Your mission: Use the Force to overthrow the evil Galactic Empire as they attempt to destroy the small rebel base on the jungle moon of Yavin 4 … If successful, a direct hit will cause a chain reaction that destroys the Death Star, thus saving the Rebel base from impending doom.
That’s just a little portion of the Intro text on the App Store description for the new Star Wars: Trench Run iPhone game. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, but this game based on that classic scene does look pretty compelling from the screen shots and trailer videos I’ve seen so far.
Some of its key features include:
- Force Power: Slow down time and increase your agility using the Force to bring TIE fighters into shooting range and to dodge obstacles while flying down the trench.
- Breathtaking 3D Experience: incredible 3D graphics based on the original Star Wars movie.
- Amazing Special Effects: Like lightning, advanced shaders, explosions and incredible life-like models.
- Original Music & Sound Effects: Combined with real movie footage for complete immersion into the Star Wars universe.
- True-Life Flight: Accelerometer controls with life-like physics.
- Multiple Points of View: Featuring both chase cam and cockpit modes.
I’m not adept at all at this type of game, but all of that sure sounds pretty good. If you’ve had a chance to give this one a go, we’d love to hear your impressions of it.
Star Wars: Trench Run is out now in the App Store, priced at $4.99.
