So none of the above will get me blasting about in an X-Wing?
Nope, but you might be able to pick X-Wing Alliance if you look around, that'll sort you

Brilliant game
Shame it was really buggy.
whats the lego star wars like?
i played KOTOR and its sequel and enjoyed them but i never gave the lego one a try any good as i might pick it up, im in dire need of some distraction as im feeling a little left out of pc games at the moment.

Cheers, I'll look out for it. (I assume it'll have "Ceefax" graphics? )

I'm amazed it's been nearly 10 years since the last proper X Wing game appeared. It's one of my real PC gaming gripes that a new version hasn't been made. Trouble is, if it was it'd be dumbed down to some depressing level. And with the exception of KOTOR, that 'Best Of' collection is a disgrace.
The graphics are 'crisp' in a 1999 way, but certainly not state of the art. To be honest though if you get in to it you'll be too busy breaking your joystick evading Tie Fighters while desperately hammering the F9 and F10 keys to notice the lack of 2008 graphical niceties!

I managed to break three thrustmaster joysticks playing through x-wing and TIE fighter and another cyborg stick with x-wing alliance
Those function keys have never seen so much use since. Wish they would make a new x-wing and TIE game, my all time favorite games.It's new enough that the graphics don't get in the way of the gameplay. The original xwing is just too ancient at this stage, even tough it had some of the most amazing missions I've ever seen in a space combat game.
Alliance has about 6 or 7 boring missions at the start before you join the alliance and get into the good missions, but then it gets really good.
Lego star wars (1 and/or 2) is awesome. a little buggy at times, I found, though. but great fun. Been playing the complete saga to death with my flatmate on the wii.
