 The single best star wars game. Ever, 2008-11-12
I have played most star wars games that have been made in the last ten years. Still, this game amazes me. No single flight simulator has gotten close to this game, even though it was made ten years ago. Yeah, I know, the graphics leave you wanting more, but if you can get past them, you'll realize how great this game is. there is just so much strategy in the flight system. Its also true, you will have to know and memorize about 50 separate key commands to get the most out of the game, but really is that so much? This game is worth it. Really deep story arcs. Realistically crafted missions. Great gameplay. Don't write this game off just because it is old. I went through the campaign this past summer, and enjoyed it as much or more than when I first played it.
Don't Pay Alot for this game, 2006-05-03
I think all the previous posts have said what needs to be said. This is a great game in the series that picked up where Tie Fighter left off.
If you don't have it, try to find it on an overstock website. You'll get it for 15 bucks new there, instead of paying the outrageous 75 that some people are trying to rip you off with.

Best game for even this timeline., 2005-03-29
What can I say? This game is absolutly the best of the best. The older X-Wing and Tie Fighters had choppy controls I think, and the option to litteraly play the mission from the film room took away. Why would it do that? Anyways, I've turned my head towards the flight sims of Star Wars, because I have been thoroughly dissapointed by almost every Jedi game. Dark Forces II and Mysteries of the Sith were great, but Jedi Outcast really took away the challenges. The only 3 Jedi games I'm actually proud of owning are Dark Forces II, MotS and KOTOR. But Alliance still flys rings around them. Graphics don't make the game, and this is the perfect example. Yes, an older game, but the replay value is always a 5. Different stuff happens, you don't just do the same thing over again. This game offers such a challenge that even I sometimes must flee from a battle. The only real problem I saw was in the Death Star, where either you had to be your slowest or probably had to have mastery of the force in your own body just to evade the obsticles. But overall, great game, and I wouldn't trade it in for a million dollars.
Star Wars X-wing Alliance, 2005-03-09
This is a great game, starting after the Battle of Hoth with the Azzameen family and ending with the Battle of Endor with the Rebel Alliance.There were so many types of ships, and different missions. It has great Chapters with bonus footage. Ilove it!

The Most Excellent Star Wars Game, 2004-11-16
I was a fan of the first X-Wing game, and, immediately purchased this game upon its release in 1999. The inclusion of the Battle of Endor at the end was the selling point. Ever since, I have not needed another computer game! The other reviews have pretty much spoken for the game's plot and basic features, so I won't comment on those. This game, despite its age, is simply one of the best flight simulator type game out there!
If there is one way to describe this game, its detail! From the complicated story, of which you feel a part of, to the 3-D ships, to all the stuff that happens in the missions it is simply incredible! In the heat of a difficult mission, I have often lost myself in the game, only to shudder when returning to reality!
There are over 50 different family business and Rebel Alliance missions. In these you fly YT-1300 (Milinium Falcon type) freighters, Z-95s, X-wings, A-Wings, B-Wings and Y-wings. Compared with all past games, there is alot of function. You can dock with capital ships, carry containers, operate gun turrets on the freighters and fly through space stations. Space battles are replicated down to the smallest details - sunglare, blast shockwave, large debris, even ejected pilots! You have the ability to communicate with the pilots in your squadron, and there is a variety of "comm chatter" that you get from them!
I have beaten the game twice (it takes a long, long time). The final treat is that you get to fly the Milinium Falcon in the Battle of Endor (the big space battle in Return of the Jedi), complete with a VERY challenging run through the Death Star's interior! Strap on your flight helmets...
In addition to the missions, there is a "flight simulator" section where you can review past tour of duty missions as well as create your own missions! Here you can fly most of the starfighters (Rebel, Imperial, Pirate, Civilian, etc.) see elsewhere in the game. There is a third "Pilot Proving Grounds" section where you can fly Rebel starfighters through a series of mazes and obstacles while competing for the best time. In between Tours, there are some excellent cut scenes. You also earn awards in the Rebel missions and gather various "souviners" during your family missions.
This review has gotten way too long and no one is going to read it anyways, however, X-Wing Alliance is a supurb effort put out by Lucas Arts Entertainment and is well worth the purchase!
