Reviews for XWA-TC 9

| | Well, the storyline was .... thin to say the least. The missions themself were well made and really challenging. If you try to get them finished on hard, be prepared to throw your PC out of the window pretty soon. All in all the battle was fun to fly. That's why I'd give it a 3.5 rounded down to 3. |

| | With a good storyline and countermeasures, this could have been a great battle. But, it was a little disheartening getting continuously blown up in the slowest fighter ever, by missiles that I could barely counter. Other than that, the battles were pretty nicely made. The other bad part was the storyline. Ouch. I couldn't follow anything that happened. This probably would have been better as 5 free missions instead of a battle, because the missions are completely unrelated.

| | Its a good battle but the storyline can be better.

|
| | Wow. This is THE most challenging mission set I have ever flown. If anyone in this organisation can complete every one of these missions on hard, they deserve a bigger medal :) Excellent missions, but not having countermeasures on a recon craft (like you said the Toscan was) is nuts.

| | If I would be perfectlly honest, the third mission sucks :/

| | Mediocore. The mission leaves you hanging and by the last mission, I'de forgotten who Kusangi was. And it boggles the mind why he/she (can't remember) would dump (let's call Kusangi "it") it's entire complement of TIEs. Then, you got to fly in the worst craft in the SW universe and constantly dodge missiles while flying pointless missions. And worst of all, IT'S THE RELENTLESS! AGH! It's the single most over used Star Destroyer in the EH!

| | Pretty good battle. Storyline had great ideas, but needed to be developed a little more. Lots of shoot-em-up segments, and that's always a plus! GOOD use of the Toscan Fighter! Looking forward to a follow up!

|
| | Well, outside of the TO Comp, the battle itself is rather standard....
|
| |
|
| | nice Battle! (original not?)
|

|
| | Flying in Toscan Fighters was a nice change of pace, but it got a little old after a while. Overall, though, this was a very good mission.

| | The storyline seems to "drift away" after mission one ... it's hard to explain. But a healthy dose of storyline MIGHT have helped me to figure out just what the heck I was doing in a stupid Toscan Fighter during missions 2 and 3. Does the Training Office often stick new cadets into a Toscan Fighter and laugh as they are destroyed? I can see the conversation now : "Yeah, I've got a great idea. We're gonna stick these cadets into the bulkiest, slowest fighter we can possible find. Then we're going to refuse to give them countermeasures, so we can sit back and laugh as every stupid missile within 20 clicks homes in and blows them away." Yeah. It sounds really entertaining until YOU are the poor sap in the Toscan fighter, wondering WHY the Empire refused to give you countermeasures today. If this sounds appealing to you, then by all means, play this battle.

| | A few bugs, but the main problem is the stupid Toscan fighter! The T/Ds at the end almost make up for it, but missions 2 and 3.... Any craft where you have to manually change your laser convergence distance has got to be some POS that is embarrassing to fly.

|
| | Hehe , I made the last 2 missions easier as a reward for flying the icky Toscans so much >=P
|
| |
|
| | Yay Relentless!
|
| |
|
| | Well , good storyline but I would prefer to grill those traitor , hehe . Anyways good battle , good storyline and the only thing is some missions are a bit too easy to beat .
|
| |
|
| | I *hate* Toscan Fighters. or anything that resembles or is a rebel craft, for that matter. =p
|

|
| | New XWA battles are always fun, but this one Rules! I recommend that all XWA enthusiasts give this one a fly.
|
| |
|
| | Well-structured, well-plotted, well-paced, well-designed battle. Infact, just about everything else prefixed by "well-". Apart from "well-crap" that is. Because it isn't. And because that wouldn't be proper English. No, it just wouldn't. What was I saying again? Oh yes, play this battle. Play it, and love it.
