sci-fi

I have an XBOX and have had one since the 15th, I Love HALO, PGR, DOA3, MADDEN. I was hoping for a little more from LUCAS. This is a fun game but its does not have all that Lucas could be doing for these games. This game should have delivered so much more and is in no way a reflection of the XBOXes full potential. Yes, being a Star Wars Fan, I had to have this game, yet it has been a small let down. I gave it a four out of five more graphics than playability. It really is about a 3.8/ 5 but I get tired of seeing all the fake reviews prior to this last week when the game came out. Don't beleive half of what you read on these reviews. Try this games yourself, rent them first if your resistant. But overall XBOX is the real thing and I am looking forward to Lucasarts to deliver a true XBOX game in the future.

This special edition of Star Wars Starfighter adds some nicely done bells and whistles to the original PS2 release (can't remember when that one came out, maybe a year ago?), including better graphics, tighter gameplay, new levels, etc. You play as one of three pilots and blast your way in your spaceship to the final confrontation.

Everything from the Star Wars world is in the game, in both graphics and sounds. It's an immersing experience and one you don't want to put down until you are down. (Warning, though: if you are like me you'll get motion-sick quickly so it's better to take breaks! Still, the game is worth it.)

One thing on my wish list is for the graphics to be even better. I don't think the game right now takes full advantage of the Xbox's processing power. That's a pity.

The game concept is ok, the actual interface and screen readouts leave much to be desired. What is that twirling arrowhead in the lower left corner, and how do you use it? Cumbersome at best. The game also suffers from having to reload every time you restart, which is often until you get the hang of it.
