Game Review

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is a platform action-adventure created for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by Lucasfilm Games and Sculptured Software and released in 1992.

It's the sequel to the Star Wars game created by Beam Software. Like the predecessor, Star Wars NES, and unlike the arcade game Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by Atari, this game allows players to experience several movie locations. Playing as Luke Skywalker, you must fight with the blaster, lightsaber, and force powers against several enemies in Hoth, Echo Base, Dagobah, Bespin, and Cloud City.

In terms of gameplay, maybe it's not the best platformer-shooter out there, but being able to play as Luke, see the Battle of Hoth, train with Yoda, meet Han Solo, drive a snow speeder, is not something you want to miss. Not to mention fighting against Darth Vader and Boba Fett.

May the force be with you!
