Wonderful game, not just another flight simulator.

I had already mastered Star Wars Rogue Squadron when I got this game. Starfighter is much better. It is very realistic. You get recharging shields, and only one life! That is a real pro for me. You don't get the unrealistic business of your x-wing crashing and resurrecting. However, the recharging shield I mentioned earlier makes you as hard to beat as in games where you have 3 lives.
P.S. I actually got the PC version, but it's basically the same.

Hard to control

This is my first PS2 game, and only for 2 hours I found that it is hard to control, and sold it to a second hand game store...

Tons of fast-paced fun, with SECRET EXTRAS!

First of all, this game is VERY enjoyable game. As play begins, you are assigned to perform a variety of combat missions with normal and bonus goals. Depending on how many bonus goals you score, you can unlock various secrets that you can find elsewhere, but what would be the fun at that?

A previous reviewer gave the game a lower mark due to its lack of multiplayer capability. Guess what? It's in the game. You just have to EARN it.

This game will please any Star Wars fan or any fan of platform flight sims. It's also a great display of the PS2's graphics capabilities. I recommend that you buy this game immediately.

Well I just got back form my local EB with Starfighter in tow. Put it in my playstation and was blown away. I didn't stop playing it for 4 hrs. It is definetly the best platform based star wars title ever and possibly the best ps2 game so far. Smooth graphics, killer sound, amazing explosions, and really simple easy-to-learn controls it definetly deserves a 5 star rating. It also has a great story line where you follow three new and original characters complete with there own ships and there own problems with the trade federation. It is really a great game and well worth 50 bucks. I really can't say enough about this game except you need to go and try it for yourself.

Excellent Game

I am absolutely amazed by this star wars game. I was expecting a great game, but the graphics are just incredibly beautiful. The game play and effects are amazing as well. I would recommend this as a must have for any PS2 owner.

Star Wars Starfighter is a Phenomenon

Overall, the graphics are great, the story seems original and the characters are fun. The wingmen commands are great, being able to fight alongside other pilots. Its levels are very well-designed and quite extensive. It expands on the Star Wars universe very well. Its shortcomings are the dogfighting action. Its flight modle is not great. You don't feel like you are really flying. It seems you are floating with speed. It could have used the flight model as Rogue Leader (one of the greatest space combat games ever!). The last level is very disappointing to me. I was expecting something like a military like attackprocedure kind of thing. Not a flimsy attack with a few Bravo squadron pilots and just about forty droid fighters. I was expecting like 20 naboo pilots and hundreds or at least some high number of droids. Lucasarts could have made getting revenge on a pirate scum a mission just before the last level on some other mission. All in all pretty nice game but because of the flight modle, the fun wont last. When you turn it doesn't even ban, just turns like its on ice or something. Really disgusting flight model. I got this game years ago (2001?) and is reviewing now becuase of bordeom, I have no life.

To tell you the truth, I disapprove of this game. I like the graphics, yes, but I strongly sugggest one of the other Star Wars games. It isn't very fun because of the difficulty of dodging enemy fire. The level in the desert is my favorite. Other things that I like are how it is:
(1) in third person
(2) starship weapons
(3) nice graphics

I suggest that Lucas Arts puts in squad-based air fighting or make the game a litle easier and longer. Still, I am a big fan of Star Wars. Good luck on the next game Lucas Arts!

this make good

I currently own about 7 PS2 titles and this is one of the only
games I have purchased that I didn't bother going very far with.
It is very repetitive and there just isn't enough to do. I find
it hard to believe that it has such a high rating. I am 37 and I recently let my 25 year old friend play it on his PS2 and he felt
the same way as me... pretty weak game. Not very fun at all. It is not something you will rush home to play and get engrossed with.

Lucas Arts Does It Again!!!!

This is one of several must buy games for the PS2. It delievers in all areas: Graphics, Sound, Control, and Gameplay. First off the Graphics recieve a 10 out of 10. I was breathless when I played the first mission. Everything is rendered beautifly. The fighters, terrian, and ships have amazing detail. The vsound is great recieving an 8 out of 10. Good sound effects and voices from your wingman are nicely done. The voice acting on some parts is pretty bad, combining dialoge that makes you wonder who wrote this. Controls on the other hand are fabulous. Recieving a 9 out of 10. A little confusing at first, but after you get the hang of them the fit this type of game perfectly. The overall Fun Factor(Gameplay) recieves a 10 out of 10. You won't be able to stop playing the missions until you un-lock everything. If you own a PS2 get this game. Even if you hate Star Wars, you won't regret getting this game. Sorry for any mis-spelled words.
