Pros It's Star Wars!! You get to fly around and blast stuff!

Cons Missions can get confusing.

Recommended it? Yes

Several years ago I was playing X-Wing and then Tie Fighter. Both of these games were lots of fun, espically Tie where I got to blow up the Rebel Scum. When I was out looking for a new diversion recently I ran across X-Wing Alliance, so I decided to give it a shot. I figured at $15 I couldn't go... Read full review »

Pros It's great game

Cons Some missions are quite tough

Recommended it? Yes

This is a great space combat/flight-sim. There are plenty of different ships to use in the customizable scenarios, some positive improvements compared to XWing-TieFighter and TieFighter, and a storyline ( with cutscenes ) with bits of humor, plenty of action and some surprises. The campaign is not... Read full review »

Cons Feels like ideas ran low for later missions.

Recommended it? Yes

Believe it or not, I never really gave the series of games which proceeded X-Wing Alliance the time of day. Something about them just looked a bit too Wing Commandery for my personal taste. So it came to pass that when I picked up a copy of this game at a second hand store I had my long overdue... Read full review »

Pros Awsome graphics compared to the old X-wing and Tie Fighter. Better than XvT.

Cons The game graphics could be better.

Recommended it? Yes

X-Wing Alliance is a very fun game for Star Wars fans. If you like the old X-wing you will like this one. At the end of both games you got up againts a Death Star. Although in XWA you get to fligh into the second Death Star and take it out like in the movie. There is a new pilot proving ground... Read full review »

When I first heard about this game on a website I was determined to buy it. My first ever computer games on VGA graphics was X-wing and Tie-fighter. I loved both of these so I was hoping to love this new game as well. My first empressions of X-Wing Alliance was that, I, was in heaven. The beautiful... Read full review »

Pros Great controls and graphics. Variety of mission types. Good story.

Cons Last mission is impossible, even with god-mode turned on. Arrh!

Recommended it? Yes

The first thing you should know is that I am a long-time fan of the X-Wing series. I have played and beat the original X-Wing, TIE Fighter, the TIE Fighter Expansion pack, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. Therefore, my opinion of X-Wing Alliance might be just a little too kind, but, what can I say, a game... Read full review »

This is the best game ever made. You are in a movie that was never made, but the drama of this film could only be told through sheer interactivity to the point to where you're situation is the plot. Playing this epic is not describable, but I will do my best.

The first time I saw Star Wars at the ripe young age of seven, it swept me into its epic storyline and amazing action sequences.

X Wing Alliance is by far the best of the first person combat simulators that Lucas Arts has developed. With a story-line that follows parallel to the movie plot-line, X-Wing Alliance gives us a chance to follow one of two story-lines. The first, to be a Corellian, Han-Solo-like, smuggler or the...

X-Wing Alliance is the best space simulation game that Lucas Arts has come out with so far. It continues the admirable line of space simulations that Lucas Arts has produced.
