THE FMV...WOW

User Rating: 9.6 | Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger PC
I have ALL game of that serie. I was working as a Vice-manager in a computer store and I remember taking the computer demo home with the game (I was able to convince my boss that showing this game on the computer would sell the computer faster) every saturday night at home, played Wing Commander all night saturday, all day Sunday, all night Sunday and then returning early at the store to re-install the computer before my boss came in.

The game play was fun. Fast paced combat, great graphic, everything to make you want to play one more mission. But what got me in that game was the story. I remember when Wing Commander III got out with its FMV, I played it a easy level, just to be able see the story unfold faster. "Luke skywalker" (mark Hamill) was great in his role and taking him throughout four games and see the evolution of the caracter...it was great. The treason of the forth game was good story telling.

I also remember seeing the graphics of the IV iteration on my, then super computer 485 DX66mhz and tell myself that FMV was the way of the future....

All games of that serie (with the exception of prophecy and priveteer) are in my hall of fame.
