Great review! I remember liking this game well enough when I was a kid. I loved the cutscenes and dialogues, they really pulled me in, the sound design was also pretty good in those pre-rendered cutscenes, the sound of the ship was very Star Wars-ish. The game itself was... alright. I replayed it a few months ago by emulating it on Dolphin -- I had no idea a PC remaster was on the way. The levels were a bit too long for my liking and the gameplay was a bit janky, even for the time. I generally agree with most of what you said, with one or two exceptions: I'm surprised you didn't like the funny "bloopers", I loved them as a kid (although I didn't speak English at the time and they weren't localized, so I couldn't understand much). As for other extras, I did like the comics, but as I couldn't read English, I just looked at the cool pictures. The only word I could understand is when a Mandalorian says "Duck!" and at the time I only knew the literal meaning of the word and I remember being confused, like why is he talking about ducks? lol. I'm also surprised you had such a hard time finding your way through the levels, because I don't remember having this problem, but looking at it objectively, it's true that a linear path doesn't naturally "emerge" from the level design. I think I just know the game too well to really be unbiased when it comes to this. 2 Story points I always found strange: 1) When Montross blows up the station on which Roz is located... does he blow up EVERYONE else? I mean it was a big station with a lot of people on it, as seen in the first three levels. Did Montross commit mass killing at this moment? Always found it strange. 2) It's never explained how Zam escaped her cell on Tatooine, making her sudden appearance on the moon of Bogden a bit deus-ex machina.
@koopanique Hey thanks for the feedback and watching the video. I think Roz’ station is actually different than the Outland Station we find ourselves in the first chapter and as for Zam’s escape I just chalked it up to the fact that she’s a bounty hunter, same as you, so I’m sure she could find a way out one way or another. Edit: Looking back on it now, I think Montross indeed did become a mass murderer having destroyed Outland station, I was mistaken.

I didn’t get to play this gem until it was on ps4
Holy shit this video is really good and don’t apologize for the back story we need more of this!!
Thank you, and yes I agree the comic was very helpful in understanding the whole story
Great review!
