Star wars: Starfighter, Mirriors and resembles the good game Roque Squadran and that game was a favorite of mine, So I knew when, I purchased this game I knew I would have something that was like Roque squadran, When I first played it I couldn't figure out the control system so it's been sitting in it's case on the display cabinet, for like 6 months having not been played. Seeing only yesturday I decided to give it ago since I knew I have a decent joystick now. So I spent some time getting use the Joystick controls. Looking for the Configure option, was the only thing I had trouble with I was expecting it to be inside the game, It isn't you get the option with the "autoplay" menu, so if you have autoplay disabled you will miss it which I'm sure will or has caused trouble with people. However after spending like 10 minutes trying to fiqure it all out by Trial and error (before I found the configuration options.) I started to get into the game. Once you manage that you find the game isn't that half bad. The enviroment can be a bit clumpsy, as if you keep bouncing against the roof of the play area enough, you can break though and fly about. Couple of other bugs emerged that put a damber on things. Bugs Such if you bump into something you will or can totally flip out or your ship goes into a endless loop that will have you killed, because you need a minute because you've become dizzy from having watched it.

The cinematics brings a nice touch, good voice acting and you feel for the main character at the start when he looses his teacher. The story jumps around from place to place which can leave you disorintated with the story so you may decided to skip them all the time and you wouldn't really miss anything except you will miss out on the depth of the characters and a couple of the cinimatics have the characters explain some of their specal abilities to their ships things you wouldn't know from the manual or just flying about.

The Game, and game play is simple granted however I knew what I was buying and I figured as much as to what I would be getting.

You get 12 missions, but it's actually 48 missions if you go through them all getting the Silver and Gold medals for completeing certain tasks, each will unlock the bonus missions which gives you good fun and practice to train up on.

The game isn't hard for me and I found it rather easy, simply because I have skill at this sort, not brilliant "TOp gun" type of skill, just having played games like Freespace/Freespace2, Star lancer, and other type of games. Once you've figured out the controls everything becomes second nature to you. This game is one for the Fans of Star wars and perticular for the Fans of Rogue Squadran that wanted and always had the Naboo star fighter mod attached to that game. In a real sense Star Wars :Starfighter is just simply another Rogue squadran just with a different name. You wouldn't be far wrong saying that. However as a fan I really like it. So what can you do.
