Star Wars Bounty Hunter (Gamecube, Playstation 2, 3, 4). Let's take a look back at the top 50 console and arcade games in the Star Wars universe. The latest Star Wars arcade game is only available in certain areas in the country (there's a locator page for finding a pod near you). I highly recommend finding an emulator online and giving it a spin. 24. When you’re talking horrible Star Wars video games, it’s difficult to leave out Flight of the Falcon for the Gameboy Advance. Star Wars: Yoda Stories (Game Boy Color). One of the first games published for the Nintendo 64, the game clearly benefited from the time it was released. The dogfight action is surprisingly good and the tunnel run is action packed. The customization options the game has are actually quite nice. This game would benefit from an increased speed of play, but unfortunately the character moves pretty clunky. With the ability to choose between the light and dark side of the force, Knights of the Old Republic invites multiple journeys through the same storyline. This game takes forever to get anywhere and the moves with the lightsaber look cool on the first go around, but after that act clunky and take forever. This game sold over a million copies in the US alone and is one of the few N64 games that’s still fun to play today. The game is pure white knuckle adrenaline as the player must destroy TIE fighters quickly to advance to the end level. One of the best Star Wars games made and definitely worth a handful of quarters. The sequel basically uses the same formula as the previous game, but with excellent new environments including an attack on the Death Star, which looks awesome. Set between Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, The Force Unleashed opens a new story in the Star Wars storyline where Darth Vader fosters an apprentice to rule the galaxy with whom the Emperor doesn’t know about which serves as an origin story to the rebel alliance. In all honesty, there weren't really any good Star Wars titles on Gameboy Advance, but this one is exceptionally bad. The player controls a former Jedi Knight who has been exiled from the Jedi Order, and the choices of the player will determine whether he moves more towards the Light or Dark Side of the Force. When you play this game, bring enough quarters because once you play one level, you’ll want to play them all. Sadly, the game wasn’t as good as Mario Kart 64, the best racing game on the Nintendo 64 platform, but still stood strong as a good Star Wars game. Over the next 20 weeks, we will celebrate the franchise by looking back and ranking the best of the best moments in Star Wars history. Much like the first game in the series, this game underwhelmed with mixed reviews and lackluster sales. Fighting the invasion of Naboo, Star Wars Starfighter is a action game that allows the player to pilot different starfighters. Then, Anakin becomes a Sith and kills the Emperor, declaring himself the ruler of the galaxy. It's easy to get lost and wonder what the hell it is you're doing as the level design is expansive and, often times, confusing. We may still have a couple months to go until The Force Awakens, but we're just weeks away from the newest Battlefront game's release in November. Star Wars: The New Droid Army (Game Boy Advance). Also the city of Naboo looks somewhat similar the more you move around, like they have been copied and pasted instead of giving more detail to the environment that could really benefit from an extra bit of effort. 49. The graphics are fantastic and the environments are really well done. The combos and lightsaber moves makes this game fun, and utilizing tactics in combat reward the avid player. When you finally get a handle on the horrible controls, the animation and lag on the game make blocking attacks frustrating to time and the entire experience regrettable. LEGO Star Wars Series (Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Gamecube, Playstation 2, 3, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360). Though the game didn’t have the best graphics, the idea is a lot of fun, especially the lightsaber combat which utilized different stances and speed of attack. Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter (Xbox, Playstation 2, 3, 4). Plus it gave you powers with the force that was pretty outstanding. The game is unresponsive and the characters have a worse reaction time than my grandfather playing whack-a-mole. The Force Unleashed II (Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS, Wii). The story is painstakingly bad with instances in which characters are having a conversation, on speeder bikes, comprised of some of the worst dialogue and voice acting for video game I've seen. 43. The player controls Kyle Katarn, a former Jedi who at one time almost succumbed to the Dark Side, as he works for the New Republic as a mercenary. Update your browser for more security and the best experience on this site. The story takes place right before the Clone Wars during the Battle of Geonosis, and the ability to play as both a Jedi and a pirate makes this one of the most fun and entertaining Star Wars games. 3. The clones, for all those who watched the second prequel, comes from the clone factories on Kamino and are an elite Delta squad that goes on select missions to help the Republic. This is one that's easy to get caught up in and play for hours. The dancing is so absurd. different characters including Darth Maul, General Grievous, and, yes, even Jar Jar Binks. God bless whoever thought of this game, because you are clearly insane. 20. Darth Vader is probably the best villain in movie history who's definitenly the last person you'd expect to see in a dance-off trying to out-twerk Boba Fett. Silent but deadly: The best Star Wars characters with no dialogue that deserve their own spinoff. They take a little while to reload, but maybe that's how the Force works? Instead, you do a lot of jumping and falling and the overall gameplay is repetitive. 