I've wanted to play the Star Wars Lego games for ages now but have never got round to it. Apparently they're incredibly good, much better than any other Star Wars games.

Ehhh, no way. I played Lego Star Wars 2, and didn't find it all that much fun. As a matter of fact, most of it was very annoying. Me and my friend eventually stopped playing when a bug in the game prevented us from moving forward.

There are MUCH better Star Wars games out there. Some of the very best are X-Wing and Tie Fighter (I always liked Tie Fighter better), and the original Jedi Knight.
Knights of the Old Republic is also pretty good.

[ghall]

Knights of the Old Republic is amazing, though it runs like crap on my MacBook Pro [prays for UB patch].

I also like the Rogue Squadron series.

[jack1988]

Which is the best game of this year and last year...in your opinion...

[raggedjimmi]

Can't remember the name now, but there was a Star Wars FPS I liked, very old now. Think it was Jedi Knight. Only the demo too! Really liked that game.

Rogue Leader is my fave. First Gamecube game, remember playing it thinking "yea, this is Lylat Wars 2!"

It might have been either Jedi Knight (could be played in both 1st and 3rd person), or Dark Forces, the game that came before it.

I don't think any good Star Wars games have been released in the past year or two.

[BornAgainMac]

Is "Empire at War" any good? From the trailers it looks good and it is suppose to be available for the Mac around Feb. I like Battlefront II were you can be a Jedi in the battles. This game should be ported to the Mac immediately with no more delay.

[Sdashiki]

lego star wars is not a typical star wars game. its unique and just happens to use the Star Wars universe.

dont try to compare it with the actual Star Wars games that come out 10 a year.

Lego Star Wars is awesome, but not because its Star Wars only.

[SpankyPenzaanz]

I want Tie Fighter...it would be great on the consoles and on live would be fun
but KOTOR was amazing in my opinion

[raggedjimmi]

I never liked the Lego Star Wars games, they just had no gameplay to them. Wheres the challenge? I don't know if it was my version somehow being messed up but I had unlimited lives. Co-op was nice for about 20 minutes but again, with no real challenges I turned it off.

the collecting of 100% drove me to play it.

[Jedi128]

I would have to say that KOTOR is the best Star Wars game I've ever played (and probably best game period). I'm looking forward to playing more (like KOTOR2, Galaxies, Emprire at War) once I get me some Windoze for my Macbook Pro. Luckly I have a G5 iMac at home that I played KOTOR on. I might still try it on this one..... where is that universal binary! And not to mentition KOTOR2 for mac?

Battlefront was definitely awesome as well. Really really good game there. Can play that one for hours.

[yellow]

Is "Empire at War" any good?

I didn't think so.

I have it for the PC and I've never played more than the 1st couple of levels.

It seemed like a piss poor RTS to me. ****** graphics. Just another lame game pumped out by the StarWarsCashMachine.

[Hls811]

I'm not a big gamer, but I would spend hours upon hours playing "Pod Racer".. and if they had a Mac version I could play today - I'd STILL spend hours upon hours playing...

Oh Jedi Knight was awesome, I liked that game very much though once you got the lightsaber it essentially became a 3rd person lightsaber fighting game, it was awesome with the force powers and all... and multiplayer was great as well, damn now that was a good Jedi game, they got the lightsaber and force powers fighting really well.

And I think I remember playing an Ep. 1 pod racer demo for the Mac, I loved that game too but it did get boring after a while.

[Patmian212]

There is a mac version but I think it requires OS9 or Classic it was released around 2000-2001.

Do you mean Star Wars: Episode I Racer? It had versions on the N64, Dreamcast, Game Boy Color, PC, Mac and Arcade if I remember correctly. I only really remember seeing the N64 version but I remember the graphics and speed of the gameplay literally blew me away when I first saw them, I'd never seen anything like them. Kind of like Goldeneye blew me away when I first saw that.

[jack19]

Is the team of starswars gonna launch a new edition of the game..????

[Eric5h5]

I never liked the Lego Star Wars games, they just had no gameplay to them.

They have bucketloads of gameplay, but they aren't super-difficult or overly long. Possibly a little on the short side, but then again they don't wear out their welcome or cost that much. And they don't have "lives" per se. If you're just going to approach them like they're old-school 2D platformers, then you're missing the point.

"A Mac version I could play today" implies (and his signature confirms) that he doesn't have a Classic-capable system.

Oops, my mistake. Maybe there was an OS X patch releaed:confused:

Star Wars games I've enjoyed over the years:

1. Episode 1 Racer (podracer) - this game was an absolute blast on the N64 (though I did play it at the arcade and on the dreamcast.....just not the same). Friends used to come over to our apartment and disappear for 4 or 5 hours at a time and next thing we knew they were coming up from downstairs in my bedroom from playing podracer :) The 2nd version of this game which released on the PS2 was a joke though.

2. Knights of the Old Republic/KOTOR2 - GREAT games - I have these on the Xbox and these are one of the few games my wife has actually gotten into. Both of us love these games.

3. Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast - I've played through these on both the Mac and my Xbox. These are very fun games especially d/t the freedom of lightsaber action and of course the mods on the Mac version.

4. Episode 3 - Hack and slash game which unlocks a lot of Star Wars prequel and a few episode 4-6 characters for 2 person fighting.

