WIN2k.exe crack works fine in windows XP. The default exe doesnt. Change your shortcuts to point the the correct exe and the game will work fine.

Why change your shortcuts when the fixed exe from reloaded fixes the crash already? lol complicating things..
Anyways, kinda fun game, but too linear, you know, build that, then you gotta use that dude to do that, then that. Meh.

Odd, I used it and NOTHING happened that I can see. Does it unlock them to wander around in the bar for you to pick? Or?

Plus there's a crackfix out now. Which has been said at least 5 times too.

That's nonsense! Why do people keep saying this?? The SW games are usually either good or at least decent. Right now I can't even remember a single bad one that was released in the last 4 years. |
Why limit it to 4 years? Thats silly. We were talking x-wing and tie-fighter, those games getting on 13 years old.
So lets see, I'm focusing on windows here, and I've played ALL the below games (except the MMORPGs).
Star Wars: Rebellion definately crappy strategy like game.
Star Wars: Force Commander definately crappy RTS.
Battle for Naboo was pretty crappy.
Episode I: The Phantom Menace was pretty crappy.
Star Wars: Rebel Assault this game you fly in space ship in a FIXED course and can't move except a few degrees so you can shoot at targets. Everything happenes in 100% exact same pattern as before, everything is fixed. Takes about 5 mins to get bored, so I'd put this in crappy category.
Star Wars: Rebel Assault II Same as the first one.
Star Wars: Empire at War Here's one in last 4 years just for you. While it has some interesting features, and is fun for a bit, its very shallow galaxy wise. You can only take over a few designated planets at a time in the whole galaxy, and they limit your strategies for doing so. This was a kinda crappy game, gets boring real quick since its mostly the same way to take a planet everytime. And heck, they practically admit it, they allow you to SKIP combats lol.
Oh and we can't forget this one, this is another one in last 4 years:
Star Wars: Galaxies the MMORPG. I haven't found anyone who actually thinks this is a good game a few months after release. They nerfed everything interesting in patches, and the implementation of being a Jedi is crappy. I could include each of the supposed star wars expansion packs for this, but I think I'll pass. This game started at a peak of 300k subscribers and is down to about 150k. It began dropping even before WoW came out.
Now does this mean there's no good star wars games? Of course not, the KOTOR series was brilliant. On the surface it looks dumbed down RPG, but while it is fairly linear in many resspects, they allow you to dig down deep into the D&D numbers behind everything if you want, so you can get pretty deep in numbers if thats your thing. And its great fun.
If we aren't sticking to 4 years, the two dark forces and the first two Jedi Knight games were pretty good stuff. And there's more good ones as well, heck I haven't even mentioned x-wing and tie-fighter. I also haven't even mentioned all the ones I bought and/or have played.
Tie-fighter was so sweet. I beat that (and its expansions) on the hardest difficulty accomplishing all objectives. And holy crap is it hard. Flying a tie figter, TWO HITS and you are GONE. Very cool. Also, it has a nice little backstory about being an emporer's Hand that ties into the brilliant Timothy Zahn books.
Anyway theres more bad and more good, but there's a small taste, both older AND some within 4 years since you mentioned that arbitrary deadline.

Star Wars: Empire at War - great RTS.
Star Wars: Republic Commandos - great squad based FPS.
KOTOR/2 - great RPG.

See above, I mentioned 2 out of 3 of those. I disagree with your opinion on the RTS one though. I mentioned some reasons above.
I did agree above about KOTOR series though, its brilliant.

Of course, just thoughts I'd add my own opinion as well as add Republic Commandos to your list.

No that makes perfect sense because four years is the time span in which no bad SW games were released imo. Obi Wan was released more than 4 years ago and this is the last one I can think of that may have had a questionable quality. You know what's silly? When you say today "most SW games are bad" and really mean ancient games that are almost a decade old. When we're nowadays talking about the quality of SW games we should only consider the releases of the last couple of years and you can't say SW games are bad when there were almost only good ones in the last few years. I won't seriously discuss with you now if Empires at War for example is a bad game. Everyone knows it's not. Maybe you should learn to differentiate more? There's not only black and white or great and bad. Personally I would give EAW **** / ***** - it was a good game but not great. There were a few things which could have been better.
PS Rebel Assault was nice at the time it was released! (I even enjoyed Episode 1 but I guess that's just me.)

How does the save system work in this? I can't find any option to save back at the cantina so if you exit there do you lose what you've done since the last chapter you've completed? I hate console save systems like this

Cantina has places for you to buy upgrades, or customize a character (for free play). It also has hidden bonus areas to unlock with gold bricks. You can take the elevator to outside cantina to look at the models you've assembled so far.
Aside from that, no there's nothing to do there

I'd rate EAW more like 3 out of 5 stars. Because of the above reasons I mentioned earlier. If I rated games only black or white, that would be 1 or 5 stars out of 5. And I'm not. If you read my previous list, you'll notice I mention "kinda crappy" or "definatly crappy" those are not all the same degree of crappiness.
As for "everyone knowing its not" and everyone agreeing its a great game, check gamerankings.com for reviews. Average review is 79% which isn't too bad (its about your 4/5 star rating). Gamespy gives it a 70%. But there's at least a few reviews that rate it 60% or below which is my 3/5 star rating.
Also, I mentioned another set of star wars games that are within last 4 years, that are crappy.
So no, I didn't only mention ancient ones.
There's no doubt that they have improved in last few years, some of the best ones have been released. But they haven't all been good in last few years.

Does the eventual FPS rate drop happens to everyone? I've tried changing the Video options to a thousand combinations, tweaking my Nvidia drivers to fix it, but I can't. When I force Vsync OFF I get about 130 FPS normally (I do not normally play it that way, it's just for testing), but then there are some parts in level 3 and 5 of "A New Hope" that it simply drops to below 35! It's pretty annoying, I don't think my computer would 'surrender' to a few extra blows, maybe the game needs a patch? My computer:
Athlon64 3200+
Corsair Twinx XMS 1GB kit (2 x 512MB)
XFX Geforce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI-e

I just dont like games where you HAVE to use all characters, one there, one there, you know games in which you control a group of guys all with totally different abilities and they cant do anything else.

Ok, probably missing something VERY obvious here, but anyone done Ep VI, mission 3? I am stck at the very beginning with luke and Leia. I get the platform to raise leia up with, but I can't do anything from it? Doesn't raise high enough for me to jump over the log or shoot anything.

Well you dont HAVE to. Almost all of the stuff with certain characters is for secrets and bonuses. They have some of it throughout each level on normal play, but not nearly as much as the hidden stuff.

Just a question...sorry if i will sound a bit errrrm...arrogant here. Isn't this a real kiddy game? Or are you playing it because
1-You guys are kids actually?
2-There is nothing else out?
3- Just playing it cause its free and you cant resist?...cause its free obviously
If I have offended anyone i can assure you it was never my attention...I was just curious...obviously

its a fun game in general, dont knock it just cuz it says LEGO. and the little nuances they add to star wars to make it humorous like stormtroopers in thier underwear and the way Darth Vader tells luke he's his father are pretty funny. you should try it out. its a nice detour from all of the rest of the crap that flys out.

Actually, no it's not that kiddy unlike some other games... Puzzles are "harder" than first game - some NFOrcers are even having trouble with some puzzles. |
