First things first, if you are just looking for Risk set in the Star Wars universe, you will be disappointed (better check out the Clone Wars Risk or an older Star Wars version if there is one.)

If you can get past that (let's be real, the Risk name was probably tacked on just to generate more interest considering it's a well-known game) then you're in for a very fun game! The basic gameplay is not hard to understand, and there's enough strategy and differences between the two factions to keep things interesting no matter which side you play.

I've already played one game as both Rebels and Imperials (in which the Death Star was destroyed both times) but I already know that there's a lot to work on in terms of my own strategies; if you neglect any of the three battlegrounds it'll be much harder to win!

Considering it's pretty cheap for a board game I would just recommend buying it if interested. The only shortcomings are that there are no TIE Interceptor or A-wing pieces (considering their Star Wars debut was in Return of the Jedi), and some might not like that the game is made for only 2 or 4 players. That being said, the pieces that are given are much more detailed than expected.

It's nice to see a board game devised with a good deal of thought and balance put into it, as opposed to just placing the Star Wars brand upon a half-baked effort. Please check it out!

This game is dense, and you need the original game, but the story is fantastic. The difficulty is high, so we bent a few rules when the game stopped after one character "death", and kept going until we met the win condition. The art is beautiful, gameplay is fun and varied. Lots of people put a ton of love into this game, and it shows.

Few Games on the PS2 at this point have been impressive.  I can proudly say that Star Wars Starfighter is one of better ones. It is AWESOME!!  The controls, the graphics, the music, the fun factor....it is in there.  This is one of the most impressive Star Wars games I have played to date.
There is a nice variety of missions, which include Land Based and Space Based missions.  The cinemas are pretty cool too.
Bottomline, Star Wars Starfighter is pure eyecandy, with excellent graphics, sound and gameplay.  If you are a Star Wars fan, and own a PS2, you owe it to yourself to buy this.  If you are a PS2 owner looking for a great game to buy, Star Wars Starfighter is the game for you.
This game will make you want to play hookey from work or school. At least it makes me want to!!
Highly Recommended!!

This game has many different kind of features and levels.  It has good graphics and lots of things such as guns and vehicles.  If you like the Combat Flight Simulater games, you will love this.  It is the Combat Flight Simulater games and more.  Flight and ground.  The space not only looks cool but you can choose different kinds of ships.  Things ranging from slow bombers to fast 1 on 1 fighters.  Not only that, but you can also take your ships and infiltrate the other main team's main carrier ship and help bring it down from the inside using special landing ships.  This game takes you through most of the major battles in the Star Wars series.  It also not only goes into the Clone Wars but also the Galactic Civil War.  It is not a only one player game so people do not just have to sit around and watch you play.  Yes it does have a vs. mode so you can go head to head with your freinds and family.  It also has many kinds of games on quickplay.  You have your standard conquest where you have 150 times your troops can get killed and whoever kills 150 first wins.  You have hunt, in which you play with some kind of creatures such as Gungans, Ewoks, and Wampas.  You have my personal favorite, assault, in which all of the bosses such as jedi and other major people like Chewbacca all fight.  It is seperated by good and bad in this mode so you can't have people like Han Solo and Darth Vader on the same team.  The last mode is the classic capture the flag, which is get the enemies flag and bring it back to your base.  It also has 1 flag capture the flag which is where there is only 1 point at which to get the flag.  There are many different kinds of troops with different skills and weaponry.  Troopers, engineers,  snipers, and many more.  Yes this game does have a story, but the plot is very cheap.  I won't ruin it, but it mainly goes by the movies.  In this game you mainly play as CIS, Republic, Empire, and Rebels.  So it kind of shifts through them.  Overall this game is pretty good and worth the money.  I would say this is money well spent if you are a Star Wars fan.

Annihilation - This was actually a really enjoyable read considering it was not full Force based on a Jedi or a Sith. I enjoyed finding out in more depth that there were special forces and not just Jedi's working to defeat the Empire and the Sith. I would recommend this book to all those who love Han Solo. Not the lone wolf exactly, but the lone wolf with a Republic to save!

I have the PC version, installed on a decent laptop. Had zero problems with installation, and played the game entirely from the hard drive. This is one of the best games I've ever played in this genre. If you love science-fiction with a lot of action and a deep, complex political story, then this is a game you MUST play.

It still looks amazing, and the voice acting is top-notch. One of the best aspects of the game is the music though. The soundtrack is epic, and absolutely worthy of a Hollywood production.

I loved a lot of elements of the game, particularly the diverse and branching dialogue trees. Depending on the type of character you play, you have many different ways to react and respond to situations. Many times the results were surprising, which added to the fun of this game.

Great graphics, music, voice-acting, and incredible storyline all add up to 5 stars.

The single player game is VERY immersive, putting you in the role of Ensign Munro, second in command of the Hazard Team.  You get mission briefings, weapon training on the holodeck, and even time to hang out in the break room before being sent on Away Missions to insure the survival of your ship.  Player models are quite good, with perhaps the most realistic faces I've seen in a computer game, with lips that seem to match the spoken dialogue exactly.  Having nearly all the Voyager cast members for voice actors helps as well.  The missions, for the most part, aren't too difficult for anyone with FPS experience but are still a lot of fun.
The multiplayer game, started from a separate application, is basically Quake 3 with new maps, skins, weapons, and a few enhancements to the after battle reports, like your most used weapon and who killed you the most.  I think it's better looking and has better weapons, but that's a personal preference, and it seems to need more CPU power than Quake 3.

