Pros: Level variety, story, graphics, sound samples
Cons: I wish there were more levels

Preface


I am not one of those freaks that hangs out in front of the theatre for a week dressed up like a pathetic version of some character from the movie, but I do like the Star Wars saga. I have not read the books, so in that respect...

Pros: Many different kinds of levels, big cheat code, great weapons and items.
Cons: No lightsabers, no Darth Vader, AI is low, code is hard to pull off.

This game shows why Star Wars is so popular. I'm not a fan myself, but this game is lovable without having to buy everything of Star Wars. Shadows of the Empire takes place before Return of the Jedi and before The Empire Strikes Back, but there has...

Pros: Very fun, cool codes, good graphics, good storyline
Cons: Needs a multiplayer mode, little replay value once beaten on every difficulty

This game is very good, considering that it's a Star Wars game not based on any movie, so you don't know what to expect, and that it has different types of levels so it doesnt get repetitive. You play as former smuggler Dash Rendar, and you play...

Pros: Graphics pretty good, excellent environments, get to kill Wompas!
Cons: Way too easy, low replayability, NO multiplayer.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire follows the tale of a mercenary captain named Dash Rendar. The story takes place in the time period spanning from the beginning of 'The Empire Strikes Back' to sometime during or after 'Return of the Jedi'. As Dash,...

Pros: good action good robots
Cons: in over the shoulder mode, runs too slow. a little too hard sometimes

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Nintendo 64)
Review by Gabriel Ramuglia

This game takes place during the time of the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. You are Dash Rendar and you and your companion Leebo are working against...

Pros: I love the colors in this and the fact that theres a number of different modes of gameplay throughout the levels
Cons: graphics are kinda weak.replay value is low too

Shadows of the Empire is based on the book of the same name,and takes place between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi".This was one of the first games originally released for the N64.It was good then and it's still...

Pros: It is fun
Cons: It is really hard

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire is a pretty good game. I think that it is a little too hard. I used to play it a fair amount, but don't really play it any more. I like the levels where you are in a plane. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, you can be...

Pros: Not set during the Star Wars movies
Cons: Can get quite boring after a while

This game so perfectly captures the feel of the Star Wars movies, it's easy to forget that what you're seeing is not actually from the movies.

The timeframe of the movie is set between The Empire Strike Back and Return Of The Jedi. You play...

Pros: Fun storyline, fun game, cool characters
Cons: not as good as tomb raider control-wise

People often say while playing this game: "Well, it's just not as good as tomb Raider. the controls aren't as tight and it's tougher to aim." Plus the fact that you have to stare at Dash Rendar's butt instead of lara's aint too appealing,...

Pros: Cool levels, good control, good graphics
Cons: limited replay value

A tribute to the Star Wars name, SOTE is a kickin game. You will control Dash Rendar thru many levels from flying snowspeeders to navigating the sewers under Prince Xixors Palace. With good control and variable views it is easy to control. The enemies...

Pros: N64 Classic
Cons: "ancient"

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a pretty old game, but it still has what it takes to be a favorite of game fanatics. It ranks quite high on my list, in the Nintendo 64 category. In fact I can't think of a bad thing about it besides the fact that it...

Pros: Tons of different types of levels
Cons: Not enough of certain level types

This game has it all for Star Wars fans. You get to fly in space battles. You get to fight your way through bounty-hunter infested planets. You get to battle your way out of imperial bases. In fact, the only thing this game DOESN'T have for Star Wars...

Pros: good fun game
Cons: lacks the depth that jedi knight has

This game was one of the first games to come out for Nintendo 64 but was not the last Starwars game for this system but it should have been. I am getting so sick of the starwars stuff. After Episode 1 was released starwars lost all credit with me....
