Super Star Wars

“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: JVC

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Probably the first truly decent Star Wars video game Can't move while shooting unless you jump so you tend to hold down on shoot button and hop around aimlessly Infinitely spawning enemies Confusing hit boxes - bounce off enemies as often as they deal damage Weird slide mechanic- duck and hold forward and jump button. Use L or R dummies


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Some variety, definitely follows the movie Ambitious but pretty awful speeder level Long levels. Introduces an enemy or obstacle and then repeats it 5-10 more times


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:

Its Star Wars. The originals.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Great stuff especially for 1992 Lots of animation and sprites with some understandable slowdown when it gets too nuts Ambitious enemies Everything looks like it's ripped from the movie


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Classic John Williams score. Amazing stuff sounds good even as midi. However some tracks aren't exciting enough like the Jawa theme which plays for a long time


Overall Score: 66

Review ID: 595
