The verdict
A short, chaotic Star Wars power fantasy with a great story and fun Force physics, held back by a crash-prone 30fps port, stunlocks and a hated Star Destroyer mission. Skip if you only have mouse and keyboard.
Great for
Star Wars fans and nostalgic players who want a short Force power fantasy and will use a controller and patches
Main risk
Buggy 30fps port with crashes, plus clunky stunlock combat and the Star Destroyer mission.
