It got an 8/10.

Most importantly, with the addition of a more Jedi-enabled Luke, the series finally feels like Star Wars instead of just looking like it. Although newer games using newer technology may have stepped on its toes regarding the Hoth sequence, the rest still packs a fantastic 2D platforming experience and, like Mark Hamill, Super Empire Strikes Back hasn’t aged one bit.

Is this guy trying to make a bad joke about how poorly aged the game is? Or is he just bogging his review down in contradiction with a bad attempt at colloquialism?

He is refering to a terrible joke from Super Star Wars' review.

I cannot see how someone could like this game more than the first one. The ridiculous difficulty in this game really takes away from the fun.

It was a rock hard game i agree but after playing it through a few times i liked it. I always thought of it as being the harder one of the 3 as the characters in the films went through some of the toughest moments in ESB. For some reason the old mags always gave Super Star Wars the best rating of the 3
