Your personal Star Wars film.

<span class="bold">Star Wars&trade;: Rebel Assault I &amp; II</span>, the famously live-action Star Wars classics are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. A digital distribution premiere for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux!

The famous live-action, FMV rail shooters return. It's<span class="bold">Star Wars&trade;: Rebel Assault I &amp; II</span> in one nostalgia-filled package. Blast through the ranks of the Galactic Empire and revisit familiar movie locations - you're Rookie One, a fresh pilot of the Rebellion destined to fly in battles against TIE fighters, assault the Death Star, and navigate tight trenches. You'll also fight on-foot in unmistakably 90's full-motion-video action sequences to be remembered. Often compared to interactive Star Wars movies, the <span class="bold">Star Wars&trade;: Rebel Assault</span> series is a highly successful, quality blast from the past - an alternative look at the Rebellion from the inside.

Experience the all-out <span class="bold">Rebel Assault</span>, a DRM-free digital distribution premiere on GOG.com!

darthspudius: If you struggled with that, you'll HATE the next level. I thought it controlled easy enough.

Novotnus: Yeah, I decided to stop at that asteroid field :) I'll try again today with fresh mind and fingers.
When I played it the first time, it took me a while to figure that I also had to avoid the grey asteroids (by moving the cursor to the opposite side of the screen).

So is this worth the full price?

I'm probably a bit biased, as these are among my favourite games, but they are well worth it if you can look past the graphics (and if you can't I suggest you take a look at Rogue Squadron instead).

Two words: Speeder Bikes.
That asteroid belt or that YT-1300 tunnel run were just warm-ups.

Ah sure, those were quite painful : \

I loved these, but:
- you must like rail shooters with FVMs.
- you must love SW.
- you own a joystick.
- nowadays the quality of some movie clips are horrible (unless they've been remastered).
- both games are quite hard, right from the first level.
- a few sections are a bit trial&error (ex: those in third person).

Unless you cannot resist, just wait for a promo.
(ps: check some LP video on Youtube)

Yeah I'll wait for a promo. I am a SW freak but I'm so loaded with other SW games right now.

Ahh, Rebel Assault, one of only 2 games I ever intentionally broke the CD because the game was so awful. The other was Millenia: Altered Destinies.

Are you a Star Wars fan? If you say 'yes' then I know the game must actually be that bad. XD

It's still fucking Star Wars. Just FMV. I've played Rebel Assault II recently and the first two chapters were a cakewalk (playing with mouse only). Not so much chapter 3, where you have to evade a lot of shit with your ship. Not sure if this was better with a joystick back then. AFAIK there are cheats for invincibility and stuff.
Wait for a sale and get it!

Where the hell were you on the 4th? I changed my avatar to a Cthulhu Storm Trooper and thought of all you people you would appreciate that! :P

And I was just making conversation, I'm going to get this either way.

are these games just an interactive experience of the movies or are there levels which aren't in the movies?

I can only speak for Rebel Assault II, but it didn't follow the movies at all. It's a lot of expanded-universe FMV cutscenes interspersed with short minigame-ish scenes. In one you fly a Tie Fighter through a canyon, in another you control a human and shoot Stormtroopers while dodging behind cover. Stuff like that. There are quite a few different gameplay scenes, and some of them can be incredibly difficult. I really liked the game back in the 90s--don't know how it holds up.

flying a tie fighter through a canyon is definitely not part of the movies. thanks