5. Jedi Power Battles - I remember renting this on Playstation with a friend and not liking it much. Then I bought a dreamcast and the graphics were ALOT better and this game was tons of fun. Another hack and slash.

6. Lego Star Wars Episodes 1-3/4-6 - Great, simple, fun games....nothing more needs to be said.

--Eric

No, I'm approaching them like any other game (non-puzzle) I own; you can lose if you don't try hard enough. There is no gameplay in that. Go play Doom with IDDQD on and tell me how lifeless that is compared to non-god mode on an adequate difficulty level.

They are fun, but with the only challenge being to 100% it then it sorta fails on many levels and puts itself up as an interactive screensaver. Games normally are supposed to get the player to increase their playing skill as they adjust to the difficulty curve. Final Fantasy with god mode on... urgh.

I want to know is Star wars lego II is due to release or has released already in the market of britain.

[jack19]

Ever wonder how Santa Claus manages to work his way down chimneys way too small for him? Or how he seems to stop time in order to visit all of the world's good boys and girls every Christmas morning? LucasArts and TT Games know the answer: Santa Claus is a Jedi Knight whose amazing Force powers allow him to pull off such spectacular feats.

But what would have happened if jolly ol’ Saint Nick had stuck around to assist the Rebellion? Find out by creating him in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Here’s how you can add jolly ol' Saint Nick to your game of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy:

Step 1: At the Mos Eisley Cantina, enter the following two codes:
CL4U5H (for Santa hat and red clothes)
TYH319 (for white beard Extra)

Step 2: Go to the Character Customizer and create the proper costume. Use a human head, the appropriate red clothing...and don't forget the red cap! Santa can wield the weapon of your choice -- we recommend the green or red lightsaber to seasonally complement his shiny red duds. (Remember, the color of his lightsaber decides whether his Force powers are naughty or nice.)

Step 3: In the Extras menu, activate Disguise 3.

Step 4: Enter the character-based level of your choice in Free Play.

Step 5: Spread holiday cheer to a galaxy in pieces.

is this not an interesting one

[Cloudgazer]

Don't you mean:
An interesting one this is.

:D

[Xeem]

I'll always remember how much fun I had playing Dark Forces on my Quadra 660AV. That game rocked!

[thechris69]

republic commando was the best star wars game

[Chanabra]

Battlefront 2, is really nice.

[agreenster]

When I saw the title of this thread, I just had to respond...because I just got hired by LucasArts to be an animator for their new Star Wars game coming out soonish! Woo!

This isnt a real trailer, just an "old" tech demo, but Im excited about it nonetheless...

[jack19]

In your opinion which star wars sequel was great one...????

[Verto]

The best Star Wars game was TIE Fighter. Also acceptable answers would be: X-Wing.

Runners-up: KOTOR (although, and I'm not sure why, but this game was really easy); Star Wars Rebellion (love it or hate it kind of game, it seems).

Also, LEGO Star Wars was a lot of fun, but nothing about it was really 'Star Wars'. Same goes for a lot of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, the RTS one, etc.

[eXan]

I would have to say that KOTOR is the best Star Wars game I've ever played (and probably best game period). I'm looking forward to playing more (like KOTOR2, Galaxies, Emprire at War) once I get me some Windoze for my Macbook Pro. Luckly I have a G5 iMac at home that I played KOTOR on. I might still try it on this one..... where is that universal binary! And not to mentition KOTOR2 for mac?

I think KOTOR (both parts) are the best SW games! I really miss K2 for Mac, but I managed to finish it 2 times on my sister's and my friend's PC.

Jedi Knight (2 and 3, though JK2's singleplayer early levels are BoRinG) come in the second place anfter KOTOR games

I didnt like BattleFront much, BF2 I think is better, but its not available for Mac

I remember playing Podracer and SW Pit droids on my old 3G iMac was I was small. Really fun games, especially Pit Droids - AWESOME!! :D

[Sky Blue]

best star wars games were:

Super Star Wars
Super ESB
Super ROJ

[SuperCompu2]

Battlefront 2, is really nice.

i agree, regular unit combat combined with Jedi play makes fr a very fun experience.

Dark Forces was also a very very nice game, wasted many hours of my life playing that on my ol' Win95 box.

[Chone]

Games normally are supposed to get the player to increase their playing skill as they adjust to the difficulty curve. Final Fantasy with god mode on... urgh.

I agree but then again LEGO StarWars is supposed to be a game about just having fun like many other games, there are also other games which provide zero challenge and are still wicked fun, for example Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal for the PS2... I beat that game yesterday from a 0% save (I had already played through the game 2 years ago though) and I died like 4 times and that was because I was using level 1 weapons to upgrade them... hell I beat the final boss using an inadequate v3 weapon... just to upgrade it.

And I still had the time of my life playing UYA, its an incredible game, very easy (okay its not that easy as my post says but the game still has infinite lives, constant checkpoints and a small difficulty level).

And MMORPG games are hardly about skill or challenge, those games are about who can exploit the most game bugs and who plays the most, I'm sick and tired of those games, no skill required.

That being said sometimes a challenging game is awesome, Devil May Cry 3 was great, its definitely the hardest PS2 game I've played (I think), especially on DMD mode but I loved it and I probably wouldn't have liked it as much if it was easy. Simply put if Devil May Cry 4 is an easy game... I'll buy a 360 because thats the only game thats keeping my eye on the PS3.

But I got carried away of course.
