MS Dos: 1.5/5
Playstation: 2/5
One of the many games back in the 90s that rode on the bandwagon of using its FMV capability hard while putting playability as a secondary objective. Levels 1 and 2 are pretty straightforward rail shooter/cover shooter minigames, but the 3rd level- the Mining Tunnels - is absolute hell on earth.
Whoever designed the mining tunnels level needs to take a long look at themselves in the mirror and re-evaluate what they've done. Even after beating the level, I abandoned the game just because I was beyond frustrated with the game's controls.
After playing the PS1 version, the Mining Tunnels is less of a bullshit ride than the PC, but not by much. The Millenium Falcon seems like it's contained in a bubble and it's jerked around depending on where the FMV is currently. You'll still be thrown and bounced around like a pinball when the movie in the background starts to jerk its turns.
The difficulty setting adjusts how much the bubble gets wobbled around as you go through the tunnel. Putting it on "Easy" will make it tolerable, but the rest of the levels will be a breeze to get through. It might be worth it for your sanity if you desire to try this game.
