The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A guided Star Wars thrill ride that puts you in cockpits and corridors with little room to breathe, propelling you forward through staged action sequences that feel like an interactive movie.

About

Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire is the sequel to Star Wars: Rebel Assault. This time, however, the story is not related to the original movies. The story opens in the vicinity of the Dreighton Nebula, where Rookie One is investigating disappearances of Rebel spacecraft near Dreighton, a region rich with mythology about vanishing spacecraft. Rookie One responds to a distress call coming from a ship in the nebula. Once there, he discovers an Imperial presence. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the Empire is somehow responsible for at least some of the more recent disappearances.
