Holds up well after all these years. It’s basically a cleaned up version of the N64 game, not much improved other than some improved textures and wide screen format.
Would love to see a remake with all new modern graphics, but for $15 this is a good nostalgia trip.
I’ll likely play this once to the end and delete it, but it’s fun being able to play it as a portable and makes the price worth it.

Retro Star Wars with Gameplay That Still Holds Up

I bought this because it was on sale and I wanted to relive a little nostalgia from when I played this on N64 -- wow this game holds up surprisingly well, and I don't think they made any adjustments to the gameplay. The game looks clean and it looks like it was ported from the PC or Dreamcast game rather than the N64 game which didn't look as good. Fast paced, adjustable difficulty, and pretty straight forward. Worth picking up even if you're not a Star Wars fan too.

A great remaster that allows the dark areas of the original game to be seen much more clearly. Some updates in controls also streamline the experience. All that, plus the new cutscenes make for an excellent gameplay experience. If it had online multiplayer somehow, I’d give it a 6/5, but this is more than good enough!

Can't believe I'm playing this game again! I had the N64 version back in '99 and it was a great game then and a great game now. Sense of speed is incredible and now the graphics are sharper with better frame rates. If you loved the game back in '99 you'll love it now.

If you want a change of pace from the shooter POV games for your kids, this is the way to go. Can never go wrong with Star Wars products! Huge hit for Christmas present!

Such a fun little game from days of yore. The N64 wasn’t perfect but as a kid and even now in adulthood, it’s perfect for me.
