unsatisfied [Posted on 2003-04-07]
here is a game that had potential , but dont waste your money. The controls are horrible and unresponsive and the training levels seem to last forever. Not much pay-off in thisgame for all the patience it requires. Do yourself a favor and get jedi knight 2 jedi outcast.

Lots of fun! [Posted on 2003-06-07]
Please disregard dszeibert and stomper1's reviews. You can configure the controls. The controls do make sense for anyone who's flown a flight sim before and the menus make perfect sense to those above the 80 IQ line.

I found this game to be a lot of fun. The missions were challenging and visually impressive. It's very Star Wars in its space combat style, with a lot of laser sounds and a John Williams soundtrack playing in the background. The really great thing is that after you finish, there are bonus levels and ships, so it has high replayability.

It's true that the flight control is simplified. There are only three speeds; normal, boost and brake. But hey, you're flying a Naboo fighter. If I wanted realism, I would buy an F14 sim.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of a Multiplayer option. That would have made this game five stars.

In the end, the true quality of this game is the enjoyment you get by blowing up tanks, fighters and frigates, so I definitely recommend it.

great graphics [Posted on 2003-07-20]
it is an alright but incredibly short game of about 10-15 levels. there however is flawless graphics and gameplay. the storyline is ok but could be better, only reccommended for diehard Star Wars fans like me

Awful - Dont waste your time... [Posted on 2003-09-30]
Worst star wars game ever. I have played enough games to know the difference between controlling your ship versus rocking like a yo-yo. Nasty 2-D look and feel.

Does not live up to the Lucas Arts Reputation... [Posted on 2004-01-07]
I bought the game at Walmart for 9.99. I've always been a fan of Star Wars and Lucas Arts and decided to buy it. It wasn't a mistake, but it certainly isn't the best game ever.

GOOD THINGS
The sound effects were absolutely incredible (It's a trademark of Lucas).
The graphics were relatively good!
The game play was a perfect level of difficulty.

BAD POINTS
Can you say S-H-O-R-T? It was only like ten levels. I beat it in about four days.
The story line was kind of weak.
The ships kept changing and you had no control over which one you flew.

All in all, I don't suggest buying this game. It's fun, but there are other Star Wars games that are better.
