| Using only
regular sectors, the author has taken the time to create some new
and interesting features in this
level. | This is probably one of the more
imaginative levels out there. Rather than stick to regular plots and get
bogged down by running the player through the same old stuff, the author
jumps outside the boundaries and lets his imagination run wild. I find the
plot particularly liberating, because since this doesn't take place in the
Star Wars universe, but rather in the computer, the author can do whatever
he wants, put whoever he wants in, and just basically let loose.
The level takes place in a house, and the author has recreated several
of the standard things we might find in a regular house. Of course houses
don't usually have secret passageways (there are a LOT of secrets in this
level) but we can assume that's the Jedi Engine in effect. The Engine
seems to enjoy mutating aspects of our everyday life into things from Dark
Forces. The dog is an interesting interpretation; I wonder what Boba Fett
used to be! One of the more enjoyable things about this level is that the
author has managed to create some very interesting things, like trees, a
computer, and more using only the Jedi Engine. There are no new 3DOs, or
FMEs. The tree in the picture is a good example of what can be
accomplished. I enjoyed trying to figure out what different parts of the
residence used to be.
The best thng to do with this level is just to walk around and see what
you can find. There are lots of interesting things in here. I won't spoil
it by describing all of them; you can download the level to see for
yourself. |
I
really had fun while playing this level. There's no reason to stay within
the guidelines of Dark Forces or Star Wars when doing stuff like this, and
the author really seems to have a great time here. I suppose he might have
added a few new things to the level, but I enjoyed it just the way it is.
I hope there might be a few more levels like this in the future from
different authors.
