A decent game with great graphics but one of the primary characteristics of this game that ruined it for me is the glitches.
Whenever the screen displays Mission Success or Mission Failed, the screen jumps and on many occasions, the camara angles are out of control. During a few missions, spacescrafts turn upside down and it is somewhat difficult to get it back into an upright position.
Not long after the Dreamcast was released, I found glitches in a Ready 2 Rumble game: the opening menu began to move independently and out of control. I exchanged it for another that did not have the same problem.
As with that one, I exchanged my first copy of "Starfighter" for another with hopes that the same thing would not happen again. But was not successful.
Overall, the graphics for this game are decent considering what can be rendered by the PS2. But the game play becomes a little redundant and even after entering codes, the glitches take away from interacting in the Star Wars universe. If you are an individual that can overlook the negative aspects of this game,are looking for a moderately priced title, and are a Star Wars fan, then this game is for you. Otherwise, you should probably just save your money and wait until November 2002 when one of the next major Star Wars titles for the PS2 will be released.
The Force is with this Game!

Few Games on the PS2 at this point have been impressive. I can proudly say that Star Wars Starfighter is one of better ones. It is AWESOME!! The controls, the graphics, the music, the fun factor....it is in there. This is one of the most impressive Star Wars games I have played to date.
There is a nice variety of missions, which include Land Based and Space Based missions. The cinemas are pretty cool too.
Bottomline, Star Wars Starfighter is pure eyecandy, with excellent graphics, sound and gameplay. If you are a Star Wars fan, and own a PS2, you owe it to yourself to buy this. If you are a PS2 owner looking for a great game to buy, Star Wars Starfighter is the game for you.
This game will make you want to play hookey from work or school. At least it makes me want to!!
Highly Recommended!!
ALMOST PERFECT!

out of all the star wars game every made this ranks up there with rougue squadron as one of the best. visually the game is top notch, finally theres a game worth the money out for ps2. My only complaint is that the game is somewhat simple, and there are to few missions, but that aside right now this is the best game available for ps2...well worth the money a must own.
Just Plain Awesome

Just got back from the Metreon where LucasArt's had at the launch party StarFighter. One word sums it up this game. Stunning. Everyone on the team should be proud of what they have made. Explosions, backgrounds, light effects are simply amazing. And this is just looking over everyone's shoulders. There's so much detail flying around space, canyons, hangers. The line to try it stretched out the door so I didn't get my time at the controller. However, just being at the rollout event almost made up for it. Camera's were everywhere capturing the moment. Guys dressed like StarWars characters walked around. And the LucasArts people that made the game were there answering questions and signing autographs. While in the background you could hear that so fimiliar sound track playing from the StarFighter game. The only thing that was disappointing about was not being able to take a copy home with me. Oh well, my copy is on it's way.
Amazing, but WAY! too short

Within 5 seconds this game pulled me in. The ships are amazing the combat spectacular and the story exciting. For once even some of the characters are really cool, the alien ones of course. Overall this game is really amazing. Some of the missions have so many enemy ships flying around it really is incredible to see.
The problems with the game are a couple of stupid missions. The cliche canyon run is so over done as to be utterly dull. Every Starwars game has a canyon run. And the other cliche, the fly inside a ship. They don't even make any sense. The space missions were the best and gave the best feel of flying a starfighter.
But the biggest problem is the game is totally short. 2 hours of play and I had finished. 2 hours and it's all over. Just when things seem to be getting exciting it's over.
Overall it's a good and fun game. But it's length is a real drawback. They are on the right track. But not there yet.
Best PS2 game to date

Fabulous graphics, great replay ability. Three modes - easy, medium, and hard. Earn medals by completing bonus goals. Earning medals in specific missions unlocks other ships and missions. Easy controls and cool sniper view. A must have for any PS2 owner.
