Two years after the release of Rebel Assault, LucasArts is now shipping the sequel, Rebel Assault 2: The Hidden Empire. As in the first title of the series, you will play the role of Rookie One, a rebel of the Alliance fighting the Empire's forces.

Rebel Assault II ne révolutionne en rien le concept du jeu vidéo. Il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il est si bien réalisé, qu'on est obligé de l'apprécier. La qualité de la vidéo est excellente, tout comme la jouabilité. Les allergiques du shoot'em up se contenteront de regarder...

Im Hintergrund erschallt die Musik von John Williams, eine schwarzgewandete Gestalt mit einem metallisch schimmernden Helm dreht sich um, röchelt seinem Offizier einige Befehle entgegen und starrt durch die Glasfront des Sternenzerstörers hinaus in die Weiten des Weltalls. Spürst Du die Macht, junger Jedi? Rebel Assault 2 ist da...

Den größten Fehler hat sich LucasArts meiner Meinung nach bei der Steuerung geleistet. So paradox es klingen mag: Mir ist der "interaktive Film" Rebel Assault 2 ein Stück zu interaktiv. Auf die Gegner feuern und nebenbei noch Hindernissen ausweichen ist auf Dauer weder besonders spannend noch befriedigend. Entweder knallt man unbeachsichtigt in ein Hindernis, weil man auf ein Raumschiff auf der anderen Seite zielt. Oder der Spieler wird abgeschossen, bevor er das Fadenkreuz auf die andere Bildschirmseite bringen konnte, um sich zu wehren.

För Star Wars-fanatiker är det här spelet ett måste. Alla andra slutar att fascineras av Rebel Assault II efter att ha sett filmsekvenserna några gånger.

Adrenaline Vault, The (AVault)
Rebel Assault scores very highly but remember that difficulty isn't tallied in. The game itself is both visually and auditorally stunning but otherwise quite boring and mundane to play. Like I said above, I finished the game in just about 3 hours time. I would suggest passing on this one unless you're buying it for young children.

GameSpot
Rebel Assault II's fine musical score, well-written script, and decent acting will be enough to satisfy those seeking a worthwhile multimedia "experience," but the limited gameplay will most likely send hard-core gamers running back to Tie Fighter.

PC Gameplay (Benelux)
Had men de speler wat meer bewegingsvrijheid gegeven, dan zou spel een ongelooflijk succes worden. Nu is Rebel Assault enkel een gemiste kans.

Great cutscenes, sound-track, effects; entertaining story. Almost no interactive fun; ridiculously short gameplay. If you want Star Wars, get X-Wing or TIE Fighter. If you want a challenging arcade game, look elsewhere.

I feel cheated. Just as I was starting to enjoy the game, I was thrown into some nearly uncontrollable vehicle. Frustration quickly replaced anticipation as the game progressed. If you're looking for a cheap production of Star Wars with bad acting and cheesy one-liners, Rebel Assault II delivers. If you want at least a half-decent game, stay away from this stinker.
