10 Severely Underrated Star Wars Games You Must Play

Forget Battlefront, these are what you really need to call yourself a fan.

Let's start out with a bold declarative statement of intent: I actually don€™t think the prequels are that bad. Sure, they€™re a bit of a mess at times €“ particularly where the Gungans are concerned €“ but there€™s enough in there to be enjoyable films, and since I€™m not a Star Wars purist, I€™m not going to froth at the mouth over any perceived damage that the prequels do to the lore. Plus, we get to hear Emperor Palpatine€™s awesome voice a whole lot more. What is unquestionable, however, is that the prequels brought the series back into the spotlight, and offered it to a newer, younger audience. The series€™ popularity spiked again €“ and with popularity comes tie-ins; from comics to figurines and especially games. Even though many Star Wars games aren€™t directly tied to any of the movies, they are given a €œsignal boost€ merely by being a part of a well-known franchise. Some rely on this more than others; a lot of movie games, especially direct movie tie-in games, rely on the success of the name rather than being a good game in their own right. However, there are a good amount of gems hidden amongst them, you just have to look.
