It depends on the types of games you like. Personally I like JK, rebellion and XvT. But thats just me.

Check your PM, Evil :)
Is the JK expansion worth getting? It's real cheap now, should I get it? Or is it a complete waste of money?

MoTs Is good coz of the new force powers and the scope on the stormtrooper rifle is cool coz it can kill almost anything in one shot and the pirate missions are good

I liked X-wing vs. TIE fighter and X-wing alliance. Jedi Knights is cool but for some reason I never got it. Rebellion is fun, but really hard.:D

OK I really like all of the star wars games that i have played, and that is basicly everything but RA and RAII

Now i like FC because of the 3d camara. I think the units had good stats and the game was ballanced well.

I do think it needed a lot more work, the units moved really bad, at-at couldn't walk over trees that shouldn't stop an at-st, they could find a very good path and the units were always trying to walk over each other if you had them going thought the same path.

I like the controls for the game, all of the cammara controls were on the mouse unless you don't have a scrolling mouse then you would need to use the key board to zoom in and out. I don't like haveing to put the camara on a unit and rotate around the unit, it is a lot better to have the camara free and put it anywhere you want.

I think that if LA would have taken care of the unit moving bugs they would have a next generation game.

shoot for xwing alliance, esp. if you have a good computer b/c the graphics come out great. the stories are good and multiplayer is even better at zone.com

JK and rogue squadron are good too, the only thing is that rogue squadron i think is not as deep as xwing alliance (not as many ships) but better graphics with that 3D accelerator enhancement.

I just have to say that the story of XWA is good untill you get to the ending, that stinks!!!

I would only go for Rogue Squadron if you had the N64. If not...don't worry about it.

kvan,
i don't play it as much b/c of xwa. however, the balance of power expansion adds those storylike missions which gives it some balance. if you're down to play sometime on the zone, let me know....

I've never been to the zone :eek:
But I'm game to play sometime if you are :D
I only have xvt balance of power. I don't have xwa. I'll probably go out and buy it this week, if I can force myself to go out in the daylight (it burns!) ;)
Jay and Fergie maybe we can sent up a game sometime?

Iv played and got every starwars game released for the pc (except starwars chess).

The top four games (in my opinion):

1: Jedi Knight/Mots
2: Xwing vs TIE Fighter (less lag online, more multiplayer missions)
3: Xwing Alliance
4: Rebellion

If your only on a 56kps, id recommend xvt for playing online, ok so you dont get so many ships to choose from and the graphics are bad but its possible to play without too much lag.

If your interested in playing any of the games for a clan, check my sig.

I never knew it was a clan site. So how good is everyone at XvT?

JK/Mots are the best. End of story.

2)Xvt(Good Dogfights)
3)Dark Forces one(The Missions are really good)
4)Focom

FoCom?! are you crazy? :mad: that's the worst game (not just star wars) that i've ever played. The only cool thing about it was the little posters you got in the box when you bought the game. But, everyone is entitled to their opinions, i guess.

Before you go yelling at people about what they post why don't you read above, because we already talked about force commander.

Also please don't say one of my favorit game sucks unless you are going to give a reason for it!!!

X-Wing Alliance! I just bought it last week and it's great. Needed something to tie me over until GB comes out;)

50 single-player missions, multi-play on the Zone, tons of ships, and lot's of depth. And I got it for $15. That's what I call getting my money's worth.

Only bad point is that you have to fly for the Rebels. I loved the original Tie Fighter and still have fond memories of flying for the Empire.

I was thinking of possibly picking up Rebellion after playing through XA, what's everyone's thoughts on that game? I have heard both good and bad things about it...

Here's the lowdown on Rebellion.

1) Lots of characters, main and other (EU).
2) TONS of starships (Rebel and Imperial).
3) Manage your empire by harvesting resources and building units and buildings.
4) Send characters on missions (diplomacy, sabotage).
5) Great cinemactis, average in game graphics, below average 3D battle graphics (game switches to 3D for battles).

Over all opinion: Pretty good game. Worth buying, don't expect it to keep you entertained forever. Gets monotonous after you beat the game a couple times. DEFINATELY read the manual. Important hotkeys for battle in there!

Good Luck if you buy it! :D

If you get it beware to wade through a ton of different windows and popups. And you could easily spend hours on a single game, so you gotta have patience. Also, tne manual could take hours to read too, i've read books for history class that were shorter. :D
