I don't belive there have been playable demos of this game yet, but the original (on PS2) was a nightmare. The only good thing is that part of the problem was the terrible grpahics, which can be fixed on the xbox. The only problem is that the gameplay will need to be more diverse and entertaining, and most starwars fans will be looking to Star Wars: Rouge Squadrine 2 by the time this comes out, which plays like a masterpeice. If they do improve the title, it still might not be too good.

Fun, but not the starfighters you are used to

LucasArts has cleaned up the graphics and upped the framerate of this game to 60fps, making it a huge leap over the PS2 version. However, one thing gamers may dislike is that this game does not focus on the "classic" space fighters you may be used to like the X-Wing, Tie Fighter, etc. If you can get around that, you will have great fun with this title.

Maybe great, but.....

Sure the graphics and gameplay may be souped up from PS2, but want me and most other people seemed to be more excited about is Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 on GameCube. The consoles cheaper and the game (RL) is a better game.

Not really special

Whats so special about this game? Well, nothing really. Its not bad. I mean I really liked the PS2 edition. I was really hoping they would improve on the Xbox version alot and they, uh, didn't. It's fun with good graphics and controls though. If you own the original then you might want to just skip this one. If not then go ahead and buy it.

I this game stinks compared to Rogue Squadron 2. Rogue Squadron has better graphics, entertaining, and more fun then Star Wars Star fighter. If you are a true star wars fan and want a great flying game by Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2.

Is that all you people do... Gripe?

Please guys you all need to actually play the game through before you review. You must look at all aspects of this solid fighter. This is game is great with stunning graphics and great gameplay and in depth missions. The added two player is also great (with many modes of play). This is a true XBOX game and should/will be a flagship game. So if you want a XBOX but can't decide on a game to go with it go with this or DOA3.

Forget Rogue Squadron 2!

Well, don't forget it - Rogue is excellent, but let's just say you will be more impressed with the XBOX/LUCAS standards that surround Starfighter. In addition, it's not all about the graphics, it is a tight game that keeps you on your toes. Challenging, yet lighter than previous, so virtually anyone can mater the controls within a few games. I would recommend this for a holiday present for males ages 9 and up...or if you are a Star Wars fan - this is good game to add to your new collection on XBOX

Great Game

This is a awesome game! Its got great graphics and good story line. You almost feel like you are in a Star Wars movie because of the cut seens. I played Rogue Squadron 2 also, Starfighter is better. When you [engage] enemy aircraft they go down in different ways such as blowing up, break apart or going down smoking/in flames. In RS2 all they do is blow up.
Bottom line great game. If you like Star Wars you better get this one.

One of the Best Star Wars Games in Years

I had my doubts initially about this title with all the hype about Rogue Squadron 2. But after having played them both this is the nearest you can get to total immersion since Lucas Arts released Tie Fighter. Rogue Squadron 2 doesn't hold a candle to the truly cinematic graphics that are only possible on a system like the XBox. Don't whine Nintendo owners, The GC just isn't powerful enough (and yes I do own one, my kids love it, I don't have time for it). I just can't wait until Lucas Arts do a game designed specifically for the XBox Hardware (remember this is just a PS2 port with better graphics and more missions) my mouth waters at the thought!
