Tell me a story

Thresh:
One of the many highlights of X-Wing Alliance is the plot. The story of X-Wing Alliance is engrossing from start to finish, as the developers did a superb job of integrating the plot with the actual game play. One of my pet peeves is when you're playing a game that seems to only advance the plot line through intermediate cut scenes, while the actual missions seem detached and unrelated to the story. You won't get that with X-Wing Alliance. The story line meshes with the actual missions and gameplay, resulting in a more satisfying and engrossing gameplay experience.

Making a dangerous flyby

You start off as the youngest child (named Ace) of a trading family, the Azzameens. After all the hours you've spent in the flight training simulators, your father has finally given you a chance to fly some real missions in the family spacecraft. You start off with a couple of easy missions flying wingman for your older brother and your older sister, quickly working your way up to more dangerous missions with your entire family. Eventually you get recruited into the Alliance as a hotshot pilot, and work your way up through around 50 missions until the final, climactic battle of Endor where you must penetrate and destroy the Death Star.

Darn Imperial Star Destroyers!
