    The visuals are astounding, the challenge is incredible, and the action is nonstop. [Nov 2001, p.140]

    It's everything a Star Wars game should be -- exciting, entertaining and breathtaking.

    A visual and aural masterpiece. The game has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a next-generation game including bump mapping and 480p support on the visual end, and five channel surround sound via Dolby Pro Logic II on the aural end.

    The combined package of beautiful graphics, intense action (including force-feedback rumble support in the controller!) and familiar Star Wars ditties all work together to create an immersive, outstanding experience from beginning to end.

    The game falls short of putting you in the cockpit. The whole idea of a dogfight is non-existent. The enemy crafts move too quickly, abandoning any thought of pursuit.

This game along with many other early titles forThis game is a prime example of Nintendo riding a huge wave right into the Gamecube launch. This game along with many other early titles for the GCN are a highlight of Nintendo's success between the late 90's and early 00's.

    This game displayed the Gamecube's great graphics and the controls were also incredible. There were great stages, all of which are aesthetically pleasing.

    While the game's concept is one that was already proven on the N64, it was still loads of fun in 2001-2002 and is still loads of fun today. It is far from being the most innovative early GCN release but it is brilliant to say the least.    … Expand
