Star Wars Starfighter goes gold

The PC version of LucasArts' space-combat action game Star Wars Starfighter has gone gold and will arrive in stores next week, according to a company representative. The game was first released last February on the Sony PlayStation 2, and a special edition of the game for the Microsoft Xbox was released in November. The game lets players participate in a number of missions to save the Naboo from the Trade Federation, ending in an assault on a droid control ship. It features more than 20 detailed spaceships and 14 3D environments in both air and space.

Star Wars Starfighter was developed for the PC by San Francisco-based Secret Level, and it will be available in stores the week of January 22 for an approximate retail price of $39.99.
