It is a time of chaos in the Empire. Rebel factions strike from hidden bases, pirates plunder unsuspecting civilian spacecraft, and traitors plot behind the Emperor's back. You, a rookie pilot in the Imperial Navy, must rise to action for the glory of the Empire and the good of all mankind.

The player's character is unnamed (however, in sources outside the game, name is Maarek Stele), but features such notable Star Wars characters as: Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and even Admiral Thrawn from the books.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter is somewhat of a sequal to Star Wars: X-Wing, however this time the player is the "bad guy." With various objectives ranging from destroying pirates and Rebels to flying wingman for Darth Vader himself, TIE Fighter offers a great deal of enjoyment for those who love the Star Wars universe.

Gameplay involves managing your weapons/engine/shield (if available) systems while dogfighting enemy spacecraft or attacking larger capital spaceships. Additionally, missiles are limited (if even available), so must be used carefully. Because this is the side of the Empire, the fighters you will be flying initially are very vulnerable to damage. Two or three hits to your TIE Fighter and you're toast, and destroying shielded enemy Rebel fighters in such a craft can be challenging.

Mission objectives are crucial to completing stages of the game, and advancing the storyline. Additionally, there are optional bonus objectives, which influence the secondary advancement in the Emperor's secret order.

You start as a volunteer in WWII fighting with the british and French, then move on to other campaigns of the war such as Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy (D-Day), North Africa, and even a bombing raid on Tokyo. It's more of an arcade type game, with in air repairs, unlimited ammo, and simple commands, but it's fun and challenging, and there's plenty of unlocks through the campaign and even in arcade mode, and Ace Duels with AI opponents in the same type of aircraft you're flying.

The Mutiplayer is where this game shines with several modes like Co-op, and duels, or simplay to see who can down the most aircraft. It's a fun title, but don't buy it new. Pick up a used copy and enjoy the game, as this title isn't for everyone.
