Star Wars games - Which one's best?
 
Which SW game do you find to be the best one out there?

As a fan of Final Fantasy, I found the KOTORs to be my favorite ones. A very close second place holder is the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy A.K.A. Jedi Knight 3 (or 2, cant remember).

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance is one of the best. Old though.

Depends on the gendre (fps, rpg, sim)

My all time favorites (Dont ask me to pick one) have to be jedi knight 2 & acadamy, and the old classic Tie Fighter (imho the best of the bunch for immersion tho XWA though XWA and X-Wing are right behind it).

I honestly didnt care much for KOTOR, wasnt my kind of rpg.

There is a new Star Wars mod for Battlefield 21-something, and it looks good. (not that I am buying the game for that, but if you have it)

The first Kotor, the second was a half finished hack job unfortunately. ;)
I liked Kotor because Bioware was great in recapturing the spirit of the original Star Wars even though the history in Kotor goes back some millenia with respect to the events in SW.
I also like X-Wing Alliance and Rebel Assault.

My favorite has always been Star Wars Rebellion.

and the Original Star Wars Galaxies (Pre-Combat Upgrade)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxies

followed by Star Wars: Empire at War (which was based off Rebellion)

I also liked the old Star Wars Arcade game. There is emulator for it so you can play it on the PC.

I still find #3 the best. #4 forced you to use 3rd person perspective when using the light sabre.

Ok, well I'm talking about the one in 3rd person. Tho, IIRC there's a mod to make it 1st person. Should try it. :hmm:

SW Battlefront 2 becuase you can kill with ease if you Vader

TIE Fighter by far. Splendid dialogue, varied missions, believable plots, good gameplay, everything. And above all an incredible atmosphere.

The mod for Battlefield 2142 is called First Strike and is not bad at all, and certainly better than the Battlefront series. I actually bought the game just for that mod (or rather, got it for my birthday) and haven't regretted it so far.

Galactic Battlegrounds was fairly good, too, I was one of the relatively few people who actually loved it. Didn't see the point of the expansion pack, though.

I recommend avoiding Force Commander, and Rogue Squadron attention to movie accuracy is important to you. And the last title, while fun, got silly and strange beyond belief.

That would have made it so much better. It was fun though - the massive light sabre battles. That was as prevelent in #3.

From the ones I have seen or played my favourite is "X-Wing vs Tie Fighter" + it's addon "Balance of Power".
"Jedi Knight" and its sequel "Jedi Knight 2" are also very entertaining although I never completed either of them.

Does anybody know if there is a website which is dedicated to Star Wars games? I wonder if there are any mods for X-Wing vs Tie Fighter...