22. The levels were really well thought out and the gameplay was fun. It's one of the best N64 offerings ever made. Find release dates, customer reviews, previews, and more. Also the cartwheels you can do in this game are just fun, even if they are pretty pointless. This game would be hilarious if it weren't so horrible and sad that Lucasfilm would resort to such a blatant and tone-deaf money grabbing opportunity. 38. But even some of the older titles have managed to hold up well over the years. 39. Star Wars: Lethal Alliance (Nintendo DS, PSP). The player takes command of a clone commando team. This definitely falls into the good category as the action is pretty great with more of an emphasis on shooting than lightsabers. The game controls were not the best and the graphics were less than average, but it is a fun game to play with friends. The combat isn’t the best and the game has an alternate that allows the user to play as Anakin and kill Obi Wan in the final battle. That's our list! Following Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the player controls Luke Skywalker as he picks up R2D2, meets Obi Wan, and rescues Princess Leia. A third-person action adventure game that had 40 missions with the player taking the role of Jedi Knights and clone troopers. The first level is incredible, as the player fights AT-AT’s on Hoth in a snowspeeder, and is definitely a precursor to Rogue Squadron. 44. Star Wars: Yoda Stories is a 1997 Star Wars Legends video game developed by LucasArts for PC and Game Boy Color. This game was only available on the Nintendo DS and Playstation Portable and, sadly, it leaves a lot to be desired in its graphics. But since nobody heard them scream, I guess you're still on the light side of the Force? Battlefront II (Playstation 2, PSP, Xbox). Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire (Nintendo 64). The first game in the LEGO videogame franchise, this game set the bar for all LEGO games since. 11. The racing arenas are well done, being both visually appealing and allowing for plenty of room during gameplay. Yoda Stories, for the GameBoy Color, was released by THQ in 1999. 37. While it’s interesting that there would be a first person shooter in the Star Wars universe that doesn’t have at least one Jedi in it (or Sith for that matter), this game is still pretty solid in combining the fun of a first person shooter where you can really put a blaster to use. This was almost the perfect Star Wars game, however it fell a little short of really fullfilling its own potential. The graphics were definitely not up to par (in fact, they look like an old Duke Nuke'em game) but overall the game had more pluses than minuses and was definitely worth playing at the time. While it gave the player the ability to ride a tauntaun and use both a blaster and lightsaber, it wasn’t as impressive as Super Star Wars (it was much better than the Star Wars NES equivalent though). Definitely a product of its time, but a good deal of fun, regardless. The camera is loose, it’s easy to lose yourself and get really irritated, the level design is headache inducing, and the graphics are really lackluster and bland. Like the first game, Battlefront II is one of the best Star Wars games available. It's really difficult to see what you're doing is making any impact, and I remember I must have played this game for hours not knowing what I was doing. This game is Final Fight with a Star Wars theme. 3. The 3D environment looked pretty lame and though you got to use a lightsaber and the Force (pushing your opponents), the game was definitely not a highlight in the Star Wars canon. The arcade racer that accompanied the The Phantom Menace film, Star Wars Episode I: Pod Racer puts the user in Anakin’s pod racer as he races to beat Sebula. The controls in this game and fulfilling the mission could also make the Dalai Lama himself lose his chill. It was somewhat easy to get lost fighitng in the starship, where Luke not only had to battle the Empire but boredom as well. Definitely a game full of nostalgia, this game is worth playing again or for the first time. So many times I tried to take down an AT-AT only to get irritated with my viewpoint or inability to hit what I wanted to hit. A horrible, terrible, no good game that I hope you never played. If you haven't played Star Wars: Yoda Stories or want to try this action video game, download it now for free! The player plays as Luke Skywalker in the X-Wing as he descends upon the Death Star in Episode IV. 5. This aerial attack game had the longest levels you could ever imagine, horrible gameplay and terrible graphics. The bad parts of this game is that in a rush to market, its third act was left unfinished and unfulfilling even as it tried to build on its predecessor. The player gets to use the Force (the ability to push things around him) as well as a lightsaber in third person action. Star Wars Bounty Hunter gives more information about the popular Boba Fett as well as providing a fun third person shooter. Absolutely bonkers, but wonderful. This is the first arcade game Star Wars introduced and, for 1983, it is pretty much all a player could want as a Star Wars fan. While the single player game left a lot to be desired, this game really excelled in its online play and was significantly better than its predecessor. Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (Nintendo). Each part of the game is a lot of fun and full of high energy that really utilizes each vehicle from the original trilogy, including the speeder bike and the snowspeeder on Hoth. You can still get this game in the PS4. It's old school Nintendo, in which players take a character and jump on lots of platforms and shoot in 8 bit glory. As with the spacecrafts, the view is much slicker than that of its predecessors (aka X-Wing). It even holds up after years have gone by. If someone told you there was a Mortal Kombat game in the Star Wars universe, wouldn’t you buy it? 40. The Atari version of Empire Strikes Back was a test in patience that acted somewhat as a Force trial in itself.
