Review by Trevor Rivers, 72%. "The game fails to put the Xbox's power to full use, but the fun that was available in the PlayStation 2 version is still fully intact."
Gamezilla
Review by Alex Karls, 80%. "Ultimately just a port of the original game, Starfighter retains its origins well, and adds enough extras to be an enjoyable ride."
GameZone
Review by Michael Lafferty, 94%. "This is what a flight sim should be. The first-person perspective is incredible, as are the graphics."
IGN
Reviewed by: Aaron Boulding, score 7.8/10. "It's definitely Starfighter, but we couldn't figure out what makes this edition special."
PlanetXbox
Review by Raymond Padilla, 73%. "Despite its lack of originality and ultimately disappointing graphics, Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition remains a decent, but far from great game."
The Armchair Empire
Review by Omni, 8/10. "It may not be as addicting as other Star Wars games but it does offer some fun."
The Electric Playground
Review by Jason MacIsaac, 75%. "Starfighter SE will not astound you with mind-blowing graphics and innovation, but as a wise man once said, it's a reasonably solid debut title."
TotalGames.net
Review by Keith Edwards, 63%. "Starfighter is simply an average game that happens to have a Star Wars license, and that's not enough to make it worth a purchase. Its worst problem is that it can be repetitive and boring."
XBox Exclusive
Review by Pete Calderwood, 89%. "As long as you don't mind flying Episode 1 spacecraft instead of X-Wings and Tie Fighters, Starfighter would be a worthy addition to your game collection."
