The revolutionary game for the series serves as a link between the two trilogies of George Lucas, connecting the third and fourth episodes.

Overview: Playability
After the release of this game on consoles, more than a year has passed and the PC audience no longer hoped to see this project on personal computers. But a miracle happened, recently the release of an extended version of this project on the PC took place and after a short period of time it was published.
The game has many features that are inherent in Star Wars: travel to galaxies far, far away, fights with the use of laser swords, the use of unrealistic Jedi power in various variations, and a wide variety of other features inherent in this universe. The player can choose their own character from the rich Star Wars universe.
The playability of the game is at the proper level - an interesting and uncomplicated plot, easy digestibility of controls, a variety of levels. The developers came out with a very successful and atmospheric slasher that fully conveys the spirit of Star Wars. The game will allow you to have a good time and leave only positive impressions. This is especially true of Star Wars fans, who will be delighted with her.
Overview: Game graphics
Game graphics are not at the highest level and allow you to wish for a better picture. But despite this, the locations are quite meaningful and well detailed, the lighting effects are not stuck where in vain and create a pleasant perception. Character models are made at a quite acceptable level and leave only positive emotions.
We are pleased with the good implementation of game physics, but it is a pity that it does not apply to all objects, but only to those with which the character can interact. But still, even such a narrowly focused implementation of it is a little pleasing. They could have left her behind...
In general, we can conclude that the game graphics look at a quite average level and, coupled with a good gameplay, will leave only good memories from the game.
Review: The resource intensity of the game
The developers set for the game are not very democratic requirements, but we can please gamers and report that they are somewhat overstated. But there is an exception - to install the game on your hard drive, you really need 25 gigabytes of free space. Otherwise, it is more democratic: a Core 2 Duo 2.66 processor and about 2 gigabytes of RAM.
Testing at maximum quality settings at a resolution of 1920x1080
All modern intro boosters can handle this game without any problems. But there is one small fact - the game has an internal limit of 30 frames, which may upset some gamers.
Conclusion: The game is made quite soundly and efficiently. The gameplay very vividly conveys the spirit of Star Wars. Due to its low resource consumption and excellent gameplay, it will appeal to many gamers.
