Description:

Not a big fan of Episode I? Hungry for some good ol' original trilogy action? Well, X-Wing Alliance has exactly what you need. This game is the concluding chapter in the acclaimed X-Wing series from LucasArts, a collection of starfighter simulation games in which you get to take part in ferocious interstellar dogfights in the Star Wars universe. Like its predecessors, X-Wing Alliance is an impressive, addictive, and incredibly challenging game that will put all of your sci-fi piloting skills to the test. To help you get the most out of the game and overcome the seemingly insurmountable challenges that pop up throughout, Prima's guide offers support for everything from basic flying and dogfighting skills to complete ship descriptions. You'll also find an array of information on the many ships' systems you'll have to master (the energy allocation system, for example). Each of the game's 50 missions--including the climactic battle of Endor--is described in detail, both through a narrative and a down-and-dirty walkthrough. The book even includes a CD-ROM containing a new film room feature for the game, along with films of all 50 missions (which let you see how they should unfold). All in all, this is one valuable resource for any aspiring starfighter pilot. The Force may be with you, but this book could prove quite handy as well. --Mike Ryan
