P.S. to LucasArts - The Xbox has 4 controller ports and LAN capabilities…

The best version of this game lives on the Box - accept no substitute.

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.

The action is intense and immersive, and the Star Wars theme carries the game along nicely.

The 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.

Armchair Empire
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]

Another Lucasarts game that cashes in on the Star Wars franchise name. Fortunately for us, it’s a good game.

It's almost like a copy of a copy of a copy which leads to an inevitable breakdown in quality.

The starships have now landed onto the Xbox, but the force is rather weak for some reason in this one.

The 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.

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.

You don't really face any hard-to-kill adversaries until you're well into the 16 missions. [July 2002, p.126]

Game Over Online
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.

The 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.

Though 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.

The lack of improvements or additions upon the PS2 version really hurts it

There'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]

With 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.

Weighs in a tad too light, and can be readily explored in a long weekend. [Fall 2002, p.118]

While 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.

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.
