I feel so proud. I got the PS2 because it was a cheap DVD Player for my room. Then my parents gave me Tekken Tag as well, so I thought that was cool, and proceeding to win: Devil May Cry, Max Payne, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2. Now I wanted a game and I wasn't winning, so I had to buy. Bah. So I've had it since Christmas and have bought 1 game. Excellent.

It's Jedi Starfighter, by the way. And it's class. So, yeah...go get it.

Cool.

That's probably due to your lack of skill. :-D

Yes I know. But then again, all GBA games are crap. The GBA is crap itself. Everything about the GBA smells of crapness.

Ahhhh my young padawan. You still have a lot to learn. F-Zero X is so much better than Wipeout. I own Fusion which is obviously the best of the series (don't tell me it isn't because all the other ones are totally dated now) and it isn't as good as F-Zero X. Not on one player and not on multiplayer. It is good but it didn't last anywhere as long as F-Zero.

Bah! Episode 1 ruled! The game and the film!

You all just didn't like it because you didn't like the film in the first place.

Racer lasting a weekend? I found it reasonably hard on the PC.

And I'm not comparing it, but F-Zero on the GBA is total crap. I'd know, I do own it...unfortunately.

Wipeout's the king of those games anyway.

It was just the time limit. It was easy to destroy all the missiles and a few of the bombers but then I ran out of time. Mind you, I did only try once.

And is the entire game that dull or did they just choose the most boring level imaginable for the demo? I mean, you're shooting missiles! Missiles don't fire back and they move extremely slowly!

X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter - now THERE are some quality Star Wars games. Back then games like these and Jedi Knight were common place... before the dark times. Before the horrors of the Episode 1 game...

The first starfighter is actually more fun.

It's more fun doing the bonus stuff, like X-Wing vs TIE Fighter.

Not even that

I remember installing the demo all those years ago, and as usual I didn't bother looking at the controls and played it straight away. Just like in the film, I was left at the starting line as I tried all the various keys, trying to find out what was what. I was lapped by everyone, then I finally knew what everything did so I started after them. And won the race. When a game is that easy, you know it's pants.

You can only lose if you crash into everything in sight, or just don't go anywhere at all
