Sliding around with early 5th-gen single Shadows of the Empire is a genuinely bad, clunky mess of fanfiction that is at times barely playable. Shadows of the Empire is a genuinely bad, clunky mess of fanfiction that is at times barely playable. Even less so if you have loved the N64 version: it will completely waste your good memories of the game. More generally, all platform phases are a real pain and induce useless frustration. To tell you how this works concretely: sometimes when you make a step (in any direction) on a non-horizontal surface, the character starts inexplicably drifing into that direction with nothing you can do but try to keep your calm while losing a precious life. To make things even worse, the handling of the terrain is terrible and will drastically increase the probability you fall off every single cliff there is in the game. The result of this is that you will constantly fall off cliffs accidently. Seriously, a mouse move should only control the aim, not the movements. Consequently, you have to accept that a very small move of your mouse will potentially throw you into the ravine. Nobody should look for excuses like "with a controller it's much better than with the keyboard !": how the hell can you not set the "Move" control ? You can rebind any other key, but not the "Move" one. All this, I could accept (since it was already the core of the gameplay on N64) if nothign of the following was true. You have one laser weapon which you will basically use all the time because the missiles and their fake live control are useless and never hit anything. The gameplay is completely outdated: you will spend most of your time dancing around the corner of a wall to maximize your killing potential on the enemies behind the corner and minimize the damage they can deal to you. It is basically the exact same game with a few lines of code to adapt it to support keyboard and controller play. No effort whatsoever was made to adapt the game. Star Wars universe, great music, side adventure to the episodes 4-5-6. Let me start by saying I played the N64 version when I was young and I loved it. It has nothing to do with the N64 from 1997 which is a masterpiece. This game My review is for the Steam version released a few years ago. My review is for the Steam version released a few years ago.
