leXX Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 10. Lego Star Wars 9. Rogue Squadron II 8. X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 7. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast 6. Super Star Wars 5. Rogue Squadron 4. Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 3. Star Wars Arcade 2. Knights of the Old Republic 1. TIE Fighter Source Agree, disagree? What are your Top 10?
Jae Onasi Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 What? No Empire Strikes Back for Atari? I probably wore that cartridge out, I played it so often. I'd put Kotor at the top, of course, with TSL second.
IG-64 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 TIE Fighter is rightfully at the top. Notable omissions, however, are Shadows of the Empire and Jedi Power Battles. Edit: Dark Forces isn't on there either. I guess it's fair to pick one from the Jedi Knight series to represent it as a whole, as they're all pretty good. Jedi Outcast seems like a good choice.
Jeff Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Too many games from the same series on there. There are tons of Star Wars games and more than 10 good ones. But I guess what can you expect from IGN.
Mav Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 I would have went something like... 1. TIE Fighter 2. KotOR 3. Rogue Squadron It's lame that Star War: Episode I Racer wasn't on there, though.
Boba Rhett Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Hey, I liked Yoda Stories. Where in the world is Jedi Knight?
BongoBob Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Seeing as I've never played TIE Fighter *ducks* I'd have to say that KotOR is the best Star Wars game. TSL doesn't exist to me because of how much of a cockslap the incompleteness of it all was.
acdcfanbill Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 yoda stories was awesome, if you only had like, 15-20 min to play there was an indiana jones game like it too which was also decent.
Alexrd Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 While Racer was good on the Nintendo 64, the official movie game for Phantom Menace was particularly dreadful. No, it wasn't.
BongoBob Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 No, it wasn't. I'd rather slam my nuts in a car door than play TPM ever again.
Alexrd Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 I'd rather slam my nuts in a car door than play TPM ever again. TPM was not that bad. In fact, it's not a bad game at all. It suffers from a somewhat excessive over the head camera angle, but other than that, it's a fine game.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Shadows of the empire was awesome. X-wing alliance? I thought it was awesome
BongoBob Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 TPM was not that bad. In fact, it's not a bad game at all. It suffers from a somewhat excessive over the head camera angle, but other than that, it's a fine game. It had some solid foundations, however the s***y camera broken force powers and overall crappy combat made me want to break the disk in half which is why I stopped playing it after the 4th level or something like that, I dunno it was a long time ago. If you liked it that's fine and dandy, more power to you. However, like I said, I'd rather slam my nuts in a car door than play it again.
Kain Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I wouldn't have Lego Star Wars anywhere near that list. Also: TSL sucked huge gaping donkey d**k.
IG-64 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I wouldn't have Lego Star Wars anywhere near that list. I agree. Also: TSL sucked huge gaping donkey d**k. aaand I think that's one adjective too many.
Lightsaberboy Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 what, they only use one game from the jedi knight series, omitting dark forces and jedi knight whch i felt were more groundbreaking, and put 2 rouge squadron games and 2 x-wing/tie fighter games??
Mandalorian54 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Rogue Squadron... I lived in that game for months. The only game I really don't think belongs on that list is Lego Star Wars.
IG-64 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Seeing as I've never played TIE Fighter *ducks* I'd have to say that KotOR is the best Star Wars game. To anyone who's never played TIE-Fighter and are wondering why it's always at the top of the list, allow me to pitch in as I played this with my brother back when it came out (it's still one of his favorite games) and from seeing quite a few shops in my time. It's basically KotOR nearly 10 years before there was KotOR. It holds up even without the "for its time" excuse. In terms of story length, depth and especially dialogue (spoken dialogue at that) it was far beyond anything else pretty much until KotOR itself. IMO it reached a level of immersion that stands up to current-generation games. I remember sitting there and listening to the radio chatter while my brother played and being absolutely amazed (yeah I was 6 but still), and to put things in perspective remember this is 3 years before Star Fox 64. You are a TIE-Fighter pilot in TIE-Fighter. And yeah it's a little pixelly but it still looks and sounds damn good, and it achieved a great sense of scale. Whether or not its "better" than KotOR I can't say, as I never got past the first level of that game (after having most of it spoiled unfortunately). I'd say they are pretty comparable in terms of content (disregarding the quality of the graphics); and in terms of gameplay it's a matter of opinion, but I personally enjoyed TIE-Fighter more than KotOR. We're talking about 10 years difference here so if you put things in a historical context, it's obvious why TIE-Fighter has to be at the top. Disclaimer: I'm making these claims based on very old memories so I might be a little biased.
BongoBob Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Whoever spoiled KotOR for you needs to be kicked in the balls repeatedly.
Mandalorian54 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I don't have a hard time saying Tie Fighter is better than KOTOR. And as far as I'm concerned the "for it's time" excuse doesn't exist. I still play commodore 64, and old or new games are all on the same playing field as far as I'm concerned.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 You know what.. I'll say something some people may consider blasphemy. Star Wars Galaxies, pre NGE or whatever they did to **** it up. I'm sorry, but I loved that game, especially the space combat. Then they went and butchered the crap out of it
Sabretooth Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Hey, I liked Yoda Stories. Never got the chance to play it, but I must have finished the Indiana Jones counterpart about 10 times.
