What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Updated visuals, improved lighting, voice acting, enhanced cutscenes, and expansion content helped modernize the game while preserving its core mechanics.
The result is a surprisingly compelling campaign that combines tactical space combat, military storytelling, and deep simulation mechanics into an experience that still feels remarkably ambitious today.
So overall, good fun, lots of craft to fly, different weapons, flying with Star Destroyers on your side makes a great change... but it just goes on way too long.
The gameplay is fantastic, making you feel like you are a pilot for the Empire.
My Logitech Dual Action (Looks like a PS2 controller if you're unsure) is USB and works perfectly for this game.
TIE Fighter has a lot of starter training missions which can help get the beginner familiar with the game, and quickly ramps up in difficulty (Especially in the early missions when you fly as TIE fighters WITHOUT shields!).
