Summary: Relatively fun, but horrible lockup/crash problems....
Review: Not the most complex PC game I've played, but I found what I was able to experience relatively fun for a fairly straightforward arcade-style starfighter game. Unfortunately, the game always crashes to my PC's desktop after 5-15 minutes without warning, and LucasArts' tech support has been a repeatedly frustrating exercise in futility. *All* possible problems via my (relatively high-end) system or a bad CD printing have been eliminated, and it looks like all the bugs simply weren't worked out before release. This wouldn't be the first time I've had such a problem with LucasArts games when they first come out. Not a bad game, but if you're looking at it, I'd recommend waiting for patches to come out and the price to drop some more. Otherwise, you're taking your chances with compatibility, etc. (Oh! Also, you definitely need a joystick or gamepad to play. Use a keyboard/mouse only, and you can't last 10 seconds.)

Summary: Lots of fun!
Review: Please disregard dszeibert and stomper1's reviews. You can configure the controls. The controls do make sense for anyone who's flown a flight sim before and the menus make perfect sense to those above the 80 IQ line. I found this game to be a lot of fun. The missions were challenging and visually impressive. It's very Star Wars in its space combat style, with a lot of laser sounds and a John Williams soundtrack playing in the background. The really great thing is that after you finish, there are bonus levels and ships, so it has high replayability. It's true that the flight control is simplified. There are only three speeds; normal, boost and brake. But hey, you're flying a Naboo fighter. If I wanted realism, I would buy an F14 sim. The only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of a Multiplayer option. That would have made this game five stars. In the end, the true quality of this game is the enjoyment you get by blowing up tanks, fighters and frigates, so I definitely recommend it.

Summary: The dream of the 80's has become a reality
Review: This is a fast paced action game with good graphics and sound. There are no complicated controls to figure out, so it is possible to get started without any frustrating delays. It has a variety of different settings, from canyons and planetary surfaces to deep space. The fact that you are taking on different alter egos is a bit unusual at first, but it only adds to the entertainment value in the long run. In the training missions you are being coached by a female, which might hurt the egos of some of the 'tough and macho' players, but I think it only strengthens the futuristic character of the game.
This is a great game for some quick boost of adrenaline. With a cup of coffee, this might be all you need to keep on working on your computer.I used to play video games back in the 80's, and this is the stuff we could have only dreamed of back then. So if you don't have too much time on your hands, or if you ever said that playing games is a waste of time, then this just might be your fix. (And it's healthier than pills).

Summary: Awful - Dont waste your time...
Review: Worst star wars game ever. I have played enough games to know the difference between controlling your ship versus rocking like a yo-yo. Nasty 2-D look and feel.

Summary: No Way, No More LucasArts Garbage For Me
Review: [....] Its bad, real bad. 3 ships?? No throttle control?? "Rogue Squadron type game" (meaning cheap graphics, slapdash programming)?? Yeah, I thought so. Starfighter is another piece of garbage with the words "Star Wars" slapped on it. The last decent space fighter game to come out that was Star Wars related was "X-Wing Alliance", and I have yet to see anything new that was even half as good as that game. I include the new Nintendo game in that list as well. I'm going to save my money and wait until a decent Star Wars game comes out for the PC, this ain't it.
