plot is a thinly veiled rehash of the original Star Wars film. He also argued that the gameplay is too limited, likening it to "a movie that requires you to move a stick around and press a button at certain points until you get to see more of the movie." PlayStation version Reviews for the PlayStation version praised the use of the film scores and the graphical enhancements over the PC original (particularly the polygonal ship models and the greater full motion video quality), but criticized the loose controls and low difficulty, and typically commented that while the game offers a variety of scenarios and gameplay styles, none of them offer any real depth or excitement. GamePro, however, gave it a laudatory review, citing the variety of stages, the quality of the cinematic cutscenes, and the clean graphics. Dan Hsu of Electronic Gaming Monthly called it "a very glamorous, very pretty game that drops way short of delivering any true gaming satisfaction", while co-reviewer Sushi-X remarked, "I would like to know how unskilled LucasArts thinks we gamers are. The first time I sat down to play RA2, I beat it." A Next Generation critic said that "while it trades in the PC version's digitized sprites for polygonal spacecraft, alas it's still the same mundane game." GameSpot recommended, "If you're a Star Wars fan, your money is much better spent on the Star Wars Trilogy videotapes or tickets to the big-screen director's-cut re-releases."
