X-Wing Alliance

Conclusion

X-Wing Alliance is a great game, with eye-popping graphics, and jaw loosening sound effects. TIE Fighter cannons sound just like the movies. Flying into the engine wash of a Star Destroyer hurts your ship. The Falcon handles something like the "real" thing. The game is a great deal of fun, but also challenging.

"Alliance" does have an appeal for hard core simmers, especially after a hard evening defending Korea in Falcon 4. Buy it. Yes it could be improved, but couldn't everything? If anyone from Lucasarts is reading this, consider what I have said here.
