Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire

The Good
The atmosphere was well done. It was cheesy, but it was Star Wars, and that used to be the same thing. Even though it was mostly a rail shooter, there were a lot of fun moments, particularly the memorable scene involving the Millennium Falcon and a mineshaft. Even though it was the same every time, I still played it again and again. It was Star Wars escapism, pure and simple, and it recalls a time when Lucasarts would make games that were appealing. The easter eggs were also a nice touch.

The Bad
It definitely hasn't aged well (What game involving FMV has?), and I probably won't go back and play it any time soon. Ultimately, it was boring.

The Bottom Line
Rebel Assault I and II were an attempt by Lucasarts to create an FMV based game set in the Star Wars universe. Featuring a variety of action sequences, the gameplay isn't particularly memorable, but it was a noteworthy attempt to put live action production values into video games, something they later used to great effect with the cutscenes of Jedi Knight.
