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) This bird-flinging sequel offers 56 playable characters from the prequel trilogy, each with their own special powers. Though criticized by Metro GameCentral for its “unfortunate turn to the microtransaction Dark Side” that “causes some problems with balancing,” most reviewers found the game enjoyable.
“Though it sticks very close to the established formula,” says AppSpy, “Angry Birds Star Wars II offers just enough tweaks and additions to warrant another trip to that galaxy far, far away.”
