I remember buying this game on release. No I didn't wait in a queue for weeks. I noticed it in a Star Wars section at a local games shop and decided to give it a try. This game uses the same engine as The Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures. This game is superior though, well better, but it's not a game that will impress you with it's graphics or sound.

GAMEPLAY 7/10

Unlike a lot of games, there isn't really a point to Yoda Stories. I really believe that this isn't a game you are meant to sit and complete in one or two sittings. It's a game to open up when bored, waiting for something to download or when avoiding work. Theres a feature to hide the window then your boss is near! Every game will start with Luke arriving on Dagobah, you must first find Yoda, he isn't always in the one place though, sometimes beside a random shrub or inside his hut. He will tell you your mission, give you one object which will help you on your quest. You will then fly to a certain planet, again not always the same planet depending on the mission! You can choose the amount of screeens in options, it's usually 100. You move from screen to screen. You can find a locator (map) within one screen of where you land, it's usually under a rock or a certain someone will be carrying it. To progress in the game, the player has to make errands, such as finding a key, or an object, until he reaches the final puzzle. The force I hear you ask? It is in this game, you can meet the ghost of obi wan who will grant you power, it is useful to stop enemies in their tracks or to move an object. You have a lightsaber to help you deal with your enemies, this could be tusken raiders, stormtroopers or even animals. Thermal Detonators and Blasters can also be used, against you too! Luke CAN die in this game, thats where medipacks and rations come in handy. So whats the point in playing? well you do gain somethings, in the fifth game you will duel Darth Vader himself, if you win you will now carry a green saber. After ten you will gain the power of the force, you will no longer need to sense a disturbance and require the help of obi wan. Then finally after fifteen games you will gain "Spirit Heart", which is a second life that will be useful if you have no health kits left!

GRAPHICS 7/10

They definetly aren't amazing. They are as good as you require from a game like this. It's very cartoonish which is good most times, most maps kind of look the same, except with the basic colour of the terrain, sand, ice or forest. Nothing much else to say here

SOUND 4/10

The only sound here is the waving of your lightsaber, certain themes from Star Wars which appear at certain times for a few moments, such as feeling a disturbance. There is no speech, just comic like text boxes.

VALUE 7/10

If you can find it, it's definetly worth a look. Don't expect it to be an epic 30hour game. You will most likely play it at certain times and have some fun. When it comes to replay value I really don't know what to say, you will probably never complete it, you will complete some missions a couple of times and then get a new mission, just depends. You don't really need to be a die hard, no one is kidding themselves saying this is a classic, it's just a small fun game.

OVERALL 7.0/10

Quite a high score, I thought it was unfair to give this a "fair" rating. It definetly is a likeable game, instead of playing solitaire, hearts or minesweeper, I played this instead. Nothing wrong with playing a fun game like this over those other tedious desktop games.
