The sounds of laser fire from AT-AT's, turrets, and other ships are all perfectly replicated. You will think you are actually in one of the movies. John Williams is back to do another beautiful score. The music is perfectly matched to the game and even though it's based on the classic music we all know by heart, he's managed to mix it up enough so that it never becomes boring. The music is digitized and compressed, so it does lack a little bit of the quality a CD-Audio soundtrack would have offered.
Game play is purely arcade.
Don't buy this game thinking you are buying the next X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter simulation, or you will be sorely disappointed. The learning curve is small and the fun factor is high. Sometimes it will take several attempts to learn the best strategy for a specific mission, and it will almost certainly take multiple attempts to earn a Silver or Gold medal. While this may sound frustrating it's actually not. You have complete freedom to fly about the mission area.
