Might I remind you this is the game that finally combines using the Force and starship combat, a concept that is so cool it could chill all the beer at five consecutive Oktoberfests.
-
P.S. to LucasArts - The Xbox has 4 controller ports and LAN capabilities…
-
90The best version of this game lives on the Box - accept no substitute.
-
88The action is intense and immersive, and the Star Wars theme carries the game along nicely.
-
88The Starfighter games for the Xbox simply feel faster than they do on a PlayStation 2. The speedy Xbox hardware simply offers a more realistic feel of what it's like to engage in aerial combat.
-
Besides being fun and challenging (it’s not insane challenge all the time), it’s got a variety of different mission types, the solid controls are easy to learn and use, the graphics and sound are well done, and the two-player co-op mode makes for an entertaining experience.
-
Gameplay is king. Starfighter has it in droves. I wouldn't recommend this game for those of you whose lives don't revolve around Star Wars. It's a game for geeks. That's it. [June 2002, p.82]
-
83Another Lucasarts game that cashes in on the Star Wars franchise name. Fortunately for us, it’s a good game.
-
80It's almost like a copy of a copy of a copy which leads to an inevitable breakdown in quality.
-
78The game offers a great ride while also telling us a little more about the inner stories of Episode II that were not mentioned in the movie.
-
The starships have now landed onto the Xbox, but the force is rather weak for some reason in this one.
-
One key improvement Jedi Starfighter makes over the existing Xbox Starfighter game is in the realm of multiplayer. It doesn't have a system link component per se, but finally, someone has included a co-operative component throughout the entire story campaign.
-
You don't really face any hard-to-kill adversaries until you're well into the 16 missions. [July 2002, p.126]
-
I know that you can't mess with the timeline of the universe, but it would have been nice to see a little more freedom within the layout of the game.
-
74The Jedi Starfighter feels more graceful and precise than the classic starfighters like the X-Wing or even the Tie Fighter, but maybe I was just feeling the Force...yea right.
-
Weighs in a tad too light, and can be readily explored in a long weekend. [Fall 2002, p.118]
-
The lack of improvements or additions upon the PS2 version really hurts it
-
70While it's not the prettiest Xbox game out there, let alone the best-looking Star Wars game, it does offer good control and entertaining gameplay.
-
70There's enough in here to entertain for a while so give it a whirl, just don't expect it to be playing it when "Star Wars Chapter Nine: Jedis Get Laid" arrives on the silver screen. [XGamer]
-
70Though the implementation of combat-enhancing Force abilities is a welcome addition to the sequel, overall the game lacks depth—mostly because by now we should expect more intricate enemy-A.I. routines.
-
70With a combination of good characters, good graphics, good sound and good levels I think it’s safe to say that this is a good game.
-
From a pure enjoyment standpoint, Jedi Starfighter is incredibly sterile and lacking any of the feeling and fantasy that the Star Wars series offers – plus it’s virtually a carbon copy of the last one.
