Summary: a Masterpiece.
Review: I purchased this disc as part of one of the LucasArts Archives volumes a couple years back....this is as GOOD as gaming gets: Star Wars, good graphics, compellig gameplay, and cool storyline.I still liked X-wing better because it was more challenging and gripping, but TIE fighter is sure to satisfy more customers because all of the missions are actually beatable in under 100 attempts....

Summary: Outdated graphics...Outdated sound...Just Outdated!!
Review: I'd like to consider myself a Star Wars fan, so I was looking forward to getting this game. Even though, I was expecting "okay" graphics, I thought "it can't be that bad". But after watching the opening sequence, I have concluded that this is by far one of the worst Star Wars games, in regards to graphics, that I have ever seen. It was enough to turn me off completely and curse the day that I had bought the game. Even the music, one of the things that makes Star Wars "STAR WARS", is horrible. Forget the orchestra! You'd be lucky enough to get a synthesizer!! *Please note: this review is based on graphics and sound alone. I am still in the disappointment phase so I haven't really gotten into the storyline of the game. If you are a die hard Star Wars fan and can tolerate crappy graphics/sound, buy this game... at your own risk! If not, don't waste your time or money. In either case, you'd have more fun playing with the actual toys.

Summary: Great, but a better deal around the corner...
Review: It is a great game... with a wanna-be twisting plot line that kinda makes you feel a part of it all. Ok well the plotlines aren't the selling factor for this game. It is a great game to have and own if you are a star wars fan or just enjoy simple classics to pass the time and nothing as involving as other 1st person games like BattleZone or whatnot... it's also a great game to edit with a good deal of editing programs available. They programing for the game is really good and provides for a large number of possible effects and abilities, only limited by the 28 object/per battlefield rule. It is truly a classic, but if you want to see a better version of this, try the Lucas Arts compilation of Alliance, X-wing, X-wing vs. Tie-fighter flght school, and Tie-fighter all in one, with new graphics like Polygon Skins and expansions beyond teh 28 object rule. I myself have owned just about every version of Tie-fighter from the 3.5 Floppy version to the Collectors CD-rom DOS mode to the beefed X-Wing Trilogy (star wars and trilogies... gee). It is truly a good game with even more fun waiting in the editing fields. If you like Wingcommander, X-wing or anyother flightsiulator then this is one you can definitely have fun with.

Summary: A great game.
Review: The storylines and gameplay are excellent, almost enough so that the crude yet functional graphics can be ignored. The cut scenes are bad enough to be funny. I still consider it an all time favorite, but wish that LucasArts had released something a little more up to date.

Summary: Get rid of the "Assault Gunboat" and you've got a good game!
Review: There's some great game play involved in "Tie Fighter". If you loved "Star Wars" and would love to take part in it too, then this is a game for you. You can get some wonderful stella dog-fight action and have plenty of interesting missions to choose from supported by a not too imposing story line. My only complaint about it is that for far too many of the missions you have to use the "Assault Gunboat" which is basically a slow piece of junk with no fire power and weak shields. It doesn't even look like a Tie fighter and it's presence in the game is unnecessary! Whoever designed the game thought it would be really neat to have the "Assault Gunboat" in it, but it's actually really naff. Somewhat of a disappointment as it is almost impossible to do any of the missions without geting blown up. It would be much beter if you could decide for yourself what you want to use. Get rid of the "Assault Gunboat" and you've got a good game!

Summary: Great fun
Review: This game is great fun for the Star Wars fan who'd rather be on the bad guys' side. The voices are generally excellent, you truly feel a part of the Empire. Additional play can be gotten from this game by downloading custom battles from the net after you have finished the included ones. Join the Empire!

Summary: Serve The Emperor
Review: This game is the best space simulator I have played. When I compare it to it's predecessor X-Wing, I see how great it is. The graphics, music, and gameplay are all better, and you fly seven ships instead of four. There are dozens of new ships in game, allowing for greater variety. Plus, no game is as dedicated to serving the Empire and Empire only as is TIE Fighter. When I played X-Wing, I thought was doing something noble and good. I see now how wrong I was.
