The story that should have been a movie
Great gameplay and just a lot of fun seeing all these classic characters from a new angle, and the protagonist is one of the more memorable. Very and excitingly fills in the plot between empire and Jedi. The book is more in depth than the game clearly, but it still does a good job telling us about what was up in those months.Read full review

A true console classic, and a great Star Wars game
A great game for any retro-gamer or true Star Wars fan, Shadows of the Empire is an exemplar of LucasArts' dedication to delivering quality games set in the universe we fell in love with. Any fan delving beyond the Trilogy into the Expanded Universe (the true SW canon), will notice certain consistencies of visuals, sounds and story elements from this game to its PC predecessors, giving it a sense of real continuity.
The graphics are state-of-the-art in its time, the sound is somewhat muffled due to the limitations of the cartridge consoles, but it is still capable of summing up to an enjoyable playthrough with its smooth, simple and addictive gameplay. The painted pictorial cutscenes between stages gives it a timeless, classic feel that keeps it a cut above its PC port.
Another part of what makes this game great is how hard it can be. Easy mode is cake, and I've mastered it, but try it on the Jedi difficulty, and you're sure to understand the impossible odds a Rebel is up against.
Anyone whose played this game when it first came out will find themselves re-invested should they pick it up again, and any newcomer may be surprised how much they enjoy this true console classic. I'd say it deserves a modern redux, but I don't trust "the mouse" with to make anything well without muffing it up with irrelevant "messages".
Try it out, and May The Force Be With You!Read full review

Excellent Game
This is a pretty good star wars game for N64. In my opinion, It is pretty entertaining, despite its age.
