This is more fun than people think it is. The Story is that you are a Naboo pilot who's mission is to protect the Queen of Naboo, when you get separated across space after being attacked, and you get the help of others to finish your missions as well as the missions of others, this is a good idea for a story, and after playing it overall, I it is a good story for this type of game, more than you would expect from a game like this, it has much stuff that happens, and number of interesting things happening to the group, the only slight problem I had with it was how sudden it ended. The Characters are great, Rhys is a an alright guy, not much to say about him, he does have good chemistry with the other characters though, Reti is a fun caring Toydarian, Vana is a former Trade Federation worker who turns sides after being betrayed, and Nym is a strong enforcing leader, who was captured by Vana in the past, Essara was good for the short time she had on screen. The Graphics are good in cutscenes, and the graphics while playing are good, nothing great, but alright to look at. The Gameplay has you shoot down enemy fighters and destroying stuff in your Starfighter throughout the entire game, while also having the option to complete optional tasks along the way, this is really fun gameplay, going around shooting waves, or new areas of enemies, that is what the whole game is, and the controls are smooth and make it not feel repetitive if you enjoy this genre of gaming, the only problems I had were that there is no lock on option, ally ships don't have health bars, so you can see how close you are to failing, and if you die throughout any part of the level, you have to start all the way from the beginning part of it again, which will get annoying even if you enjoy playing. The Music is taken from the movies, and they work, as that is all Star Wars games really need to do. Star Wars: Starfighter will be a Star Wars game that fans, and people who enjoy flying games should not let fly by them.
