This is a good game but unfortunately dosn't do the original Tie Fighter justice. I was expecting more.
User Rating: 7.3 | Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter PC
Tie fighter the collectors CD-ROM was one of the first games I purchased for my PC. It had a superb storyline, great gameplay, cool cut scenes (for it's day) and pretty much EVERY key on your keyboard was used for something not to mention it ws one of the best flight sims ever released. Although a pretty decent game X-Wing vs Tie fighter dosn't deliver half as much as it's predecessor did. X vs T has better graphics, sound and is some what modernised but dosn't have the storyline or depth that Tie fighter and X-Wing did. The missions in X vs T are just random missions and theirs not much involved with the campagins. Unlike Tie fighter this game boasts little to no stoyline and seems to focus more on multiplayer skirmishes. The campaigns are just pretty much 3 single missions in a row and leave a fair bit to be desired. The rank structure is pretty cool however and it's good to see that the Gun boats have returned. Thats pretty much it. Buy this game if you want to fly a few VISUALLY modernised missions, Dog fight with craft from the Star Wars universe. Unfortunately theres no secret order of the Emperor in this game. If you want a good storyline involving the Imperial Navy you will have to pull your old Windows 95 computer from out of your shed and re-intstall the original and the best Tie-Fighter.
