Star wars supremacy ace game i still play now, particularly multiplayer nothing like thinking you've defeated the empire, and are just mopping to jump into endor find a massive imperial fleet with a death star than then proceeds to go on a rampage. though the Xwing and Kotor games are close second.
Jedi Outcast/Academy hands down. I tried top play Dark Forces but it hasn't stood the test of time very well, fun for the story (both lore and game wise) but outdated.
I can honestly say I have played Jedi Academy upside down, inside out, good side, evil side, hard, easy, medium, piss easy, one lightsaber, two lightsabers, kickass Darth Maul lightsaber, any bloody way possible and It still doesn't get old. Think about it, the lightsabr is both esthetically and functionally the ultimate weapon, it offers intense close combat without crippling you in range combined with force powers it is a very simple but still awesome way to kick ass. Jedi Academy puts it to the max, there is everything you want in a Star Wars game, sure the story sucks (speaking mainly of Jedi Academy, Jedi Knight/Outcast was alright, but haven't played them as much) but the awesome gameplay makes up for it twofold. Only bad thing was that the light/dark side choise came in so late and so obviously.
KotoR was great, but not because it was Star Wars. I see it as a completely different game, even though set in the Star Wars universe it didn't feel like Star Wars, it didn't milk off the movies, it stood awesome by itself. Too bad the story went from brilliant to messy in the second one
Battlefront is an awesome concept but it's crippled by an awful multiplayer community, maybe it is just me (never liked FPS communities at large)but almost all servers played the same map and were packed with germans who refused to speak English. And singleplayer is not that fun
Still, it makes a good LAN game if your i play with fellow Star Wars geeks.
Podracer was actually kind of fun, underrated in my opinion.

The X-Wing/Tie Fighter series are my favourite, they're pretty good games and I grew up with them. They're the first PC games I ever played. Since I was around 6 at the time I was obviously not very good at it, but I still loved it. X-Wing Alliance is one of my favourite games of all time.
The only other Star Wars game that comes close is Knights of the Old Republic. The story was great, the action was repetitive but for some reason never got old, and the final level was decently challenging. The only issue I have with the series (and what prevents it from being my favourite) is the second one. It was rushed, the ending was terrible, all the other characters except for Kreia, Mira, Hanharr, and G0T0 mysteriously disappear, and the enemies didn't really give you a sense of malice or urgancy like the first one did. You also kill them all off within moments of each other, again making the ending seem rushed. It had its moments, but they were few and far between.

Heh, I remember those. I only got to play the first one though. I think the main reason they're so hard is the lack of a save slot. You have to do it all in one sitting or else start over again. The farthest I've ever made was when you're inside the Death Star (I was playing as Han) and I got stuck at the boss at the end, some giant robot thing. After it killed me I was stuck with the lousy pistol, and after that the fight became basically impossible. Lots of temper tantrums and thrown controllers resulted from that game, but for some reason it never stopped being fun.minoes post=9.71567.730244 said:
I went for Jedi Knight but I'd also toss in a ballot for the X-Wing/Tie series as well. Those were some great space sims back in the day.
I picked Republic Commando, but Battlefront and KotOR were both really close. Battlefront would have been on the top for me, but then I remembered all the screwups they made to the second one.
If you havent played either game you should get the first one, it's just better.Revelo post=9.71567.729559 said:
KOTOR was fun in its way, but KOTOR 2 was just piss easy - the first game I played light-side first time through and was able to pretty much walk through anything with the shear amount of buffs I could throw around. For me most of the fun I've had in the SW universe was on my N64 in rouge squadron and pod racer. Just full of fast-paced balstery/racy goodness in a time when graphics were a secondary concern to most people.
Never did like the jedi knight series much, and when Academy turned out to be EXACTLY the same as the previous game (Outcast?) that I owned anyway I just lost all interest. Huh, thinking about it, for all that I like the SW universe, I've not really got into their games much. Perhaps because mods know their audience better than corporations do...

Being a Star Wars fan, I like all of the choices, but my two biggest choices are Rogue Squadron(Played it since I was six) and Galactic Battlegrounds. Both games were the building blocks of my gaming "career".
But SW:TFU hasn't even come out yet, so why is everyone pronouncing it "Dead-on-Arrival"?

You kids and your save slots... why, when I played Star Wars on my NES, we died from touching ANY monster and we had exactly three continues! And another thing... *rambles on*Xalmar post=9.71567.730468 said:
Agreed though, that game was bloody hard. I don't think I ever beat it.
KOTOR, definitely. But there are some other great ones - Republic Commando, Battlefront, and X-Wing/TIE Fighter back in the day. And there's a pretty good one not among the choices - Rebel Assault I & II. They were just rail shooters, but they were fun.
I think The Force Unleashed looks awesome (although I'll admit I haven't played the demo). In fact, I'm getting it at a midnight release tonight! I can't wait.

I voted Battlefront series. I love Pandemic (but why couldn't they play Mercenaries 2 atleast once before releasing?? Why!?!?) and I usually don't play many Star Wars games, those are the only two I really played thoroughly. And they're like the Battlefield series, which I also love. Win-win. Except for Mercenaries 2. Why, god, why??
