An Ace Up The Sleeve For The X-Wing Series

by mickp Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 07 '01
Pros: Excellent graphics and gameplay. Strong story. Interesting new perspective of the Star Wars world.
Cons: Feels like ideas ran low for later missions.
Believe it or not, I never really gave the series of games which proceeded X-Wing Alliance the time of day. Something about them just looked a bit too Wing Commandery for my personal taste. So it came to pass that when I picked up a copy of...

X-Wing Alliance: Know Where I Can Get A Cheap R-2 Unit?

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 08 '00
Pros: Nice flight dynamics, good graphics, and bottom line...its Star Wars, baby.
Cons: Some annoying problems with clipping, racing mode is LAME!, the in-mission updates are deceiving, and they haven't fixed the bad AI problems of past X-Wing games.
Once Upon A Time, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

Well, it's the same galaxy, but this time you play someone different (Ace Azzameen), and you have different friends and foes...at the beginning. Then you get swept up into the fray and...

X-W Alliance: May the Force be in Your CDROM

by Daystorm , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Authentic sound effects, a terrific storyline and great voice actors... authentic vehicles and the opportunity to fly lots of them
Cons: Graphics are a bit chunky and jerky, terrible backgrounds.
The first time I saw Star Wars at the ripe young age of seven, it swept me into its epic storyline and amazing action sequences. My brother and I used to (don't laugh, I'm putting myself out on a limb, here) pretend that we were Han Solo and Luke...

Got to love Star Wars

by caillin , Mar 17 '01
Pros: Fantastic graphics and sound. Brings you right into the Star Wars universe.
Cons: None.
When I first heard about this game on a website I was determined to buy it. My first ever computer games on VGA graphics was X-wing and Tie-fighter. I loved both of these so I was hoping to love this new game as well. My first empressions of X-Wing...

Ever wanted to pilot an X-Wing?

by kyuushu , Jan 03 '01
Pros: Tight, fast gameplay, easy-to-use mission creator
Cons: Some missions in story mode are too difficult
X-Wing Alliance puts you in the middle of massive space battles against TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers, and even the Death Star itself!

GAMEPLAY: In X-Wing Alliance, you will engage the Empire's fighters and Star Destroyers in space combat....

Red 5. Standing by.

by Brood_McEto , Mar 13 '00
Pros: new ships, new tactics, great graphics, sound, and gameplay
Cons: some missions a bit tough
Being a Star Wars fan, I bought this game the day it came out. My computer didn't meet the minimum requirements, but that didn't stop me. I took it home, knowing that it wouldn't work on my computer until I upgraded it.

I installed it onto my...

by mybag1476 , Apr 18 '00
Pros: Graphics, Sound, Atmosphere... almost everyting

Its a time of Civil War. You are a part of a family-run shipping company. Your father finally decides you are ready for missions. With the Empire breathing down your neck and an evil rival business man trying to ruin your company, are you ready to take...

Red 5- You've got a bandit on your tail!

by starrion , Apr 09 '00
Pros: Outstanding gameplay, no real bugs, great graphics and storyline
Cons: Repetitive in-flight messages (very minor)
Let me start off by saying that I have bought all of the other X-wing games, and I got this one as soon as it hit the shelves. I wasn't disappointed. As with the other titles, the storyline is linear and the demands on the pilot get progressively...

You're playing lead role in the best movie ever made!

by KFC_COLONEL , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Amazing graphics and sound (Especially the music!)
Cons: The last levels seem unfinished
This is the best game ever made. You are in a movie that was never made, but the drama of this film could only be told through sheer interactivity to the point to where you're situation is the plot. Playing this epic is not describable, but I will do...

It's Tough to Find More Gaming in a Single Title

by skadar , Sep 24 '99
Pros: Tons of Gaming Goodness, Great Single Player and Multiplayer
Cons: Are there any?
I'm a long time fan of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter LucasArts series. Each successive iteration seems to be best than the rest (with the exception of one).

The original X-Wing was a solid game that could provide weeks of fantastic gaming. It...

5 Years after Tie-Fighter and this?

by pax256 , Jun 01 '00
Pros: Some good first missions. About good first half.
Cons: gets more and more bug riddled and overly difficult after about half the game is played.
The original Tie Fighter If I remember well was seen as very hard after a certain point in the game. I remember Totally Games also releasing a patch for addressing the issue. Now you'd think after 5 years they'd learn their lesson. So I put my name down...

Can you destroy the Death Star?

by Bouv , Apr 05 '00
Pros: great graphics, gameplay!
Cons: final mission very hard
I have been a longtime Star Wars fan and when I saw the orginal X-Wing game back in the early 1990's I just picked it up and fell in love with it. I own all the flight sims x-wing games, and I must say X-Wing Alliance goes right up there along side the...

One of the best games I'll ever play!

by miles78 , Dec 26 '99
Pros: Great Gameplay, Graphics, Controls, Characters actually talk
Cons: Requires a decent PC, and a lot of memory
This is one of my favorite games. I just got it at Christmas this year from my parents (I am a serious gamer) and I already love the game. The storyline is very good, and the fact that people actually talk in the game makes me tingle inside (I hate just...

A strong ally it is....

by Chrisdgo , Jun 14 '00
Pros: Graphics, sound, play, story, price
Cons: None that I can think of
X Wing Alliance is by far the best of the first person combat simulators that Lucas Arts has developed. With a story-line that follows parallel to the movie plot-line, X-Wing Alliance gives us a chance to follow one of two story-lines. The first, to...

Great Simulator

by Night4554 , Sep 02 '00
Pros: Gameplay, Controls
Cons: Graphics
This game has it all. Missions that are hard but not impossible. And the simulator! Oh Yeah! It lets you play as any fighter craft (or with the help of a small insignificant hack all ships including capital ships like the Super Star Destroyer) and...