Finally...a game that includes more than just shooting and fighting.

BFII is the most immense sw game ive played besides BFI and republic commando. I love all the classes and space battles. The jedi mode does seem a little Over Powerd but whatever right. I will always play and love this game.

Great game, especially if you are a Star Wars fan! There are some slight strategic errors to it though that make it feel less like your actually commanding a massive fleet! Heros can basically hyperspeed to anywhere, where as fleets basically, especially if you're the empire, can only move one space per turn. Hence, if you find the rebel base and your Death Star is 7 systems away.... forget it! Your going to have to take it down is some other way! It also seems to be HEAVILY weighted against the rebels and I have played it like 10 times. Other than that, it's great!

This has got to be one of, if not the best Star Wars games I have ever played. The graphics are amazing, and the ability to interact with your environment in unbelieveable. In the previous games, when you did force push, you pushed one stormtrooper back like 5 feet. Now, when the skill is maxed out, you can push half a dozen stormtroopers across a hanger bay of a cruiser, and sometimes farther. The plotline can be a little strange sometimes, but overall, since they basically had to mold the entire game to make it accurate compared to the third and fourth movies, they did a fantastic job. I have already beaten the game twice and it is still fun. I highly recommend this game, and am glad it came out before all the other shooters that are coming out in the next few months, because I am afraid it would lose some of its publicity.

Republic commando is a fine First Person Shooter. This is the first all first person shooter from star wars in a while and a great way to revive the genre. The gameplay is as some sudgest, is what you would get if Halo and Rainbow Six [ also fine games ] had a kid, and then left it on the doorstep of Star Wars where it was raised.

 You play as Delta squad leader 1138. Delta squad are the elite clones, 4 man squads trained by the Fett-man himself. You can order your squad around by holding A and using the D-Pad. You can tell them to form up, hold a position, get into attack formation or cancel previous manuevers. You can also tell them to place a bomb, hack a computer, man a turret, take up sniping position, eat a cat, steal your credit card and focus all their firepower on one hostile. There's an occasional solo mission to break up the repition. The audio is fantastic, with eerie sounds that range from the organic flutter of a geonosions wings to the tank like crawl of a spider droid and the muffled stomping of the raging wookie. Did I mention that you get to fight alongside wookies? And not the cute, fuzzy one's, I'm talking about the raging homicidal wookies that kill everything. The graphics also paint a desolate and skincrawling enviroment, and is mildly destructable.

 Only 2 real problem's with the game: its short and theres no bot multyplayer. With only three campaigns [ or worlds or what ever you want to refer to them as ] it's over before you can really love it and the multyplayer, even though it supports xbox live and system link, is shallow. I want to love this game and give it a 5, but those two problems drag it down to 4 STARS.

There is little doubt that this is going to be one of the top games of 2003. The December 2002 Game Informer Magazine gave this a full-length feature, and it left little doubt that this is going to be a powerhouse game. Enter the Matrix is being developed with a close collaborative effort between gaming industry and Hollywood so that they can create a game experience "as rewarding as the movie."
There will be ultra-realistic character movements with the over 4,000 motion captures performed and encoded into the game. We are promised over 200 minutes of in-game cinematics and voices from the actors of the film including Keanu Reeves (bless his heart). You can play as Niobe or Ghost, and you play along side characters from the first movie (Neo and Morpeus). Screen shots look promising with plenty of special effects. Unless the something goes terrible wrong between now and the release of this game, we can expect ONE AWESOME GAME!

This is just plain fun. There are a lot of Star Wars similarities and the bonus material even mentions it. Leaves you wondering how they're going to straighten out all the time space continuum stuff they messed up in this movie. But no need to think to much, just sit back and watch the good guys take on the bad guys. There are a lot of subtle references and reminders of other space movies, mayby some borrowng from Star Wars. You'll recognize the similar scenes.

Really great storyline and atmosphere.  Like playing through a high-budget impressive movie.

The actual gameplay is a first person shooter, similar to a lot of other games out there, but the impressive storyline puts it much above others.

Ok, I am no huge star wars fan...not that i hate it, but i just don't remember watching them. I say this to point out that I am not biased for or against this game.

The game is solid and has its high points. Gameplay is very much like any other FPS. I wish they used the ingenuity of Golden Eye (old school N64) to allow peeking around corners though. Also flying the space crafts could have been more intuitive.

Game is a little hard to progress in at first, however, the accomplishment of living longer each time is worth the rough startoff. I find myself growing to love the game. Rent the game if you are skeptical. I think you might not like it after doing only an instore demo as the time is way too short. I believe after a night or so of playing you will definitely see the game as worthy of being in your game collection.

All in all the game is good. But apart from the timeless imagery, settings and the Star Wars heritage, I do not see anything revolutionary in the game.

Would I recommend this game? Yes...

Would I run out and buy it immediately? No...

Am I going to trade this game ever? No...

If you are a huge FPS fan. Get this game, i would just be hesitant to shell out $40+ to get my hands on it. Used Games ROCK!!!
