Star Wars: Starfighter is a singleplayer first-person and third-person action, shooter and vehicle combat game in the Star Wars series.

The PC version is based on the PlayStation 2 version rather than the Special Edition Xbox version. As a result, it is missing the multiplayer mode from the Xbox version.
