Great Game! [Posted on 2000-05-14]
This is one of the best games I have ever seen! You can fly anything from a TIE fighter to a missile boat! Also you can fight against A,B,X,Y wings and capital ships!

If only your battle skills could be used for evil..... [Posted on 2000-09-04]
The original Tie Fighter was one of the best space combat games available. The Tie Fighter Collector's Ed. (TFCE) is upgraded over its previous incarnation to support hardware acceleration but that's only for the flight sequences. Between the flying, you'll notice the same old cutscenes around the same less-than photorealistism. The sound is also conspicuously improved - mostly because it to alternates between the true stereo of todays computers (again in the flying sequences) and the ancient MIDI in the intervals.

That said, the meat of the game is firmly in Pentium country, with rich colors and textures expected for a latter-day sim, but not taxing enough to slow down frame-rate on any low-level P200MMX. If you own "X-wing v. Tie Fighter", you'll find the same level of graphics, but with more imaginative single-player missions. As a fighter pilot with the dread imperial star fleet, you fly those tiny little insect like ships that seems to drop like flies in the 3 movies. Besides the expected campaigns (all pre-scripted, you can't go on until you finish all primary mission objectives) and "historical" missions, there's a nifty pilot's proving ground, an enclosed maze and shooting gallery that convincingly recalls the Death Star innards from the 3rd movie. However, the missions require you not only destroy waves of fighters or large ships, but inspect and even capture other ships. Also, a complex storyline sends imperial starfighters against a variety of enemies, many not quite as noble as the stalwart rebels. Star Wars is best when highlighting the moral ambiguity of its surrounding universe, and Tie Fighter doesn't dissappoint, and your enemies will include Rebel X-wings, but also pirates and profiteers, defectors and other traitors and various alien races who don't know that they need the emperor's permission to war against each other. There's even a clever subplot in which you have two missions - your commander's and those of a special imperial emissary. Most of the time, the two are in line, and neither asks you to controvert the orders of the other. It creates a level of depth and suspicion mising from the original x-wing.

If X-wing collector's ed is this good, I'll pick it up as well. If you've already got the original versions of both games, I'd suggest getting the new X-wing, since the original was the older of the two and would have the best improvement.

I LOVE THIS GAME [Posted on 2000-11-01]
My cousin owns this game, so when I visit, I got to play it. I got adicted on the first time. This is funner than (I'm sorry fans) Tiberian Sun, since you can personaly blow up infinite Y-Wings and X-Wings, which is pretty fun.

The Empire Rocks [Posted on 2000-11-24]
Not only does this game incorparate the underappreciated Imperials it does so in a nice way. You get to fly 7 craft! Unlike the old version this game has better sound and grafics. The cutscenes are still old but they fill the bill. You don't just have to fight Y,A,X, and B wings. You fight well detailed Calamari Cruisers, YT-1300 transports (Millenium Falcon) Star Destroyers, Carrack Cruisers and so forth. Great game.

THE BEST IS EVIL [Posted on 2005-01-11]
