Probably. The problem with mouse is the laser towers part... sometimes you have to make an extremely fast move to left/right and then return back to center. The precision isn't there... and all mistakes in the video (trench run) were also caused by the mouse. The aim is pretty difficult because you have to use extremely high analog speed.
With yoke I can play this game as long as I want. There is no substitute for that. You can play the sequel, ESB with a mouse just ok though.
The price is quite greasy for just one game (I never cared for Return of the Jedi). Otherwise I'd already own one.
