In honor of the DVDs coming out next Tuesday (09/21), what is your favorite Star Wars game of all-time for any console or PC?

For me, it's:

 

[Prospero]

The original X-Wing, with the expansions. Good times.

I put a good deal of time into that ray-traced Star Wars game from back in the day as well.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

KOTOR!!

 

[SantaC]

Super Star Wars.

 

[Tabris]

Hmmm.

I would probabaly agree with your choice (thread starter).

 

[Deg]

TIE Fighter. Simmy flying game.

 

[Joe]

the star wars game ive ever played...

 

[The Bookerman]

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

 

[open_mouth_]

I have lots of favorites:

SNES Star Wars trilogy
Jedi Power Battles (DC)
Obi-Wan (Xb)
KOTOR

 

[AirBrian]

Was TIE Fighter the first SW game where you played as the Dark Side? I remember when that came out -- good times.

 

[AniHawk]

KOTOR, then Super Star Wars trilogy, then Rogue Squadron.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[FnordChan]

Yeah, okay, so this is the nostalgia talking, but isn't that what Star Wars is all about in the first place?

FnordChan

 

[Ristamar]

SNES Star Wars Trilogy (with Empire being the best of the bunch)

I haven't played KoTOR yet, even though I own it.

 

[8bit]

Use the force, Luke.

Though the first level of Rogue Leader deserves a mention.

 

[6.8]

TIE Fighter. Simmy flying game.

You speak the undeniable truth.

 

[AeroGod]

Considering everything...

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy

A decent story, likeable characters, cool levels, and good saber combat.


However, KoToR has the best storyline, characters and whatnot. Im not a big fan of the gameplay though.

 

[SteveMeister]

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

And its expansion pack, Mysteries of the Sith.

 

[robot]

Knights of the Old Republic...but before that it was Rogue Squadron.

 

[buck naked]

1) Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight + Mysteries of the Sith
2) TIE Fighter
3) KOTOR

 

[Cimarron]

KOTOR
Jedi Knight II
Pod Racer

 

[FoneBone]

Star Wars & ESB arcade games were awesome.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

FnordChan, 8bit, y'all rock!

It just ain't the same playing the game on MAME w/o a flight yoke :/

 

[SpoonyBard]

TIE Fighter Collector's CD
Rogue Leader & Rebel Strike (Rebel Strike is not as good, but it has some nice missions)
The original Star Wars arcade.

 

[commish]

In honor of the DVDs coming out next Tuesday (09/21), what is your favorite Star Wars game of all-time for any console or PC?

For me, it's:

You are correct sir.

 

[yoshifumi]

knights of the old republic
shadows of the empire

 

[Diomedeskun]

X-Wing Collector's CD
Rogue Leader
Dark Forces (never played the later games)

of course, my most played were probably Rebel Assault 2 and Shadows of the Empire. My best experience overall was using a level editor to create X-Wing missions. I never found any editors for any other games in the series, although the custom battle option for Alliance had some of the fun.

 

[radios shipping overview]

TIE Fighter.

 

[distantmantra]

Knights of the Old Republic
TIE fighter
Star Wars (Atari arcade game)

 

[Musashi Wins!]

KOTOR. It was so good that it actually got me re-interested in the world Lucas created.

 

[golem]

tie fighter for sure

 

[Vennt]

Definitely X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter on the PC.

My first lug-the-PC-round-to-my-mates-and-lets-LAN-baby game, as it was well worth the hassle.

 

[Baron Aloha]

In honor of the DVDs coming out next Tuesday (09/21), what is your favorite Star Wars game of all-time for any console or PC?

For me, it's:

IAWTP

 

[Ronin]

Super Empire or Episode 1 Racer.

 

[Meier]

Too tough to pick just one... Shadows of the Empire, X-Wing vs. Tie, Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight II...

 

[Prine]

knights of the old republic
shadows of the empire

Same here.

KOTOR best starwars and RPG i've ever played

Before that, it was Shadows of the Empire. I bought it with my brand new N64. Loved it, Dash Render? I think that was his name, i loved the fact that you were Hans good friend. You get to see the millenium falcon take off as you were tryng to escape Hoth, nice step into the trilogy there. Both stories interconnecting.

 

[SA-X]

Rogue Leader
Shadows of the Empire

 

[hobbitx]

My all-time favorite is a tie between the JK series and oddly enough, the japanese SW game Namco made for NES. Out of all the games I've played that had lightsaber combat, that one little NES game convinced me I was holding a saber more than any of the newer games. The sabers really had a cool, thin, slick look unlike those glowing baseball bats from the Snes games, and it glowed like a real saber, and it made the coolest little sound. It wasn't the best SW game by any measure, but for me, someone who has always enjoyed the movies from the Jedi perspective, I loved playing it. Too bad it never got a sequel, at least I think it didn't.

 

[nubbe]

Star Wars Galaxies

haha I kid, I kid

KOTOR
X-Wing Alliance
Tie Fighter

 

[Odysseus]

Knights of the Old Republic (leader by far)
Episode 1 Racer

 

[teepo]

tie fighter, dark forces2: jedi knight and kotor.

best of all 3 genres.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Tie Fighter and Star Wars KotOR.

 

[Ghost]

Tie Fighter (i thought X-wing sucked)
Super Star Wars
[gap]
KOTOR
[huge gap]
Shadows of the Empire (despite some sucky sections)

 

[Falch]

 

[Ristamar]

You'd take Rogue Squadron over Rogue Leader?

 

[shibbs]

Havent played many but id say KoTOR

 

[Falch]

You'd take Rogue Squadron over Rogue Leader?

Yep.

It's probably just some feeling of nostalgia, but I never was able to enjoy Rogue Leader as much as Rogue Squadron. I guess flashy gfx only get you that far.

I do remember though that the camera in RL was much more 'fixed' on the craft than it was in RS. Perhaps that's just my imagination though....

Hmm. The 'chase cam' didn't pop up as much in Rogue Squadron (if it even had one, I don't remember). That certainly makes the camera seem less jerky.

 

[StrikerObi]

1) Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
2) Knights of the Old Republic
3) Shadows of the Empire

 

[firex]

KOTOR even though I thought it was vastly overrated.
