I was so stoked when I saw the preview and articles regarding this successor to the old 1983 video game I still play at Pinballz. Well I got my opportunity to play it a couple times at Dave & Busters which was 15-16 credits a pop roughly $4/game for gold-card members. How did it go? The first mission entailing the famous Battle of Yavin went alright. The harder, second attempt fighting the Battle of Endor not so much. I wrecked the Falcon into the Death Star’s reactor.
The screens are fantastic but the game play was the issue. With all the computing power we have at our fingertips in the 21st Century, there’s no excuse to a game like this to be stuck on rails. You receive hints of which TIE fighters to go after yet you have no real control over the general direction you’re flying.
I think I’ll stick with the analog world via X-Wing and the new Armada tabletop games.
