DESCRIPTION
Putting Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance into the Star Wars timeline, it takes place at the same time as The Empire Strikes Back and continues through Return of the Jedi. You play the part of the youngest son of the Azzameen family, owners of a shipping and storage company. Before beginning, you can name yourself anything, but throughout the game your character will be known as Ace.
The family business faces tough times as many of its competitors are involved in organized crime and include Imperial-backed conglomerates. Your family business is one of honor, but most others run theirs through bribery, corruption, deceit and thievery.
One of the companies backed by the Empire also happens to be your rival, the Viraxo family. While helping your family business survive, you will learn the skills of a fighter pilot. Eventually, Ace will join the Rebel Alliance and take part in the Battle of Endor.
X-Wing Alliance is divided into missions, similar to games such as X-Wing and TIE Fighter. After joining the Rebel Alliance, there are a total of nine ranks to be promoted through as you complete missions. During the game, there are a number of ships that can be piloted other than the X-wing. They include the Y-wing, A-wing, B-wing, Corellian transports and the Millennium Falcon. Multi-player modes provide players with a choice of 28 different craft (including Imperial ships). ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide

“Less of a sim than the prior games, it was still pretty solid. The skirmish mode in multiplayer is what made this one for me - I cared less for the singleplayer storyline, but it wasn't bad. Wish they would continue the series, though.”

“Good, if not great, game. Disregarding inertia makes for a mediocre space flight sim, but if you want to know what it's like to fly an X-Wing, an A-Wing, or the Millenium Falcon, this is your best bet. Joystick required, multiplayer possible.”

“Interesting plot line that lets you see where those pesky Bothan spies we heard so much about got their help. You get to fly a sister ship to the Millennium Falcon finally, but the feel from TIE Fighter just isn't there.”
