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 #21) The first expansion to the Star Wars Galaxy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Jump to Lightspeed added new races, space combat and profession-created ships.
In its review, our sister site GameSpot notes that, “like so much of the content added to the game in recent updates,” Jump to Lightspeed “has been designed to reward dedicated, hardcore players rather than appeal to new ones, and that's exactly what it does.”
