Which version do you mean? I personally prefer the Mega Drive/Genesis version more. Great game with a great soundtrack imo.
I had the Genesis but never beat it as a kid. I should go back now And beat it.
The cover art for the game was awesome

Mine was Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for the Nintendo 64.
The best way I can describe this game is as being utterly nonsensical. It was part of a massive (and largely forgotten) multimedia initiative where LucasFilm wanted to tell a Star Wars story in as many different avenues as possible without making an actual film. There were trading cards, comic books, novelizations, and eventually this video game. I think the game must have assumed you were familiar with the story because it's basically lacking any connective tissue whatsoever.
It also didn't help that, as a kid, I struggled with 3D video games.
I never understood what my objectives or missions were. I never knew how to use the controls. A level would begin and I would just start walking, or driving, or flying, or whatever the engine for that particular level asked me to do. The game was a third person shooter, but you could also play it in first person. Sometimes it was a platformer. Sometimes is was a racer. I remember playing the game for hours at a time being stuck in one single level because I had no idea what to do. I would just open doors and press the action button and look for anything to interact with. I would pick up a new weapon and it would be awful and I'd have to kill myself on purpose because the new weapon replaced my default one.
I fully admit that part of my problem was not understanding how to play, but I did revisit the game when I was older and couldn't believe how flippant it was with its story and instruction. All that's really clear is that you are a Star Wars Guy and you are in a Star Wars Place. Figure out the rest yourself! Apparently the game can be completed quite easily in two hours. Maybe I just sucked.
Rebel Assault 2 was unbelievably cool to me as a 6 year old who'd just been introduced to Star Wars. I have more nostalgia for it than the films.
And doubling down too! Ouch!
I have never heard anyone else speak about this game and i cant remember if it was janky or just amazing ...but I LOVVVVVEED this game as a kid. It had a really cool cover system (or so i thought) that made every shoot out like a gam of chicken
I find this extremely underrated as well. And the night theme. It's too bad you can't go back to the night :(
Oh boy I was so confused by them. Everything about playing then screamed for me they were bad. But I kept telling myself they couldn't be bad, they were Simpsons after all, I was sure they'd get better eventually, and I just want understanding them lol
I remember finishing the story mode in a really short button mashing session.Bloody Roar. I now think that game is bad, but as a kid it was awesome
I enjoyed this game quite a bit too. It had a cool replay feature where with different film grain filters and you could put whatever music you wanted over it that you had saved to your Xbox Hard Drive.
Was jank but had a lot of fun just going against my cousins in it.
I liked this game as well to an extent, but I always looked at it as inferior to the DKC games and not as good as Mario 64 which is an obvious statement now but was even apparent as a young kid. The weirder part is that my younger brothers and sisters really enjoyed the multiplayer vs deathmatch mode in the game. We'd play that for hours on end.If I played it now for the first time, I would see it very differently. It really is just so damn tedious looking back on it, and isn't fitting at all for how DK should be in 3d. DKC is all about crisp fun platforming and great pacing in every level. Not Giant, mostly barren worlds where you have to collect trillions of things.
FMV rail shooters don't really cut it anymore I suppose.Wait, the game was NOT good? In my mind it's an absolute cinematic masterpiece.
Courier Crisis was amazing. Loved it.I have no idea why, but I really loved playing Courier Crisis...
Bloody Roar. I now think that game is bad, but as a kid it was awesome
Battletoads
I could never beat the hoverbike level but I kept trying.
