Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Room for improvement, but an overall good game.
For the time, the graphics were top notch. It included some 3D gameplay when over 98% of games were side-scrollers. The gameplay is a lot like Castlevania and Contra with a little bit of Starfox. The controls remind me of Castlevania too. They could've made them a little smoother. I don't like having to start all over again just because I miscalculate a jump and fall into the lava. Which brings me to the "Inside Sandcrawler" stage. Why is that one so much harder than the levels that come after? The stage is like a canker on the roof of my mouth. The "Outside Sandcrawler" doesn't bother me too much, but it does suck if you fall... if you fall, you have to climb that forsaken thing all over again. It gets better after that. You get to play as Han or Chewy, you get a lightsaber, you fight startroopers, and there's a tie fighter/death star battle at the end. The music's great. It sounds exactly like the movie, which I think was pretty new at the time. Before that, it was just simplified 8 or 16 bit music. Overall it's pretty fun. It's only about 4 bucks for a used game, so what can you lose? You can barely get coffee at 4 bucks anymore.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - With the exception of the Sandcrawler level, this game rocks.
This is definetly the start of something good. The two later Super Star Wars games were a lot more forgiving than this title, simply because the "Inside the Sandcrawler" stage is extremely difficult, due to difficult enemies and more difficult jumps ( it wouldn't surprise me if Luke's 'double jump' in the later games came after negative feedback here). If you manage to get past the sandcrawler stage, you're in for a very fun game, particularly when you're allowed to choose characters- Luke, Han or Chewie. Perversely, that Sandcrawler stage is the hardest in the game- and it's the 4th level! I recommend this game for the patient, skilled gamer.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Start of a Good Video Game Adaptation Trilogy
Many movies that get turned into Video Games do not fair well. More often than not they don't follow the movies very well at all or they simply fail at having decent gameplay. Sometimes even both. The Super Star Wars trilogy on the Super Nintendo has decent gameplay. They don't follow the movies to a tee (especially the first game) but they're good games nonetheless that many gamers are destined to like.

The game begins on the Dune Sea where you'll play as Luke Skywalker. You begin the game with a simple blaster and can power it up through the level. The first power up gives you flame. Afterwards you can power the blaster up to Heat Seekers, Rapid Ion and Plasma. You can't carry all five blasters at the same time however. They stack on one another. There are fifteen levels in Super Star Wars and as the game progresses so will the gameplay. Eventually Luke will be able to use a lightsaber and eventually you'll get to use Han and Chewbacca.

Super Star Wars is not an easy game, however. While no where near as difficult as "The Empire Strikes Back" the game provides a good challenge nonetheless. Many times you'll find yourself suffering from cheap deaths. Some levels are also populated with dangers that will kill you in one hit. To compensate the game has difficulty levels. Easy, Brave and Jedi. All of which are fairly challenging.

In terms of graphics, Super Star Wars looks very good for a video game released in 1992. There are a few moments of slowdown while playing and a few moments where certain aspects of the environment will be clipped, but nonetheless the levels are very detailed. Even better is the music in the game which sounds very close to the movie, only sixteen bit. If anything, the only big problem with the music is that there isn't much of a soundtrack to it. Many levels, especially in the later half of the game, make the same music over and over again.

Super Star Wars is still a brilliant game for its time. Gamers looking for a challenge and nostalgia will be happy to play this.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best And Still going...
The Empire Stikes Back is a sweet game. In this game you get to play Princess liea, wich is cool. and you get to face darth vader for the first time. This is a sweet game. any Star Wars fans should own it.
