As a Nintendo kid I was so assmad that I could only play the gba version of that game. I would even use the GCN attachment to play it on the TV and pretend I got the "cool" 3d version of the game instead of the 2d beat em up.
I was an adult before I realized that the gba version was actually the better game overall.
>>
>>12597353
Yeah I was gonna say, the RotS gba game is one of the best beat em ups I've ever played.
>>
Jedi Knight
Rogue Squadron 2
Republic Commando
Battlefront
Jedi Power Battles
Racer

The Jedi Academy series, Tie-Fighter, Star Wars on the SNES, that racing game. There are so many great Star Wars games and Star Wars-inspired games. You could argue that every good game is Star Wars-like.

For me, it's Galactic Battlegrounds.
>>
>>12597303
The KOTOR games and Rogue Squadron for me. I'm biased though since I really don't like Star Wars as an IP outside of a few various games so I don't really care that KOTOR 2 goes against the 'spirit' of the OG movies or whatever.

>>12597303
>no one ITT has mentioned Dark Forces or Shadows of the Empire

this board has bad taste
>>
>>12598105
I thought about adding Shadows of the Empire but the controlls are just to slippery (that fucking canyon level)

A biy unpolished but I spent more time on rebllion than any other star wars game. The fleet combat is rebel hit and run with fighters, while empire js about "more big ships win", but sending in hero units like Han or Vader to fuck up enemy shipyards and other facilities is great.
>>
>>12598105
Tbf almost none of the games listed so far are bad. SW pumped out consistently good games back in the day
>>
>>12598424
I was think about it lately, but while people are divisive about the films... Virtually everyone agrees that the games are good, it's also impressive when you think about it, 10 whole years (1996-2006) of good games
>>
>>12598420
I'll have to give this a try sometime, I picked it up on gog way back but never played it same with >>12598002

I just get too locked-in to Empire at War mods that I forget about the other SW rts games.
>>
>>12598105
We had a Star Wars threat earlier this month with people talking about both those games.
>>
Dark Forces II and Jedi Academy.

Battlefront 1

Episode 3 on the GBA/DS is a really fun beat em up. Only difference between the versions is that on the DS you also had these 3D spaceship sections in between the 2D levels.
>>
TPS- Battlefront 2
RPG - KOTOR
FPS - Republic Commando
the rest aren't worth playing
>>
>>12597303
You listed one of them. RotS console version is an excellent hack and slash style game. You have good taste, son. I'm proud of you. Another great one is Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Wars, also on the OG Xbox. Your Mother didn't see me for three days straight after a work buddy let me borrow that one. Those were the days.. the newer star wars games are kinda gay ass. Don't care for them

Juat a note on rebllion, it came with a 170 page manual and was non-inuitive, especially how shipyard and planetary development works.

It makes you really appreciate quality of life improvements over the last 2 decades for games like stellaris. You have to put on your 1997 googles to enjoy rebellion. People either love it or hate it.
