The in-game models, landscapes, lighting and explosions are all in keeping with the Star Wars galaxy, and the engine is no slouch either.

The long missions require a lot of patience, but not as much as you needed to sit through the movie.

A definite must-have for fans of the movies and action junkies, pick this one up at your next opportunity and I'll guarantee you a good time.

It's a really fun game with a great challenge and fine graphics for its time.

The controls are extremely hard to grasp, but once you get it the game is fairly rewarding. This is the game that made us forget about Jar Jar long enough to appreciate The Phantom Menace, but it is not perfect. But, hey if you can grab a copy at Disc Replay for $3 who cares?

Great game. I called this the "Rogue Squadron" of the PS2. The story was also good. Hope this game series is restarted and/or remade for next-gen consoles.

The graphics are breathtaking. After minutes of play the real world around you just seems to melt away...May many, many hours of great gameplay be with you!

One the best space shooters that has been released on PC or console and in the Star Wars universe or out of it. It has a similar feel to titles like "Colony Wars," "Rogue Squadron," and the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter games, but on a much larger and more polished scale.

One of the most visually stunning games for the deuce. This, coupled with engrossing arcade gameplay, kept me coming back for more. It's a must-have for your PS2 library.

While Starfighter could have used a little more polish in both departments, the game presents a compelling story, excellent presentation, and gameplay that will surely satisfy fans of LucasArts' N64 shooters.

Somewhat of a mixed bag - the game has frenetic shooting action and decent control, but it's mediocre mission design and short length make keep it from the greatness of such predecessors like "Tie Fighter" and "Rogue Squadron."
