Best Star Wars Videogames of the Last 20 Years
Videogames based on movies often get a bad rap, but those based on the Star Wars universe have largely bucked the trend. Fans are spoiled for choice—there’s a wide selection of excellent titles across a number of genres. Here are the 25 best Star Wars games from the last two decades, as rated by the critics (and our unique Metascore).
Note: For the purposes of this list, we excluded Star Wars pinball titles and games with fewer than seven reviews. (And if a game was released on more than one platform, we included the version that received the largest number of reviews from critics.)
(tied for #23) This space shooter, set prior to the Battle of Naboo, follows several pilots as they battle the Trade Federation. The “Special Edition” version for Xbox features enhanced graphics and an upgraded multiplayer experience that the PlayStation 2 version, released months earlier, lacks.
Summing the game up in a haiku, Official Xbox Magazine writes: “The jaggies are gone/ The framerate is much faster/ Still no Rogue Leader.”
