... Careful reviewers dont ruin it for the new kids. Moving on - if you have played the first Star Wars Starfighter and liked it this one takes off right where the first one left off. Controls are very similiar and the graphics are better. A new co-op option is a welcome addition as well. If you have played this game and wonder if the first is worth playing don't hesitate as both games are 4.5 or 5's in my book and I am not a flying game fanatic. Sound is very good but dialogue is a little repetitive. It has a training mode that is easy to follow and doesn't bore you to death at the same time. Don't hesitate or worry about blowing the ... dollars to purchase it - you will not feel cheated. May the force be with you.

Rating: 5 [ Oh yes! ]

Jedi Starfighter rocks! The graphics are really cool and the story is easy to follow. The Force powers are a little hard to get used to, but after you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun being able to blow up 20 ships with Force shockwave. The bonus features you can unlock are great to play. And you can unlock tons of stuff. Different ships, levels, and funny videos. You can play any of the levels two player if you want. (which rules!) The re-play-ability for this game is excellent since you can get Bonus and Hidden objectives for each level and since it's so much fun to play, you can play the levels over and over. You should definitely buy Jedi Starfighter. It is absolutely worth the money. I loved it, but then I would love anything with Star Wars in the title! :)

Rating: 4 [ Star Wars Flavor big time fun ]

I never played the original Star Wars Starfighter so I cannot accurately compare the two games. I do know , however that Jedi Starfighter is a very good looking and fun game.
The graphics are the best thing that JS has going for it. There are over 40 ships from the relam of Star WARs (old and new). Their detail is great, and their flight patterns and movements are awesome. The coolest thing is the trailing afterburners of all the ships. Your ships lasers are very cool and they sound just like the lasers in Star Wars movies. The backgrounds are also very good pieces of artwork.
The story line in JS is set right after Phantom Menace but before the Attack of the Clones. Wlhat I really like about the story is that the writers did not try to make it like the movie, but instead set it in the world of George Lucas during a different time and place. This is smart! Movie plots are hardly ever accurately translated to game plots.
Another cool thing about JS is that you can play two players. There are five different modes for multiplayer, and get this you can play the regulary story based missions as a co-op two player journey awesome.
The story missions are the coolest to me, and you play as two different characters Adi Gallia(Jedi), and Nym who is a land owner fighting the seccessionist in Karthaak.
Like the first Starfighter, the game is not really a Star Wars game other than the flavor and the music.It is not like Rogue Squadron in that sense. But to me the controls and gameplay are better than in Rogue Squadron. You are not bound by a fake ceiling or bottom in mid-air. you have total 360 degree movemant in your planes. The weapons are ample and accrately done and Adi Gallia can perform force attacks from the cockpit.
Add to all of this the ability to unlock trailers and extra vehicles for multiplayer mode, and you have a very good game. I reccomend it to all Star Wars fans and to anyone who likes aerial shooters.
