A real expansion to the classic Dark Forces 2, Mysteries of the Sith is a very fun and dynamic game, with a short little story to keep your SW love up for a while. Although using much of the same mechanics from Dark Forces 2 and not adding anything that different to the table, its short, sweet, and as hard as its predecessor. And although the story could use a little better writing, it can be a fun game to play.

Besides the cheesy FMVs and the absolutely abhorrent graphics quality, Dark Forces 2 is a very well made game for its time. Although it hasn't aged well at all, it is an instant classic along with its predecessor Dark Forces. Featuring very fast paced and fun FPS action, and very well made lightsaber combat for a game of its type once you first get your Lightsaber, it can be very fun to play. Though it can be very hard at times, and the force powers are, in my opinion, a wasted oppertunity, it serves a very good SW game.

A doom clone done right, but not as invigorating or as good as its father, but a classic none the less. A hallmark for SW games to come, featuring a nice story to tie in with it, along with a well made soundtrack to boast. Although the gameplay could get tedious and annoying at certain parts (Nar Shadaa, i'm looking at you.) It can be an invigorating adventure for someone who has an appreciation for games like this.

What to say about this game? Well, for starters, it's a stepping stone to possibly one of the greatest game series of all time, the Fallout series (Obviously), you may be more akin to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but both Fallout 1 and 2 are an entire different breed of game altogether.
The game starts off in a Vault, Vault 13 to be more specific. A water chip, that keeps the Vault's water supply clean, but then all of a sudden, it breaks. The Overseer, sends out YOU to find a new Water Chip, setting in motion the Fallout series.
This game is not totally freely explorable like New Vegas or Fallout 3, it's timed, so you don't want to spend too much time in one place, it take's 150 days to find the Water Chip, which will be marked on your Pip Boy (Not a wrist pad in this version, but rather a small device), the game explains the origins of the NCR, and Super Mutants, and other places.
The combat is turn based, not first person, so you're going to have to take individual turns with you and your enemy when attacking, (I.E You attack first, but only for a certain number of times, the enemy attacks after, with the same set of rules.).
The plot can be changed, but there is a canon ending which i will not spoil, you should play it for yourself and see what you do to effect the games endings. You can check out guides and other stuff to help you along your way.
Overall, it's a excellent game, not meant for everyone though, the time limit can limit your experience wether you want to do side quests or not, and the combat can be a little too tough aswell.
But i recommend it, make sure you play this if you want the full Fallout experience (Along with Fallout 2 of course.)

Well then, what's to say about this game? Rage, failure, success, money, addiction, it's like a better version of an MMO.
Even if the in-game economy was terrible, this game has a PLETHERA of items, some come at random, but most you need to have money for.
Hey, i mean it's valve, you SHOULD waste your money on all those new hats and key's right? (uhhuhuhuhuhuhuh)
Now for the gameplay it's fairly simple, but it depends on which loadout you use, this is why the TF2 community hates F2P's, because it's the same basic class with farmed achievments and a ghastly gibus, though i dont hate them so to say, there are different classes for purposes suited to the objective, (I.E, Flame ♥♥♥♥♥♥ burning a patch of enemies riding a car.) and sometimes you can be a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, *cough*rocketandstickyjumpers*cough*
That's all i really need to say, you need time and patience to play through this.
TL;DR version: ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in-game economy, diverse gameplay, tons of items and customization, and a great game overall.
