Amazon.com Review

A vehicular combat game set "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away," Star Wars Demolition is yet another embarrassingly mediocre title based on the premier sci-fi movie series. A mishmash of elements from the various Star Wars films, the laughably implausible premise here allows for disparate combatants (Boba Fett, a piloted podracer, and a Rancor, to name a few) to fight in arenas that range from inappropriate (e.g., the swampy Dagobah) to impossible (e.g., the surface of the Death Star II).

It's a shame that the gameplay in Star Wars Demolition isn't even remotely as imaginative as its "what if?" fanboy scenario, as all you've got here is an uninspired regurgitation of similar games (like Vigilante 8), with clunky controls tossed in for bad measure.

Whatever amusement one can find in Star Wars Demolition wears thin really fast, making this disc one really expensive Star Wars-themed drink coaster.--Joe Hon

Pros:

• 3-D graphics and sound are, for the most part, faithful to the movie series

Cons:

• Laughably implausible premise
• Uninspired gameplay with clunky controls
• Amusement wears thin really fast

4.0 out of 5 stars The most intense Star Wars game to date!, December 15, 2000

By

Me and my friends have lost hours of sleep playing this incredible game. This is one of the most intense games I have played. Will YOU like it? Well, you first have to like the concept of Demolition Derby. If you do, you'll at least like it. You'll like it even more if you like Star Wars. This game makes some of the Star Wars dreams come true. Where else will you see Darth Maul (who is a hidden character that I've unlocked) and Boba Fett battle each other? As such, this game isn't very fun if you play alone. You MUST be playing against friends. Pick this one up if you're looking for a great party game and turn the sound up!!

4.0 out of 5 stars "THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE..", November 25, 2000

This review is from: Star Wars Demolition (Video Game)

let's face it; the car combat genre hasn't really exploded on the video game scene, as compared to fighters first/third person shooters or even RPG's. ever since the first TWISTED METAL game. (which was the most innovate, as well as the first "HIT and DRIVE but i must give credit to activision/luxoflux for producing this kinda game but with the vernable STAR WARS license.

SWD uses the most well reconized vehicles from ALL the previous STAR WARS movies, including the pod racer from epidsode 1. the sounds are very authenthic from the whinny laser blasts to R2 D2's "chatter" of course you also hear the legendary john williams soundtracks as well. thr graphics are great except with slight hint of "draw in" (C'MON GUYS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEXT GENERATION SYSTEM!!)

what SWD adds to this genre, are different tournament modes,that add the replay value like high stakes where you can place a bet on you against your opponent, and unlocking extras like bonus vehicles/characters etc. from your earnings as well.

all in all, for those who can't wait for the upcoming TWISTED METAL BLACK (on ps2)as well as you FORCE FANS, this is a MUST BUY.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST GAME EVER!!, April 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars Demolition (Video Game)

This is the best game ever. I bought it and wasn't excepecting to much, but to my surprise when I first played it I was amazed. The graphics and gameplay were the best. The controlls were easy to master. The levels in it were the bomb. They are interactive, like in this one these giant robots are walking around and they shoot at you. The characters they have in this game are the bomb and so are the veichles. Each veichle has its own weapons and there are also weapons you can pick up will playing. The enimies are pretty good they'll gain up on you and make you run. My friend and I were playing the game for about 3 hours and it felt like 10 minutes. If you are playing two players you can be on the same team doing anything in the game. My favorite veichle is the speeder bike. OH, another thing I found intresting was when you hit a guy with a missile or laser (or whatever) they like explode and sizzle and start on fire so the damage looks real unlike other corney games. This game is good for all ages except for some of the violence. OH, and if you liked the Vilgilante 8s you'll love this game.
