To start with the good – character models are mostly solid and although slightly blurry, you’ll certainly tell the difference between each faction’s units. I’d go as far as to say it looks worse than its prequel Renegade Squadron and by no means an ugly game, I feel developer Rebellion certainly could have done better.
If you’re an outsider, Elite Squadron definitely isn’t a good entry point to the franchise but if not it’s a fun time exploring these places you’ll have seen in the films.ĭespite being a 2009 PSP game, Elite Squadron is far from the best the console has to offer. World-building is done through explorations of the planets which form the levels of the game – these are always interesting, but again rely on a knowledge of the IP. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever experienced, but it’s certainly forgettable and feels like filler – the kind of thing that’s easily forgotten once the game has been put down. My biggest problem with the plot is that it merely feels like a convenience to allow the player to experience all these major battles from Star Wars history without attempting to be a good story in its own right.
