It doesn\'t mean the game is perfect. It just means that all three aspects have a favorable review of like 8/10 or 4/5.

I just played the game for an hour, the graphics really are something... real nice... I haven\'t paid a lot of attention to the sound, but it\'s nice, I heard a few memorable tunes in the background.  The gameplay so far is just right, playing on normal difficulty.  The only problem is I\'m on the 6th level already...  I can definatly see playing this over many many times, and the secret levels will be a challenge to get.  So far my rating is:

Graphics:A
Sound:A-
Gameplay:A-

I don\'t really like doing reviews, but I figured I owed you people that much...

Also, on my trip to the mall, I saw the GT3 demo, WOW that game looks awesome, better than I imagined!  But I didn\'t get to play it much, which made me very mad.

On another side note EB made a mistake and credited me someone else\'s $50 but I was honest and I got jack squat in return

Oh well, at least I got a good game.

No way this game is AAA

The graphics are a b- at the very best. Again complete lack of textures hurts and there are jaggies again

Gameplay I would rate a B as well. Lots of confusion about what you need to do and how you go about doing it. Lack of radar means you automaitically have to play levels 10 or so time to get familiar with where enemies are at. I find it hard to believe the Star Wars universe doesn\'t have radar


Sound if preety good, I could give it  an A- or a B+



I can\'t call this game a AAA title, cause I PS2 expectations are not being met again. SSX still reigns as my favorite PS2 game.

pffft what we need is a Star Trek game.Star Trek is so much better.

Well, I rate graphics based on what\'s out now, not some unrealistic expectations I made in my mind years ago.  Also, I have no problem beating the levels, seems pretty straight-forward to me.

I have the game and while its no X-wing alliance it looks very nice. The only thing is I do not like the flight controls maybe I am a spoiled flight simmer but by the use of both hands to control my fighter take some getting used to. Overall its a good game kind of like rouge squadron.

IGN REVIEW:

Presentation
The menus kick 10 flavors of @$$. The only knock here is that the load times before the start of a level are much too long.  8.5  

Graphics
This is one of the best looking titles you\'ll find on PS2 right now. The explosions, general lighting effects and ship models look superb. Only real flaw is that it can be a bit choppy at times.  9.0  

Sound
The voice acting is good and the sound effects and music are classic Star Wars stuff.  9.5  

Gameplay
The control is tight, the missions are pretty diverse and the "sniper" feature should be in every space shooter released in the future.  9.0  

Lasting Appeal
You can beat the basic game in a day, but there\'s so much more to it than that. It\'s also still fun to play after completing everything three or four times.  8.5  

OVERALL SCORE (not an average)  
 9.0  


and thats the IGN wrap.

I had no problem beating the 1st 7 levels I believe I\'m on 8 but I still don\'t feel like I know what I\'m doing and that removes some of the fun for me..

But as for expectations, you honestly can\'t tell me Starfighter is the kind of graphics you we\'re expecting from the PS2. Jaggies are present again, lack of texture details (although some ships and the canyon walls look pretty good), lack of terrain details. ALL this lack and it still has framerate issues

a game that is AAA will not have the above problems. And at $55 + a game I\'m not going to give a rating to something  just because. The PS2 is capable of heluva alot more, and I will award those A\'s to games that acheive all of the above with gameplay.

As for Starfighter gameplay, I haven\'t fallen in love with it, I don\'t hate it, and I think its good, but I just don\'t think it the bomb

I\'m hoping the game grow on me as I become familiar with it, cause as I said above I\'m moving though the missions but I don\'t really feel I know exactly what I\'m doing and what / when to do it. I am gettin better at it, and its only been a day but thats my initial feelings

Uknown\'s review proved to be quite fufilling... he and many other people believe it is an AAA game, I have not played it yet.

Sounds like a rent-first for me...

SO I guess my opinion is BS then Billy. Hey I\'m no sheep and I\'m not going to tell you what you want to hear just to be with the in crowd. I\'m honest about my own opinions...


Alot of people think the game is good, I feel its a good game, but it still doesn\'t fulfill my PS2 expectations.

I definetly don\'t hate it, and I\'m hoping the more familair with the game and the controls I get, the better I will like it.

Graphics are good, and it is one of the better looking PS2 games, but that doesn\'t mean it has to be an A. When I am blown away and my jaw hits the ground thats an A, and that is definetly not happening with Starfighter, it has its strong point but also has some weak points


Gameplay is good, I would prefer faster moving/turning ships, and some sort of radar or overview to determine where my targets are, but this is something that I feel will not be a problem the more familiar I get with the game. I just get tired of playing a level 15 times to become familiar with where everything is so I can do it right eventually.

Sound is real good, and arguably deserves an A but I\'ll give it a B+.

I have to say i disagree with some of the lower reviews. This is an excellent game and the graphics are wonderful (for what is out now) this is still basiacally a first generation title and the textures on the canyon walls are awesome. The gameplay is straghtfoward and easy to grasp. You dont really need radar in this game as it is easy to cycle through your enemies or highlight them all at once and pick one. I have had no problems at all beating the levels on the medium difficulty and I havent tried hard yet. The explosions in this game are the best to date on the ps2 and the sniper zoom in function is an awesome feature. It is fixed power but gives you a nice close up view of ships that are very far off in the distance and you getto watch as you blow them to smithereens. The control in this game is very tight, i dont care what any review says! It is very easy to manuever your ship around and i had no prblems flying at break neck speeds through some of hte canyons in the game. The sound is top notch also and if you have a nice 5.1 channel surround system turn the rears all the way up and youll have a blast playing this game. I am really starting to believe that the audio in games is every bit as important as polys or textures in terms of drawing you into the gaming world and starfighter does this in spades. Also the game seems to go on around you even if you do nothing which is another nice thing that makes you feel that you are part of a cause and not just one lone starship versus the world. There are also commands that you can give your squad mates sorta like x-squad except for these ones work. I targeted a large dropship and then hit up on the d=pad and my squadmates immediately replied  over the radio that they were converging on it. Just for fun i sat back and watched as they totally took apart the large dropship, it was a very pleasing moment for me.... well thats all for now and yes this is a aaa title for what we have to choose from and will probably hold up very nicely against some other  space shooters that will be released in the future.
