It's a better Star Wars game than it is an RTS, basically - I mean, you get to deploy AT-ATs. Empire At War was a bread'n'butter 3D RTS which included all the right beats for large-scale, inter-galactic Rebel vs Empire tussles, even if it never quite soared. Force Commander was an over-ambitious headache and Galactic Battlegrounds was a rather dull Age of Empires reskin. Making this list more because there isn't any better Star Wars RTS than because it's the Star Wars RTS we used to dream of.

You should probably also check out the Movie Battles II mod, a conversion which recreates key original trilogy fights in multiplayer, with the option to play as a vast cast of beloved characters who don't appear in the base game.

Notes: Runs well enough on modern systems, though you'll need to modify ini files for widescreen and HD resolutions. Also, Kyle Katarn was wiped out as part of Disney's scourging of the expanded universe, so you might as well play as a random newcomer who gets to choose their own lightsaber and power set. In the cold light of 2019 it's a more pleasant play than the traditionally more respected Jedi Knight II too, which despite having a stronger story suffers from some infuriating, pointlessly maze-like level design, as well as delayed gratification. The saber is ever-present and joyously lethal, not something that's teased out or underpowered, and in the right hands fearsome Jedi-fu is available.Īs Being A Jedi action games go, this hits most nails square on the head despite a certain clunkiness of interface.

Thing is though, that lightsaber combat is arguably the best we've ever had it, particularly in multiplayer (and the many mods which have spun out of it). Received somewhat suspiciously at the time because it all but abandoned the saga of Kyle Katarn (begun back in Dark Forces - see below) in favour of following an even blander but player-made rookie Jedi, and dropped the series' first-person shooter tradition in favour of third-person, primarily lightsaber-based combat.

There isn't much to it, but it's fast, it's careful and it's exciting, and it still makes me feel warmer towards The Phantom Menace than it deserves.Ī contentious inclusion, I know. The rickety, DIY look of the Podracers themselves is about as Star Warsy as the prequels ever got and hell, you get Jawas on mission selection screen.

And, if you want, you can repeatedly slam little "Ani" Skywalker into a wall at several hundred miles an hour. Even looking as old as it does, it's a thrill to boost through the canyons of Tatooine, on edge as engines catch fire or Sebulba rams into you, shocked at the abruptness of the explosion when you collide with the scenery. Racer is a simple game, and far from any kind of simulation, but it nails the sense of speed and danger from that scene.

Racer is an entire game spun out of the latter, set in a sort of alt-reality where Anakin told conniving old Qui-Gon to sling his hook and became a planet-hopping professional podracer instead.

The more restrained (Jar-Jar aside) Phantom Menace has far more physicality, and the two best scenes of the prequel series - the climactic Maul fight and the podracing scene. It's mostly awful, yes, but the other two are only more highly-regarded because they go out of the way to include copious fan service alongside their insipid love story and weightlessly unreal CGI overload. Popular opinion unfairly has it that Episode 1 is the very worst of the prequels. You won't convince us, though - Jedi mind tricks don't work on whatever kind of swamp trader we are. If your favourite game Star Wars game is absent from the list, hop to the comments not to yell at us, but to force-persuade your fellow readers into joining your side. We've had to be ruthless in order to whittle this list down to 10.

To look over the history of Star Wars games on PC is to look over the history of the PC itself, with multiple genre-defining games to choose from. What are the chances that it will live up to the very best Star Wars games to grace the PC, however? Here are our picks for the company Fallen Order should aspire to keep. There are reasons to think it might be more interesting than early trailers suggested, after writers such as our own Matt came back from a recent preview event with his pockets filled with (qualified) comparisons to Sekiro. After two boring-but-fine Star Wars: Battlefront games, we're now on the verge of EA's third swing of the lightsaber with the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
