Rating: Summary: The Best Game Ever Made! Review: Dark Forces is a first person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. Unfortunately, time and tide have robbed the game of its...um...force. As Kyle Katarn, you enter and navigate various imperial installations, solve puzzles, and make life unpleasant for countless stormtroopers. You do this in order to amass clues about a new imperial weapon - the Dark Trooper, before setting out to combat the trooper on his home turf. Your journeys will take you to varios settings (ice planets; volcanic planets; fully urbanized planets; space stations and the Arc Hammer that is home to the Dark Trooper).Many editions include a playable 3-level demo of DF's sequel - Jedi Knight. Whatever you do, DON'T PLAY IT. Unless your computer is too lame to really play JK (topping out at about 90Mhz) JK's superior game play, graphics and sound will forever spoil you for the older game. The head and body movements of DF are stilted, artificial, and hard to coordinate; while the locations and characters look cartoonish. And that would be a shame. While DF is a creature of another age (the early 1990's) it's a lot of fun.

Rating: Summary: Help For Dark Forces Review: Dark Forces is one of the best games I have ever played some levels are very confusing such as Jabba's ship, the detention facility, or the research facility. The way to beat the detention facility is in the elevators. Run from the dark troopers is okay but cheats will work wonders. Lapostal-all weapons full ammo & powerups lamaxout-maxout on all items larandy-weapon super charge or "machine gun mode" also temporarily doubles ammunition. launlock-full inventory laredlite-freeze enemies lapogo-diable height checking.. lets you climb certain walls. lacds-map supermode ladata-coordinate informination labug-insect mode: fit into small places launlock-accessories more to come.

Rating: Summary: i really miss this game Review: Dark Forces is one of the best games I have ever played. Even though the game is 5 years old and the graphics are admittedly dated the actual gameplay and play value are still very fresh. The game is set in the popular Star Wars universe where you, as Kyle Katarn must complete numerous missions for the Rebel Alliance including stealing the Death star plans and blowing up an Imperial Star Destroyer. The look and feel of the game is excellent and really draws you into the atmosphere of the game complete with a good midi score. Where this surpasses Doom is it's portral of the Star Wars universe and it's on-going storyline which keeps bringing you back for more. And with fan produced levels the entertainment value is infinite.

Rating: Summary: The Best Game Ever Made! Review: I found out about this game by playing a demo in 1996. Not to long ago I bought it. Sure the graphics woudn't be called good today but their okay. Infact I think Dark Force's enimies are clearer than in Jedi Knight (which stinks). I coudn't stop playing it. I would recomend this game to any Star Wars fans. Here are some tips: 1. Blow up walls with cracks. 2. Watch the floor for mines. 3. Run around while fighting complete Dark Troopers. 4. Shoot PGUs that are far from you and they might hit some enimies you can't see. Here are some cheat codes. type them in while playing. lapostal - full health, all weapons, and full ammo lamaxout - all items laimlame - invencibility labug - fit into small places For more codes go to gamesages.com
Rating: Summary: Good for its time Review: I loved this game the second i started playing it. Its probably now considered bad graphics, but the gameplay is still as good as any others. The weopons and accesories are great. The best thing is that there are often puzzles to solve and the detail of the levels are great
Rating: Summary: i really miss this game Review: I really miss this game, he was sooooo fun to play with, i gave him walks, too.
Rating: Summary: Good for anybody who can look past the graphics. Review: I'll admit, the first time I played this game was nearly three years ago, and I'll also admit it was fun. The graphics were good, if you liked paper cutout dolls walking towards you and shooting. However, the gameplay was fantastic. It was one of the first 3D adventure/action game that I had played in my life, and it blew me away. So, if you want a good gaming experience, and can see past the early graphics, then buy this game. If you have to have good graphics in a game with a good storyline and all that jazz, then get the sequal to this game, which is one of the best there is.
Rating: Summary: The best first person stinker ever invented! Review: Just horrible. The first level is somewhat plausible (considering it's inconsistent with the story), but afterwards, there is no unifying level theme, little to no varying of enviromental textures, and just no fun to play. For example, in the Weapons Testing lab level, there were no testing labs, no scientists, and no way this thing could be a testing base. In the future, when you see Lucasfilms make anything besides a flight sim or an adventure game, run as fast as you can!
