Summary
LucasArts has released the best that Star Wars gaming has to offer on the PC. It takes a rather gargantuan franchise to be able to do that and only skim the surface of what's available, but such is Star Wars. Crossing a plethora of genres, this mammoth bundle offers up hundreds of hours of gameplay across five different titles as well as a 14-day trial of the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies.
Star Wars: Empire at War is a 3D real-time strategy (RTS) set in more than 40 well known ground and space locations from the Star Wars Universe, including Yavin IV, Tatooine and Dagobah. The game puts the power to command an entire war for the Star Wars galaxy in the hands of you the player, giving you the freedom to determine how you play the game.
Knights of the Old Republic, an RPG, plunges you into an expansive Star Wars universe, complete with a compelling storyline, considerable character development, intuitive combat system and, of course, lightsabers. The game is set long before the Galactic Civil War, and tells of the beginning of an epic drama in the Golden Age of the Republic, more than 4,000 years before the events of the first Star Wars film. With the Galaxy reeling from a recent conflict with the Dark Lords, the ongoing battle between Jedi and Sith rages on.
Star Wars: Battlefront, a game designed with online play in mind, sees players undertaking virtual remakes of some of the most memorable battles from episodes I, II, IV, V and VI. Because the game is based in the gargantuan universe of Star Wars, battles are dispersed across a massive array of fictional worlds. There are 15 familiar locales in all that spread themselves across 10 troublesome planets, all of which are host to a variety of shooting, driving and platform elements of play.
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast offers up classic first person action as you take on the role of Kyle Katarn, a former Jedi coming out of retirement to combat (or take part in) a new evil rising in the galaxy.
Rounding things out is Star Wars: Republic Commando. In this FPS, players take charge of a four man team of elite Republic clone commandos and delve into the inner workings of Star Wars armies.
Throw in the trial for Galaxies and Star Wars: The Best of PC is about as expansive a package as a fan could ask for.
