About This Game
The game pioneered the use of 3D environments in Star Wars games, with varied gameplay switching between third-person shooting, flight combat, and platforming across 10 chapters.
Notable for its atmospheric Hoth level recreating the AT-AT assault, and the first 3D interpretation of Boba Fett's ship Slave I in a video game.
Though criticized for camera issues, it became a system-seller for the N64 and established the expanded universe concept that would dominate Star Wars storytelling for decades.
