Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter has been on my to play list for as long as I can remember and this was me only getting around to playing it. For a PS2 game it plays pretty well albeit quite basic. I played up to mission 4 and then threw in the towel after dying at the end of the mission causing me to start the mission all over again. It’s not a bad game. I just can’t be bothered having to replay a whole mission because I died, plus I thought that the game isn’t going to offer me much more than it has already.

The game has nothing on the Rogue Squadron series which I grew up with. In that game you really felt a dynamic range of movement with your ship. Rogue Squadron also had amazing music and the ability to select from many ships from the Star Wars franchise at the time.

Again, it’s not a bad game. Quite enjoyable, it just doesn’t do anything to stand out or be a game that excites people that don’t have nostalgia for it. Rogue squadron at least had a lives system for missions where as this game sends you right back to the start and, “Ain't nobody got time for that”
