This Game Is Not Fun In The Loosest Sense Of The Word. The Controls are Shoddy at Best And The Graphics Are UnDesireable. The Story Is Incredibly Weak. Overall, A Horrible Game

Save your money-There are better Star Wars Games

This game is not worth the shipping you have to pay on it! You never leave your StarFighter and just blast people out of the sky with no other modes whatsoever. 2 player mode stinks beyond all reason. Camera angle stinks, game stinks. I love Star Wars, but this is one of their worst. Now, if you like jerky flying, space ship blasting, no ground support games, this game is for you. But, if you are in search of a better, smoother game with more fun flying than this one, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

GIANT step backwards

Preface: I Played Tie Fighter over and over again for months every time was different!
With Jedi Starfighter, I was Extremely dissapointed at the lack of ability during missions. The Jedi Force powers are really cool and some of the missions are decent, but I remember (and confirmed after firing up my old windows 98 system with Tie fighter) that In Tie Fighter there was A LOT more to a mission than just "shooting" stuff. The secret objectives in Starfighter are pretty dumb too. (nothing has come close to the secret "sith" missions in Tie fighter) Unlocking stuff in the game is nice, you get extra ships and it's nice to be able to fly the X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Slave I. (I won't go into the other worthless ships from the travesties that are episodes 1-3) Note: yea it looks cool to fly the Tie fighter and X-wing, but it's impossible to pass a large majority of the missions with any of the unlocked retro ships.(I thought the x-wings and the tie fighters were supposed to be "FUTURE" ships? shouldn't they have even BETTER Capabilities?) The story in Starfighter is pure garbage. (it was cool to see the Jedi Character in Jedi Starfighter die in Episode 3) Despite Jedi Starfighter's 0% advancement past Tie Fighter (I'd say they took a huge step backwards based on gameplay alone. . .of course the graphics are going to look better, but even then, they're not better by much.) I still find this game decently fun and nice for quick mindless action. (nothing to figure out, just try to target EVERYTHING and WOW you suddenly achieved a "secret" objective) The other extras aren't even worth unlocking. documentaries about one person's day at work, conceptual art for Jedi Starfighter, and rediculous plugs for other star wars games? PLEASE. I paid $5 for Jedi Starfighter, It was worth about that. I'll pop it in every once in a while when I need something easy after getting my butt kicked by Ace Combat 4 and 5. (LucasArts can't even TOUCH that intensity)

oooooooohhhhhhhyyeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you like games where it's hard to steer, and your'e in a ship the whole time, then it's a good game. But if you're like me and you don't, then don't even bother renting it. I bought it and returned it almost immiedetly. My brother and I love almost every video game, but this was one that we both hated. Don't, I repeat, Don't waste your money on this game.

Very Happy Info

If you can find one of these that isn't the same, then you're lucky. this one is fine, but nothing spectacular.

Boring.

This is nothing but another Star Wars flying game. If you've played any star wars game, you've played this. They're all the same.

Ho-Hum...

Being a Star Wars fan can be an expensive way to live your life- there are literally thousands of books, games, comics, and toys to choose from, and if you're on a limited budget like I am, you have to be choosey. There was a time when Star Wars games were the pinnacle of video games- back during the original X-wing, TIE Fighter and the first two Dark Forces games, Lucas Arts produced superb quality adventures with great stories. I think Episode I changed all that as the mad rush to cash in on new Star Wars movies opened the door to mediocrity. Instead of producing only a few titles, the flood gates were open.

Jedi Starfighter is very much a middle of the road kind of game. It is for sure heads and tales above `Battle For Naboo', but a far cry from TIE Fighter. The sequel to the initial Starfighter game, Jedi Starfighter incorporates a new story and the Delta-7 ship that Obi-Wan flew in `Attack of the Clones'. The story is ironically topical with modern day real life- the Trade Federation is in cahoots with a warlord named Captain Toth to produce bioweapons, leading Jedi Master Adi Gallia to investigate. The game also brings back the Fiorin Nym and his sidekicks from the original.

Game play is pretty basic- fly around and shoot things while accomplishing mission goals. Since you can fly several craft, you get a host of weapons other than lasers, but also swarmer missiles, depth charges, cruise missiles and little guided attack ships that surround your target and shoot at it. When you fly as Adi in the Jedi Starfighter, you gain the addition of Force Powers that you can use against enemy ships. A neat idea, but the execution doesn't really pay off and the abilities are not as good as the other ship's weapons. As an added bonus, when you progress you can unlock other ships like an X-wing, a TIE fighter and Slave 1.

Where it falls down is that the game is too easy. I could have finished it entirely in my first sitting had I not had other things to do. Even on Hard it wasn't all that tough, plus if I died, it was usually because I crashed into something and not because I got shot down. The challenge just wasn't there. It also became frustrating sometimes during missions because of the in-game chatter between pilots that moved the story along could not be overridden so that you could issue orders to wingmen. You would have to wait till they stopped yammering before you could order someone to attack or protect your target.

The graphics are so-so by Playstation 2 standards and decidedly sub-par for the PC. However, it rarely suffers from a low frame rate because of too much action o the screen, plus it's very colorful. Everything is well detailed, with well designed models. Explosions, like so many other games, are kind of lifeless. The sound is quite good, though Slave 1's weapons and engine noise are nothing like they were in Episode II. Also on the upside are a mess of extras that come with it like concept art and commentaries by the programmers, always a plus. This game is best bought as a Greatest Hits and not at full price.
