I can't imagine paying 5 figures for a game that makes you throw up after 10 minutes of play.
It is pretty rad for a couple bucks in an arcade though.

How much actual game is there really to this? Twenty minutes? Thirty tops?
I went to Dave and Busters randomly yesterday for a work "going away" party. First time there... pretty bleak for gaming, but they did have SWA:BP!
I played one game and have no idea how much it cost. Played the easy stage, first attack on the Death Star. There are a lot of controls that don't feel like they do anything. So I killed some Tie Fighters went into a trench.. shot at Vader... torpedoed to port and Game Over.
Yay!! Never going back to D&B
Thereabouts. But you pay per level, you can't just keep going until you die, and playing more than two levels in a row would probably be a bit much. I was pretty woozy and I'm not especially susceptible to motion sickness, but the sense of motion in this game is intense. It really feels like it's moving.Quote:

It's kind of easy compared to Sega's SWA Trilogy, but I think Namco cut the difficulty to make up for the high cost per credit. Understandable. The non-canon Vader mission does ramp up the challenge though.

I played this yesterday. I don't remember the last time a game raised my heart rate like that. It was cool to have that intense type of arcade only experience even if the gameplay itself isn't very deep. But yeah, its a bit too dizzying to play long.
Turns out the D&B a couple minutes away from me has this so I played through most of it. The projection is shittier than I expected but it was a pretty nifty experience that was a bit dizzying with the view so close.
Almost a shame it's already been completely eclipsed technically thanks to the full motion simulator paired up with Battlefront, but that'll never see the light of day for any of us anyway.
It really is a blast. The first time you play it and hit the exhaust port is amazing. I don't like playing more than one level at a time though, due to the dizzying effect you mentioned.
There's a D&B right by my apt, I need to swing by it and see if they have this.
