Pros of the game:
-Great use of the original Trilogy license
-Impressive cabinet with great tech that stops people in their tracks, blocks outside noise with the enclosed cockpit style
-Sharp 60fps graphics powered by Unreal Engine 3
-Great sound quality (surround)
-Good action
-Fun Darth Vader level unique to the game
-Arcade exclusive

Cons of the game:
-Doesn't use all of the tech that came with it (camera)
-Leaderboard setup is poorly handled
- No consequence for Mission Success or Mission Failed, you have to pay to continue regardless
-Gameplay sometimes feels like a glorified roller coaster, with weird physics
-Dismal attract mode that has too many moments of just black, no leaderboard, no Star Wars crawl
