The first 3d-shooter in the Star Wars universe.
It was supposed to replace Doom as the best shooter, and it delivers through
good graphics, Star Wars music, varied missions and a good storyline.
The biggest drawback was that you couldn't save anywhere, which was enhanced
by the fact that some levels were really huge. Still, Dark Forces didn't
sell as many copies as Doom or even Doom 2. The missing multiplayer might
have something to with that. In Dark forces you play as Kyle Katarn, a
former Imperial Guard. As a new rebel agent you have to complete many
varied missions. You will visit imperial bases, the canals of planet Anoat,
a prison, Darth Vader's spaceship and you'll even fight Boba Fett (one
of the highlights of the game ). Some very tough spots make up for some
irritation, which is of course enhanced by the shabby save-game function.
It introduced a linear storyline with levels presented as "missions" with
certain objectives to be accomplished, and cutscenes that advanced the plot.
It was also the first "Doom clone" to be set in the environments of a predefined
universe (Imperial bases, Star Destroyers, ships, planets, etc.) rather than
simplistic, surreal mazes and "find the exit" scenarios. All in all, this is a
very good game.
