User Rating: 9.5 | Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire N64
Intro:
Taking place between Star Wars episode V and VI, you take control of a new character Dash Render and his adventures from earth and space.

Game play:
The difficulty modes are: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Jedi. There will be little changes after picking one of these difficulties. There's some good enemies and boss battles. One flaw in this game is Dash's movement. On the Dash levels only, sometimes he slips off a platform while jumping to another platform. But in the end, Shadows of the Empire's game play is just right.

Graphics:
Nice 64-bit graphics. The character models on Dash and everybody else looks realistic. The level layout and design is perfect and well built. The visual effects are great as well.

Music and Sound:
Nice soundtrack score in the game. The sound effects are great as well.

Controls:
Joystick for moving. A for jumping. B for hitting. D-pad and Yellow buttons for switching camera angles.

Lasting Appeal:
Shadows of the Empire is fun, challenging, and revolutionary. 9 out of 10.
