    Packs so much action and excitement into its story that it's easy to forget its flaws. [PC Format]

    The single-player campaign alone is inspiring enough to warrant picking up this space shooter. [Apr 2002, p.84]

    An unpolished, but solid, port of a good console game.

    It’s quick, inexpensive fun that will be forgotten the moment you uninstall it.

    The disparity, however, between this title and the great classics that LucasArts used to create is too great of a void to disregard.

    Passable entertainment, just keep in mind that it's meant to be a light action game. If you're like me though, you're hungry for a true starfighter sim like you played in the glory days of the X-Wing series.

    The box art is new! Otherwise we're left with a console port minus multiplayer features or anything in the way of enhancements for a technically superior gaming platform.

    This game is by no stretch of the imagination a masterpiece but it nonetheless gives you the feeling of being an awesome starfighter pilot inThis game is by no stretch of the imagination a masterpiece but it nonetheless gives you the feeling of being an awesome starfighter pilot in a Star Wars movie. It has a pretty original story that only partly connects to Episode 1 and has not really any particularly good or bad parts. You get to fight as three different pilots/ships in battles mostly against the Trade Federation both in space and on the surface of some planets. I played the game both with keyboard and joystick, and I must say that the controls are working fine. All in all there is not much about the game that stands out in any way, just a short fun ride if you can pick it up for a couple of bucks.… Expand

    I've played this game many years ago. And gameplay looked too difficult for me & my friends.

    Menu system and controls suck... graphics is pretty cool but needs to be more like original tie fighter in gameplay and usability.
