Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - Fantastic game, my roommate had a Nintendo gamecube and we wore it out playing this.
Star Wars Galaxies - great Idea for a game, with that said the graphics were terrible and I couldnt play it because of the MASSIVE lag issues
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic- Both of them were good but could have been so much better if they had gone more in depth like a Final Fantasy game.
Star Wars: Battlefront- both battlefronts were interesting for what they were, a quick little first person shooter
Lego Star Wars- horrible, couldnt get more than 10 minutes into it
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed- great game, finally a game were it wasnt awkward to use force powers in active combat. needed to be longer was my only complaint.
Star Wars: The Old Republic-  The trailer looked awesome. I really want to play this game, I just dont have a PC right now. My laptop is a piece of junk, and to even attempt online gaming with it would be folly.


The Force Unleashed 2 is coming out next month, I'm gonna get it for my 360.

The Knights of the Old Republic was by far the best.  I tried to goto the dark side but couldn't do it.   I felt so guilty about the things I had to do to be evil.

+1 to it being the best, with honorable mention to Tie Fighter.

Dark Side was a ton of fun...max wisdom stat and force lighting (eventually becoming force storm?) everything...actually that kind of broke the game...



Republic Commando had a ton of promise.  Why wasn't there another game made like that?

Force Unleashed was fun, but some of the force immune guys + lightsaber being more of a giant glow stick than a laser/plasma sword bugged me.  IMO, the Jedi Knight games were better.

ETA:  Why can't they make a good 4x (similar to Master of Orion) Star Wars game?!  Rebellion had some depth, but broken (absent) AI and lackluster space battles.  Empire at War had no depth; strategy was just an illusion - at least there were controllable ground battles, even if poorly implemented.  The real time aspect of the strategic map ruined it.

Read the reviews at IGN & Gamespot.  Apparently doesn't live up to the 1st one, which itself wasn't great OK but repetitive.  I really hate what they've done with the use of the light saber compared to the orginal JK series.  I esp. liked the way 'Academy' gave you a choice between single/dual/staff saber(s), & I kind of hoped they'd continue with that.  But, no - you get what they want to you to have, & it's dumbed down to a button-mashing routine.  LA design choices in general seem to have evolved from the depth of their original titles to more of a mass-appeal simplicity (called 'accessibility' in the industry).  Ever notice how people are practically begging for more flight games in the vein of 'X-Wing' or the 3rd-view 'Rogue' series, & yet they just keep churning out 1st/3rd-person button mashers?  LA is run by bean-counters & marketers anymore.  Used to be one of the most creative studios in the industry.

I've heard that 'Old Republic' is in serious trouble.  The art style already threw me with its weird/cheap look, but now it's supposedly behind & (WAY) over budget.  Scuttlebut is that it's millions in the hole, & everyone (incl. Lucas himself) is freaking out.  I'm guessing they probably wanted a 'Star Wars-craft'-kind of game but got too bold with the requirements.

Agree 100%

I've heard the same thing.  I'm only looking forward to Old Republic the same way someone looks forward to the beatdown at the end of a chase on Cops.

TIE fighter was the best of them all.


Man speaks the truth.  I've played many a star wars game, and I still remember Tie Fighter fondly as the best.



Anyone remember the Star Wars: Rebel Assault FMV rail shooters in the olden days of Dos.  Those were a hoot to play through.
