I migliori videogiochi di Star Wars, Classificato – Switch e sistemi Nintendo

An isometric platformer that takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, you control the petulant young Skywalker in this stodgy action game. Considering the platform it’s on, the game looks and sounds okay. Beyond that, anche se, it’s dull, repetitive and so s-l-o-w. Anakin, you’re breaking our heart.

With passable animation and audio (especially considering the system) and boring, finicky platforming, Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles falls into a regretfully familiar pattern of portable Star Wars games. It’s not as hateful as some, and it’s a little faster-paced than New Droid Army, but it’s a similar story. Perhaps developer HotGen was trying to faithfully capture the excitement of The Phantom Menace‘s trade disputes, in which case job done. Some might call the non-canon blue lightsaber wielded by Mace Windu on the cover unforgivable, but we were too bored to care.

Anyone who’s only ever played Star Wars games on a Game Boy deserves your pity. Retro Nintendo portables had a lot of things going for them, but a high midi-chlorian count wasn’t one of them.

Flight of the Falcon is one of the very worst Star Wars games ever because it’s got Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon on the cover — the two coolest things in the Star Wars universe — and it sullies their good names. As with all terrible Star Wars games, the iconography fools you into thinking ‘ah, it can’t be that Pokémon GO Aggiungendo il gen!', but our review conclusion sums this up perfectly: “Flight of the Falcon is a very bad game. As such, you should not play it. However cool the screenshots look, however promising the premise sounds, just remember that the Force is not with this one in any way, shape or form.”

Han, mah boogie, you deserved better.

You have to remember that while Yoda is a beloved character, this game came before we’d ever seen him wield a lightsaber in what is easily the best scene in Attack of the Clones. Despite the name, in Yoda Stories you control Luke Skywalker in a top-down adventure as he chops snakes in two with his laser sword. How bad can that essere?…

Really quite bad, si scopre. ‘Sedate’ is too generous a word, and the whole game is a technical embarrassment. It’s tempting to blame the hardware, but then you look at Awakening di Link and see what might have been. Link’s Awakening this ain’t. Poodoo, plain and simple.

Opportunamente, forse, the weakest movie in the saga got one of the weakest Star Wars games ever. Normally we’d caveat a statement like that with ‘arguably’, ma Episode II is inescapably pants in parts (except for Mace Windu’s general badassery and that Yoda bit at the end — we remember quite liking that).

The tie-in GBA game is a turgid side-scrolling beat ’em up that lacks the artistic polish even the dullest Star Wars games bring to the table. Coarse, rough, and irritating, anzi.

Another one quick to tick the ‘dull’ and ‘repetitive’ scatole, if you think the isometric adventures on the GBA were tough going on the eyes, Obi-Wan’s Adventures takes that style of game back a console generation in an ‘adventure’ set concurrently against the events of Episode 1. Non è awful, just ugly and entirely pedestrian.

A relatively ho-hum 8-bit platformer where you play as young Skywalker battling through variations of the locations from the movie, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back could not be more average. For kids desperate to play as hero Luke, it was passable filler but no more.

A Game Boy version also exists, but if you’re gagging to play through the best film of the saga in video game form, you’re much better off going with the 16-bit ‘Super’ iteration. Indeed, LucasArts didn’t even bother with an 8-bit Return of the Jedi — the developer simply jumped generations and started afresh with Super Guerre Stellari sul SNES.

This is a real shame. The irony is that Aspyr has done a nice job with remastering the visuals in both games here, and we enjoyed seeing the results. But the reality is that these games often feel old, they’re extremely buggy, and the online play is hit-and-miss. This should have been a slam dunk. Invece, giocando Star Wars: Collezione classica di Battlefront made us feel sad. If Aspyr can fix the slew of technical issues (e the updates are coming, lentamente), this might one day be worth picking up on Switch. Until that happens, anche se, playing this makes you want to go home and rethink your life.

Another platformer. la realtà è che il Pinchcliffe Grand Prix è in realtà un grosso problema in alcune parti del mondo, it did a decent job of providing some variety and touching on the main characters and locations of the movie, but it’s pretty unmemorable (and unforgiving).

The token Game Boy version upped the difficulty as it reduced screen real estate, but possibly the most interesting of the 8-bit versions is the entirely different and earlier Famicom game developed by Namco in 1987. ‘Interesting’ because it’s not afraid of deviating significantly from the source material and having Darth Vader turn into a scorpion. Not ‘interesting’ because it’s any good, Twin Cobra è un vero capolavoro di shmup.
