STAR WARS™ Starfighter™

Very good starfighter game!

Arcade-style space shoot'em up. Nothing fancy that makes it good. It works on modern hardware, but it has no graphics option, so it looks older than it should. Still, it is fun.

Good old fashioned star wars pew pew fun

classic game!

Game should take you no more than 2-4 hours. My game time is not representative of actual playtime as it both not closing when xd out of and taking breaks due to the final level. Version: Steam (PS2-based port) Score: 3/5 — Fun 2/3 · Mechanics 0.4/1 · Graphical Fidelity 0.25/0.5 · Story & Music 0.35/0.5 Starfighter is a side story wedged in just before and through The Phantom Menace, following a Naboo pilot, a Trade Federation-hired mercenary, and a pirate crew across a run of dogfight and strike missions. On PC it's the 2002 port of the original PS2 build, not the enhanced Xbox Special Edition, and it shows: even quitting doesn't cleanly kill the process — it keeps running in the background until closed via Steam or Task Manager. Flight controls are genuinely fluid — full pitch/yaw/roll, responsive boost and braking, no complaints there. The problem is what happens the moment you take a hit: a stunlock state you cannot act your way out of, full stop, with no tie to frame rate. Pair that with medium-and-up AI accuracy so precise it makes Perfect Dark's infamous cheating bot look fair by comparison — at least those shots could be dodged — and several stretches turn into surviving…

Goated game controls are great though I had to toggle with some of the controls to the keys not too bad still very playable with the controller as long as you toggle the keys you need in a more accessible place on the keyboard this game is awesome awesome story awesome combat immersive fun fun missions I 100% recommend playing this game 100% a thousand percent recommended I a 90000000000000000000000% recommend this game it's s0 flipping good
