I picked up Star Wars: Dark Forces recently as part of the Star Wars humble bundle. I actually remember playing this game when it first came out.
In brief, it was one of the better Doom clones. Not that it was better than Doom but because it tried to do something different with the Doom formula. Rather than just running around a map killing everything, you actually had specific missions that you needed to complete.
Despite this, I never actually finished the game so I was fairly excited to load it up so I could give it another run through.
The game itself was first released in 1995. And unfortunately, it shows.
Playing this game really shows how far FPS games have developed over the last 2 decades. Possibly, if I had completed the game in the past, the nostalgia value may have been enough to make me keep playing. Unfortunately, I got bored of the game really quickly and uninstalled it after two levels.
Worth mentioning though that I did enjoy the game when it first came out.
Also makes me wonder - would I enjoy Doom if I played it now?
