Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The sequel game, Jedi Starfighter is such a vast improvement it's not even comparable. This game is not fun. Story isn't interesting, characters are mid. Seriously just go out and play Jedi Starfighter.”
“This game invites players to take control of iconic starfighters in the expansive universe of Star Wars. Even for the time, while its faithful rendition of ships and environments is praiseworthy, the experience is marred by clunky controls…”
