Techno Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Remember the pre-EA star wars games? Stuff like KOTOR, Unleashed, Republic Commando. I've been going on a retro rebound of sorts and want to see which I should buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) One of my favourite Star Wars games is a PS2 game called Star Wars Jedi Starfighter, sequel to Star Wars Starfighter. As the names suggests, it's a flight combat game that's heavy on story that can be played as a single player or cooperatively. The game is set at the same time as Star Wars Episode II and tells a parallel story where you switch between (as player one) two different characters. First a Jedi council pilot named Adi Gallia and a Feeorin pirate (and protagonist of the previous game) Nym who form a reluctant alliance to take down a dangerous mercenary group working with the Trade Federation and Separatist movement to unleash a new weapon of mass destruction on the forces of the Republic. The story is more action packed, memorable and relatable than the movie it's part based on with a variety of the mission types and craft to fly (especially in co-op) and with objectives that vary depending on the difficulty setting and between single player and co-op modes giving more replay repay value than you might expect. The game is a joy to control whilst still offering a fair challenge with decent voice acting and follows the Star Wars movies very closely is terms of look and style with good graphics for it's time. There's even a multiplayer that probably won't hold up well to modern standards, but it is fun if a bit basic. It's one of my favourite games under the Star Wars brand and I find it's often overlooked and very underrated.

Kane99 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I didn't play a whole lot of Star Wars games back in the day. I played one of the Battlefront games back on the PS2/Xbox maybe. And maybe one of the Phantom Menace games on the PS1, but that's really been about it. I tried my hand at those Force Unleashed games, but couldn't get into it.

Empire Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are fantastic games. They are a mix of first-person shooting and third-person lightsaber action and the lightsaber battles are probably the best lightsaber battles in any video game. These might be the Gamecube games thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Knights Of The Old Republic on the original Xbox will forever be one of my favorite Star Wars games of all times. The original Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 were also excellent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErdrickPlisskin Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Jedi Knight 3 Jedi Academy was one of the best lightsaber combat Star Wars games I've ever played. It had everything back then for multiplayer.. Had custom skins, RP servers, competitive servers.. Everything. And the single player content was so good you can create your own Jedi and pick either light or dark side.. I wish we had something like this today with a refined lightsaber combat system like that.

My favorite next to the OG Battlefield games on the PS2 by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, most of them didn't get the publicity that more modern Star Wars games have gotten under EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I played unleashed it was good though not my best pick but you can still have a reasonable time exploring the world around you in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
