Really? Better than KOTOR? Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight? X-Wing vs Tie Fighter? Rogue Squadron?

Big Star Wars fan here. I'm looking forward to complaining.

Give the guy some credit. He already admitted that he enjoyed Super Star Wars. Masochist.

I was just playing Shadows of the Empire yesterday, which came out before any of the prequels, and all I could think about while playing the junkyard level was how much more star warsy this 64 bit game felt compared to the prequels. It's all about the world. Lucas made this huge deal about a "used world" when he made the originals, and then threw all that out with pixel perfect CGI in the prequels. Part of me thinks that was a conscious decision to make the pre-empire world feel cleaner, but meh. We'll see if JJ can manage a better blend of old and new (I'm sure he can)

I liked Force Unleashed II better.

Republic Commando is kinda over-rated imo.
Need to revise my favorite Star Wars games:

1. Shadows of the Empire
2. The Force Unleashed
3. Super Star Wars
4. Kotor 1
5. Episode 1 Racer

No, but the graphics look like Doom on the PS version!

They look like Doom on the PC as well. Which makes sense considering it came out before Quake.

Rate your favorite Star Wars games (preferably the ones you own).


Now!

I'll go ahead and say that much like the movies, Super Empire Strikes Back is the best of the snes trilogy.

Easy for me:

Rogue Squadron: 8/10

Unleashed: 8/10

Rebel Assault: 5/10

I'm probably overrating RA, but there is something I like about that quirky game that I can't put my finger on. And I have the gimped MegaCD version as well
