Summary: Hypert great game
Review: This game is one of the coolest games I've ever played in my PC. The music editing is extraordinary and the detail of the ships is just great. You can actually drive ships that are simmilar to the millenium falcon and the Falcon itself. The storyline of this family is good, and you even have your e-mail account in this game with your own friends. By the way, there is a practice room where you can practice before fighting the Empire.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: horrible!
Review: This game was so confusing, its all expanded universe, you can't get past the first level without waiting for an hour, you never fly into the death star eather. I gave this game away for 5$. Its a total rip off. You don't know what you are doing. Its stupid. don't buy it, you will hate it.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A Good Star Wars Game
Review: This is not the most challenging game I've ever had but this game is good for the star wars fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lucas- Pl.ease give us add-ons
Review: This is the game that X-wing always wanted to be. The graphics and storyline are intense, with incredible flight engine and graphics options. Looks and feels like you're in the cockpit of the x-wing or Falcon. The only problem with Alliance is that it leaves the storyline incomplete. Lucas needs to build a sequel and tell the rest of the story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some Great Space Action!
Review: This is yet another excellent installment in the x-wing series, and is a great example of where action games in general are going. One of the aspects I found most interesting about this game is that there's an actually story with characters to follow, which makes missions a lot more fun since you know where, why, and how you are where you are.

When compared with the original x-wing, I'd have to say this one is better. Don't get me wrong; I think that x-wing is a classic, but its time is over. I can remember when I couldn't even BELIEVE that they could actually have a 3D model (even if it was just a few boxy squares) of an Imperial Star Destroyer! Now, in x-wing alliance, you get to go up against Darth Vader's (shudder!) super Star Destroyer the "Executor", the same shop which tailed Han Solo in "The Empire Strikes Back". Incredible detail!

The space chatter is also great, with some very witty lines throughout. When you accomplish your mission objectives, you almost feel like shouting a "yahoo! " yourself.

This is a another great Lucasarts game that no Star Wars fan came miss. Buy it now!

Summary: wow
Review: Two words: buy it! Once you see the first mission you will never want to go away! I was impressed a to hear Aeron and Emkay chat while we were heading for the hyperspace jump point! Its like Half Life, telling you the story while you are playing!

And the graphics.... and the ships........ oh wow!

Summary: good game for the fast computer
Review: When I first heard about X-wing Alliance, I thought it was just going to be a cheap attempt to drag out the X-wing franchise. But this is an awesome game. Unlike TIE fighter, the gameplay experience has really been increased from the original X-wing in this game. Flying freighter-craft truly is different from flying starfighters - if you try to fly it like an X-wing, you're as good as dead. Also, comapred to pirate starfighters, I could understand why TIE fighters were considered so deadly, a distinction I didn't really get in the original X-wing.

Most importantly, though, when playing this game I truely felt I was in the SW universe. For example, in one early mission during a bacta transfer between the Azzameens and a shady group of pirates I really felt like I was in one of Timothy Zahn's novels. Also, the shuddering of the ships and the multiple explosive and cha-cha-chas of the TIE fighter's laser cannons went a long way towards enhancing the flying experience. The same goes for the planets images during combat, as well as the immensity of some of the space stations.

A couple minor criticisms: the cutscenes don't seem very relevent/ Also, the "big finale" against the Death Star seems to just have been thrown in, and was somewhat of a disappointment. Finally, most of the levels were a little easy - I beat most of them on one try with the setting on hard. I was hoping for a bigger progression in difficulty as the game increased. The Battle of Endor in particular I was hoping would be more fierce.

Overall, however, this is a great game, with an awesome multiplayer platform. The real forte, however, is the single player - this game has great replayability. I would recommend it to anyone. I even enjoyed it more than Rogue Squadron or Rebel Assault and maybe even Jedi Knight.
