Zach’s review of the original:
Well, here we have a new start up screen. It's based off of the Clone Wars cartoon series. The author could have improved this by making new buttons, or even new sounds. But he didn't. Not even annoying sounds that only go click, or ones that scream out ''boom headshot''. None of that. So all you're left with is a new image to drool over as you click a button. So anyways, if you really want a new start up screen, then you might want to try this.
Is this any better? Well, I didn’t like the artwork or colour scheme of the original, and as this is practically the same, it follows that I'm not a fan of this version either. It's nice to see that the author took Data's suggestions under consideration though, and added sounds for this version. I don't think they work as menu noises - they're just various vocal samples from the films, but who am I to judge, anyone thinks differently. Oh wait, I'm a reviewer. Doh. So I guess you want my opinion. Yes, I can hear you people coughing under your breath. ;)
Aside from the news sounds, the central buttons now have a solid background colour. You can read the menu buttons better, but it also blocks out the best part of the artwork behind, so there's really a double-bladed sword thing going on here. Better or worse? It’s hard to tell.
