Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Battlefront is also an example of a good Star Wars game.

Because Nintendo doesn't aim for the same market PS2/XBox aim for, and doesn't have necessarily similar capabilities to those two.

DrSpike, you left out the best Star Wars game of all time !!!

Tie Fighter is the best ever Space Simulator, as far as I'm concerned, as well as a bunch of reviewers (as far as they count, which isn't far )... XWvsTF and XW:A are pretty much identical in capabilities (although XWA has the advantage of Win2k compatibility ), yet came out years later. TF was such a huge upgrade over XWing, and if it ran comfortably on my computer i'd play it now, if I weren't too lazy to run dosbox.

Thought I said Tie Fighter, though Battlefront slipped my mind. It really was an off-the-top-of-my-head list to combat the incorrect point that was made.

Star Wars has actually done pretty well over the years in game terms, as I've shown, though that is admittedly quite unusual for film tie-in games.

Get in there Spike!!!!, he's on the ropes and in trouble, finish him off!!!!

Nah I'm done now.

Nobody can verify everything him or herself, you know. The game reviewers frequently write stuff like the following:

Star Wars games certainly are a mixed lot. For every Starfighter, there's a Demolition, and for every Galactic Battlegrounds a Force Commander. When LucasArts gets it right, the results can be stupefying. When the publisher gets it wrong, well … let's just say you'd rather be sponge-bathing Jabba.

Lest we forget, here's the Star Wars hall of shame. (And I didn't include all the games with a 7.5 and under...)

Bounty Hunter (Gamespot gave it a 5.5/10)

Obi wan (Gamespot gave it a 4.6/10)

Force commander (Gamespot gave it a 6/10)

Rebellion (Gamespot gave it a 4.5/10)

Gallactic battlegrounds: clone campaigns (Gamespot gave it a 6.4/10)

Phantom menace (Gamspot gave it a 4.3/10)

But yeah, maybe I exagerated a bit. But I still think Star Wars games are mediocre on average.

One of my favorite games is Jedi Academy. Fantastic, IMHO.

True, but when you parrot others' views you run the risk you can't defend them, as happened here.

Yes, you did. And I don't think you even represented the views of the reviewer correctly. He is saying there are many great games and many crap ones, not that they tend to suck.

There are many great Star Wars games.

You, Sir, are truly a Jedi advocate. That'll teach me about making a casual comment about an issue I don't really care about.

Jeez, what the hell does that sentence mean?
