Among the greatest of all time.
The graphics, first of all, are a little sub par. They can be a bit blocky, but when you're in the heat of a battle you barely even notice. If you’ve been raised to expect state-of-the-art graphics in today’s gaming reality, then look somewhere else. The only other negative aspect is that the story tends to drag on in certain areas. This is particularly true towards the end, as you feel that the designers added the last missions just to fill in the space necessary to lead up to Endor.
Overall, though, the game earns a 10. Why? Even if the story drags on a bit, and the graphics are a little outdated, this game still delivers several years after it was released. This is a game that you’ll probably be playing until 3 in the morning, and you won’t even care that you’re up that late. Why won’t you? Because it’s that good of a game. Immersive, fun, exciting, and incredible. It trumps practically every other flight combat simulator (space or no). Now all we need is a modern sequel...
