Although
Jedi Starfighter is based on
Episode II, the missions are completely separate from the movie. Throughout the game, you play as either Jedi warrior Adi Gallia, or as Nym, a Feeorin alien who's trying to take back his base from the Trade Federation. Regardless of who you play as, your 15 missions basically consist of either protecting something or someone, or attacking a target. This may sound bland, but it's actually quite fun to play because the storyline keeps you involved in the game.
This is a perfect follow-up to the previous Starfighter, because the added features really enhance this version. While Adi Gallia only has four types of the Force to use, each one is very effective. Plus, both Adi Gallia and Nym have quite an arsenal of weapons, so if you like to blow things up, you'll find yourself in weaponry heaven. Of course, none of this really matters unless you're able to fly your spacecraft, which shouldn't be a problem. Also, when it comes to locking in on your targets, you'll have the ability to zoom in and have a much clearer shot. Should you need to toggle through your targets looking for a specific one, you won't have a problem either. Depending on how many enemies you have left to shoot down, it's just a press of a button away.
One other mentionable, you can play two-player on all the missions. Depending on who the characters are for that specific mission, you'll both be taking on the Trade Federation in a split-screen format. There are also dual player missions that you can try out as well, but it's nice to see you can beat the game with a friend by your side (tear).
