Item - Rescue in the Core

This book begins Ryder Windham's second story arc written for this series. Windham's works are generally longer than Dave Wolverton's, so the book seems a better value for the money, but its storyline isn't as interesting as some of Wolverton's better ones. The book isn't bad, though; the story and setting are both nice changes of pace, and the game design is fairly solid. The biggest problem with it is that it only really makes sense if you play as Jar Jar Binks; the gamebook just wasn't really written with Boss Nass in mind. Apart from this flaw, my only major gameplay complaint involves a sequence in which levers are randomly pulled; during this section, different random events can potentially happen repeatedly, but these events don't always make sense occurring more than once. The rules should probably have addressed this issue in some way.
