Besides it being rather sort, this game is great. Even better if your a starwars fan.

The graphics are amazing, you seriously feel like your flying over Naboo.

I wish I could have got out and walked.

here is a game that had potential , but dont waste your money. The controls are horrible and unresponsive and the training levels seem to last forever. Not much pay-off in thisgame for all the patience it requires. Do yourself a favor and get jedi knight 2 jedi outcast.

great graphics

Worst star wars game ever. I have played enough games to know the difference between controlling your ship versus rocking like a yo-yo. Nasty 2-D look and feel.

boring....

i don't buy may games, just ones dealing with star wars. i know it says star wars on the the box, but i felt like i was playing any generic space-based video game.

don't get this if you want a star wars experience.

Ugh

Godawful. Hokey, naturally - that's forgivable. But I found this game extremely annoying from the beginning. As rudimentary as the game's menu system is, they still managed to make it obnoxious and unintuitive. But the big sin is that there is absolutely no option to configure the controls. This might be acceptable if the controls made any modicum of sense, but they don't. Down goes up, up goes down, etc. - you can't control it. Nitwit programming. Also, as is typical of this sort of quality game, your ship has no inertia, no feeling of real flying. The propeller heads at Secret Level (the actual maker of the game), understand neither good interface design, good controls, nor even reasonable physics. ...

No Way, No More LucasArts Garbage For Me

[....] Its bad, real bad. 3 ships?? No throttle control?? "Rogue Squadron type game" (meaning cheap graphics, slapdash programming)?? Yeah, I thought so. Starfighter is another piece of garbage with the words "Star Wars" slapped on it. The last decent space fighter game to come out that was Star Wars related was "X-Wing Alliance", and I have yet to see anything new that was even half as good as that game. I include the new Nintendo game in that list as well.

I'm going to save my money and wait until a decent Star Wars game comes out for the PC, this ain't it.

Does not live up to the Lucas Arts Reputation...

I bought the game at Walmart for 9.99. I've always been a fan of Star Wars and Lucas Arts and decided to buy it. It wasn't a mistake, but it certainly isn't the best game ever.

GOOD THINGS
The sound effects were absolutely incredible (It's a trademark of Lucas).
The graphics were relatively good!
The game play was a perfect level of difficulty.

BAD POINTS
Can you say S-H-O-R-T? It was only like ten levels. I beat it in about four days.
The story line was kind of weak.
The ships kept changing and you had no control over which one you flew.

All in all, I don't suggest buying this game. It's fun, but there are other Star Wars games that are better.

Great new entry in the Star Wars combat sim category!

If you loved Rogue Squadron but were disappointed by Battle for Naboo, you'll enjoy this title. You fly three great ships from the Phantom Menace era, plus Lucasarts has continued their excellent tradition of offering bonus missions and craft. The graphics in this game are generally very good, with explosions and effects that are much better than Battle for Naboo (however, those with high standards will notice that some explosions, particularly on the surface missions, look decidedly less realistic than the ones in space). Still, you'll enjoy the speed and power of these ships, although the joystick implementation could have been better (for example, you can't control your speed with the throttle and I am constantly correcting for roll). The cutscenes and game immersion elements are superb, as is the voice acting and general continuity with the Star Wars universe. Although it's not a long game, it's well worth it considering the extras. (Another note: the strategy guide that has been published for this title is for the PS2 version. I don't know if the cheat codes work with the PC version).

The dream of the 80's has become a reality

This is a fast paced action game with good graphics and sound. There are no complicated controls to figure out, so it is possible to get started without any frustrating delays. It has a variety of different settings, from canyons and planetary surfaces to deep space. The fact that you are taking on different alter egos is a bit unusual at first, but it only adds to the entertainment value in the long run. In the training missions you are being coached by a female, which might hurt the egos of some of the `tough and macho' players, but I think it only strengthens the futuristic character of the game.
This is a great game for some quick boost of adrenaline. With a cup of coffee, this might be all you need to keep on working on your computer.I used to play video games back in the 80's, and this is the stuff we could have only dreamed of back then. So if you don't have too much time on your hands, or if you ever said that playing games is a waste of time, then this just might be your fix. (And it's healthier than pills).
