While the Star Wars films do a great job of making you feel like you're right there alongside the pilots during those Death Star-orbiting dogfights, you rarely get a chance to take in the battle as a whole.
The Star Wars: Requiem mod adds a staggering amount of content, from new ship types and planets to subtle touches like character portraits and additional music tracks. This galactic RTS is already epic in scope, but when you toss in a couple thousand TIE Fighters and the Star Destroyers to back them up, the amount of space battle fantasy fulfillment goes off the charts. Shoutouts are in order: commenter LordZarlon turned us on to this massive mod, which puts the 'Empire' in Sins of Solar Empire. You're sure to gain a newfound respect for Han Solo's piloting skills when you try to fly this thing between skyscrapers, given that you'll probably be crashing this behemoth of a spaceship into buildings nonstop.īut thanks to the limitations of the mod, you won't get a scratch on the Falcon no matter how poorly you drive it. When you're ready to move up a weight class or fifty, you can spawn a to-scale version of the Millennium Falconwhich makes all those other rides look like little baby toys. Grand Theft Auto 4 mods offer myriad options for custom character models and cars, and it just so happens that two of the greatest user-made vehicles are Star Wars-related.įirst off is that iconic Return of the Jedi speeder bikewhich is seemingly and hilariously indestructible if this video is any indication. The denizens of Liberty City are constantly worried about being the victim of yet another carjacking, but until now, they never had to deal with a maniac zooming around on a laser-blasting speeder bike.
If you consider yourself a Star Wars fan, these are the mods you're looking for. Other ambitious mods offer complete conversions that can live up to the quality of bona fide Lucasarts games rest in peaceby the way.
Something as simple as a carefully modeled vehicle or the glow of a lightsaber can bring on a rush of Star Wars nostalgia. But what if you could add a dash of Star Wars goodness to the PC games you know and love - even the ones that have nothing to do science fiction? Provided you've found the right mod, you can transform a game you already own into something reminiscent of George Lucas' seminal sci-fi universe. Not that you'd necessarily want to, either for all the greats like Knights of the Old Republic and Rogue Squadron, you've also got time-forgotten stinkers like Super Bombad Racing and Masters of Teras Kasi. It would cost you a fortune to buy every Star Wars game ever made.
