Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A vehicular combat game set "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away," Star Wars Demolition is yet another embarrassingly mediocre title based on the premier sci-fi movie series. A mishmash of elements from the various Star Wars films, the laughably implausible premise here allows for disparate combatants (Boba Fett, a piloted podracer, and a Rancor, to name a few) to fight in arenas that range from inappropriate (e.g., the swampy Dagobah) to impossible (e.g., the surface of the Death Star II).

It's a shame that the gameplay in Star Wars Demolition isn't even remotely as imaginative as its "what if?" fanboy scenario, as all you've got here is an uninspired regurgitation of similar games (like Vigilante 8), with clunky controls tossed in for bad measure.

Whatever amusement one can find in Star Wars Demolition wears thin really fast, making this disc one really expensive Star Wars-themed drink coaster.--Joe Hon

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Why was it criticized so much?
I don't agree with some of the cons. The controls were good. I learned them in a day, and in hunt-a-droid, I beat 17 droids. The sound and graphics are fantastic! I agree with that.

I bought this cause I'm a Star Wars fan, it was cheap, and it looked fun. I was right! I played a one player game, soon, we brought another controller, I was playing against my brother, and it was even more fun!

I don't care if more than half of the people on earth criticize this game. It's full of adrenaline-pumping excitement! Buy this now!!!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Did they send me the wrong game this is vigelanty 8
Gimme a break. This game was fun the first time I played it when it was called vigelanty 8. No imagination needed for these programers change a few lines in the code to replace the automobiles with Star Wars vehicles and send it out. Thanks for nothing.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE BEST GAME EVER!!
This is the best game ever. I bought it and wasn't excepecting to much, but to my surprise when I first played it I was amazed. The graphics and gameplay were the best. The controlls were easy to master. The levels in it were the bomb. They are interactive, like in this one these giant robots are walking around and they shoot at you. The characters they have in this game are the bomb and so are the veichles. Each veichle has its own weapons and there are also weapons you can pick up will playing. The enimies are pretty good they'll gain up on you and make you run. My friend and I were playing the game for about 3 hours and it felt like 10 minutes. If you are playing two players you can be on the same team doing anything in the game. My favorite veichle is the speeder bike. OH, another thing I found intresting was when you hit a guy with a missile or laser (or whatever) they like explode and sizzle and start on fire so the damage looks real unlike other corney games. This game is good for all ages except for some of the violence. OH, and if you liked the Vilgilante 8s you'll love this game.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Lots of fun that doesn't last
I don't own a DreamCast, and don't play many console video games. But my brother recently did get this game for his DreamCast, and being a Star Wars fanatic I decided to give it a try.

At first I was terribly excited. A high quality, exciting opening cutscene, plenty of gameplay options, a variety of characters, some known and some new, to play as...what more could you ask. So I started playing. There are four play modes: Hunt-a-droid, in which you run around trying to kill as many droids as possible within three minutes, battle, in which you face off against up to four opponents for one round, high-stakes in which you face off against one opponent and win lots of money, and then the main game -- tournament mode, where you go through four rounds for each character, destroying enemies and unlocking the more powerful vehicles. There are a cool selection of power-ups, guns, etc..., and the graphics look nice (except for some draw-in distance issues). The sound is also great. But the vehicles aren't that well balanced, and some of the arenas pop up over and over while others are rarely selected by the computer.

This game was very addictive for a few days. I beat the tournaments, unlocked all the secret characters, made and broke high scores -- and by the third day of gameplay I was bored out of my mind. There was no where farther to go with this game. I might play it occasionally, but while it's fun and quick, it's simply not worth the money simply to shelve it after a few days of gameplay.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Game Play is TERRIBLE - Disappointing
This game has some of the worst game play action I have seen in a long time. Although the quality of Graphics and Sound are good, the quality of this game is not what you would expect to play on a new 128-bit system - more like back in the fist Nintendo 8-bit days. You will get sick of this one real quick. Don't listen to the hype of those pumping this one - there is no way you'll lose hours of sleep.
