A very accurate representation of the final battle of the Galactic Civil War. The game starts out simple, just blast the TIE fighters. Then, things get more complicated as you have to take out a Star Destroyer, and TIE Interceptors get into the mix. The cutscenes are very well done, and the lines come straight from the movie (text, no sound clips). The game plays like a simplified version of the X-Wing Academy games, even allowing you to change the laser settings, and even including lock on proton torpedoes. The scaling for the captial ships is flawless, any Star Wars fan will greatly appreciate the accuracy of the fighter to starship size ratio, as the Mon Calmari Cruisers truly do look as though they could hold three dozen fighters, which is something you rarely see in games now days.

Graphics are very good for a fan game. Some of the best unprofessional work I've ever seen. Music comes straight from the Star Wars movies (such as "It's a Trap!" and the Imperial March) and is very high quality, but I believe they were simply ripped from a sound track.

My only complaint is that the TIEs are rather lacking in the AI department, but with the accuracy of enemy turbo lasers, you'll have a decent challenge regardless.

Overall, I seriously think that "Bruno R" should try and apply for a job at Lucas Arts. He has the needed knowledge, and we need a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game.
