Product Description

The Super Nintendo Home Entertainment System (SNES) was Nintendo's second home console. Whereas the earlier system had struggled in the PAL region and large parts of Asia, the SNES proved to be a gobal success, allbeit one that could not match its predecessor's popularity in Southeast Asia and North America - due inpart to increased competition from Sega's Mega Drive console. Despite its relatively late start, the SNES became the best selling console of the 16-bite era. NO CASE, NO MANUAL.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Video Game)

Super Return of the Jedi is an action-platformer that continues the quality of fun set by the last two games. It follows the movie's storyline pretty well, with nicely detailed renderings of familiar locations, five playable characters, and John Williams' memorable score. As a movie-to-game translation, it's definitely one of the strongest of the 16-bit era.

Special mention must be made of the Mode-7 pseudo-3D stages. With the limited technology available to programmers at the time, they were quite inventive in pulling off the Speeder Bike chase, Millennium Falcon battles, and the final run into the Death Star. There's a nice handful of these levels scattered throughout the game, which mixes things up a bit between the regular 2D stages.

So is the game hard? Overall no, but it's a decent challenge depending on the difficulty level. The final 'escape from the Death Star' level does prove to be quite tricky though, and there are better characters to use in some levels over others.

A must-have for all Star Wars fans. None of the 2D attempts on the Game Boy Advance have come close to the quality of these games.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Video Game)

This is a cool game, and I can agree with the guy who says that you can't be a Jedi if you don't beat this! Although it is not very much like the movie, I must say that you can see the simialarities in the game. I personaly like to use passcode cheats, so that I can explore new and unique levels. I am a classic gamer, and I can identify a great classic. This is definitely one of them! A side-scrolling arcade game, first person views on vehicles such as landspeeders, speeder bikes, and X-wings, and hard to beat challenges make it a SNES classic!

Though the graphics aren't as good as Empire Strikes Back, this is still a cool game. Very challenging.

Here's a tip:
select Chewy for the first level, because there's no other way to defeat the boss without a blaster. I tried to using Luke about fifty times, the lightsaber doesn't work, trust me.
