Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Review

The last game of a trilogy of really cool star wars games. This is the one that sums it up and actually the only one that I owned myself under the snes era (I have bought the other two later on).

There´s so much to talk about this game, it keeps the arcade game feeling however this time around it´s a bit easier. This is actually the easiest game of the three, might be because I have played this through multiple times but I don´t think so. There´s not as difficult platforming like in the other two games.

So what has changed since Super Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back? Well to start it off, you can now choose you´re character again (most of the times). You can also play as two new characters, Leia and Wicket (you know the little Ewok bear?). Leia plays out different depending on if she´s dressed with bounty hunter gear, slave or rebell. That´s a really cool feature that they have added, the different costumes that plays a big role in the movie is in here in the game as well. And frankly there´s probably a big lot of guys who as always wanted to play with slave Leia. Wicket is one heck of a cool character aswell, armed with a bow he can fire arrows and climb upon those. This reveals new paths to go which is kinda awesome. Also his bow is really powerfull and ofcourse his height aint that big which makes him a harder target to hit for the enemies.

Don´t get fooled by that the game is easier than the rest because there is still alot of deathtraps in the game like small moving objects that the player needs to land on, all kinds of different enemies with a taste of blood in their mouths. The boss battles still is pretty bad ass, mostly due to the oversized bosses (which was a thing in retro games and still are) but also that it mostly takes memorable characters from the movie and let´s the player fight them. Bosses like Jabba the hutt, Darth Vader and ofcourse the Emperor.

And ofcourse there still are vehicle based levels, the game even starts with one where the player needs to travel to Jabbas palace. You will be able to speed through Endor with speederbikes and fight against the deathstar in Millenium Falcon.

The third time around this gaming continue on delivering what fans of the game and movie expects which is packed with lore and really cool action. It´s fast paced, difficult but a real fun experience. There´s not a dull moment in the game and it´s something for the whole family to enjoy because of the easy controls.

Overall - 9/10, easy to pick up, hard to let go off. Get your friends and play this now!
