Star Wars: Starfighter - Episode 1 (PS2)

Star Wars Starfighter is a flight simulator on the Playstation 2 developed by Lucasarts . The games storyline ties in with Star Wars Episode one: The Phantom Menace so fans of that movie will like the extra plot. The game follows the adventures of three main characters, Vana Sage who is a mercenary, Nym a galactic pirate and Rhys Dallows a rookie fighter pilot.

You can control your ship in either cockpit view or third person, I usually go for the cockpit view ...  Read the complete review

The advanced secondary weapons are advanced proton torpedoes, these are good for an ...  Read the complete review

At last we get a look at Lucas Arts' first offering for the PlayStation 2. Since the cancellation of Obi-Wan for the PC, I've been starving for a really good Star Wars title. And like a lot of people, I've also been starving for a really good PS2 title. That's a lot of pressure to put on one game, but hey, this business isn’t for the timid. So, let's put Starfighter through the paces... If you've played Rogue Squadron on the PC or N64, you'll be in familiar territory. The game is set just before (and over the course of) the movie The Phantom Menace. Three pilots with different backgrounds find themselves caught up in the battle ...  Read the complete review

Starfighter is a the latest epic LucasArts title to be released, and with the recent batch of sub-standard Star Wars Episode One releases, you?d be forgiven for wondering why this should be any different. Think again. Blasting onto the powerful new PlayStation2 console, Starfighter brings Space Combat sims to the new superconsole with a bang. The game sports slick, highly detailed graphics with gloriously rendered locations from a variety of exciting Star Wars locations, from the canyons of Naboo to the volcanic world of Eos and the lush pirate home world of Lok. The game puts you in the shoes of three distinct characters- Rhys Dallows, a rookie Naboo starfighter pilot, ...  Read the complete review
