Finest Star Wars Games of All Time
42. Star Wars: The New Droid Army (GBA)
An isometric platformer that happens in between Attack of the Clones and Vengeance of the Sithyou manage the petulant young Skywalker in this stodgy action video game. Thinking about the platform it’s on, the video game looks and sounds fine. Beyond that, however, it’s dull, recurring therefore s-l-o-w. Anakin, you’re breaking our heart.
41. Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles (GBA)
With satisfactory animation and audio (specifically thinking about the system) and boring, picky platforming, Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles falls under a regretfully familiar pattern of portable Star Wars video games. It’s not as despiteful as some, and it’s a little faster-paced than New Droid Army, however it’s a comparable story.
Possibly designer HotGen was attempting to consistently record the enjoyment of The Phantom Menace‘s trade disagreements, in which case task done. Some may call the non-canon blue lightsaber wielded by Mace Windu on the cover unforgivable, however we were too tired to care.
40. Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon (GBA)
Anybody who’s just ever played Star Wars video games on a Game Boy deserves your pity. Retro Nintendo portables had a great deal of things opting for them, however a high midi-chlorian count wasn’t among them.
Flight of the Falcon is among the extremely worst Star Wars video games ever due to the fact that it’s got Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon on the cover– the 2 coolest things in the Star Wars universe– and it sullies their reputations. Just like all horrible Star Wars video games, the iconography fools you into believing ‘ah, it can’t be that bad!’, however our evaluation conclusion amounts this up completely: “Flight of the Falcon is an extremely bad video game. You must not play it. Cool the screenshots look, nevertheless guaranteeing the property sounds, simply keep in mind that the Force is not with this one in any method, shape or kind.”
Han, mah boogieyou was worthy of much better.
39. Star Wars: Yoda Stories (GBC)
You need to bear in mind that while Yoda is a precious character, this video game came before we ‘d ever seen him wield a lightsaber in what is quickly the very best scene in Attack of the ClonesIn spite of the name, in Yoda Stories you manage Luke Skywalker in a top-down experience as he chops snakes in 2 with his laser sword. How bad can that be? …
Truly rather bad, it ends up. ‘Sedate’ is too generous a word, and the entire video game is a technical humiliation. It’s appealing to blame the hardware, however then you take a look at Link’s Awakening and see what may have been. Link’s Awakening this ain’tPoodoo, plain and basic.
38. Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones (GBA)
Fittingly, possibly, the weakest film in the legend got among the weakest Star Wars video games ever. Typically we ‘d caution a declaration like that with ‘probably’, however Episode II is inescapably trousers in parts (other than for Mace Windu’s basic badassery which Yoda bit at the end– we keep in mind rather liking that).
The tie-in GBA video game is a turgid side-scrolling beat ’em up that does not have the creative polish even the dullest Star Wars video games give the table. Coarse, rough, and annoying.
37. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (NES)
A reasonably ho-hum 8-bit platformer where you play as young Skywalker fighting through variations of the places from the motion picture, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back might not be more typical. For kids desperate to play as hero Luke, it was satisfactory filler however no more.
A Game Boy variation likewise exists, however if you’re gagging to play through the very best movie of the legend in computer game kind, you’re better off choosing the 16-bit ‘Super’ version. LucasArts didn’t even trouble with an 8-bit Return of the Jedi — the designer merely leapt generations and began afresh with Super Star Wars on the SNES.
36. Star Wars (NES)
Another platformer. To be reasonable, it did a good task of offering some range and discussing the primary characters and places of the motion picture, however it’s quite unmemorable (and unforgiving).
The token Video game Boy variation upped the problem as it lowered screen property, however potentially the most intriguing of the 8-bit variations is the totally various and previously Famicom video game established by Namco in 1987. ‘Interesting’ since it’s not scared of deviating considerably from the source product and having Darth Vader become a scorpionNot ‘fascinating’ since it’s any excellent, regretfully.
35. Star Wars: Episode I: Obi-Wan’s Adventures (GBC)
Another one fast to tick the ‘dull’ and ‘recurring’ boxes, if you believe the isometric experiences on the GBA was difficult going on the eyes, Obi-Wan’s Adventures takes that design of video game back a console generation in an ‘experience’ set simultaneously versus the occasions of Episode 1. It’s not terriblesimply unsightly and totally pedestrian.
33. Star Wars: Lethal Alliance (DS)
Another Ubisoft entry, Star Wars: Lethal Alliance put a Twi’lek called Rianna on the cover, which has to do with the most interesting thing this third-person shooter has going all out.
Dumping lightsabers for blasters, the story includes characters brand-new and old (Kyle Katarn’s in it) and consists of the theft of the Death Star strategies before Rogue One shown up to clean the canon tidy. With required touchscreen shenanigans due to the fact that DSit’s not terrible by any methods, simply generic.
Star Wars is worthy of much better, no?
32. Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes (DS)
A tie-in with the motion picture and television programs surrounding the occasions in between Episodes II and III, it was the very same old story when it pertained to this action platformer. Unimaginative, unengaging, unexciting– choose. A minimum of the bad video games are truly bad and stimulated a feeling besides dissatisfaction. Republic Heroes is simply painfully, crushingly typical.
We’re off to remove our thesaurus due to the fact that we’re lacking words for ‘typical’.
