Revenge of the 5th? More like revenge of the flag runner who jumped off the map.

🎥 Let’s start by showing y’all the trailers shall we?

🔁 Déjà Vu, But on PS2

Yeah, I know this is a bit redundant, but I wanted to take a look at the PS2 version of this game since I already reviewed the Xbox/Xbox-compatible version and the recent Classic Collection. I now wanna take a look back at the PS2 version.

That’s right—reviewing with the one I started with, which was the PS2 version.

Also, the only main difference between this version and the Xbox version is: the PS2 version doesn’t have the DLC planets or characters, plus the graphics seem rougher on the PS2, which makes sense.

📚 Fun Facts Before We Blast Off

Fun fact: this game was made in 10 months. That’s right—10 months. And keep in mind this game has 28 planets (4 of which came in a DLC pack that’s only available on Xbox One), and 6 of the other maps are space maps.

So in total, there are 18 ground maps… 22 if you count the 4 that came in the DLC pack. Each level has up to 4 or 3 game modestures the flag.

🏁 Game Modes Breakdown

1-flag CTF and 2-flag CTF
Capture the flag.
The 2-flag one is difficult—you have to capture the enemy’s flag and prevent them from getting your flag.
Assault (two kinds)
Space assault is when you have to gain 180 points by destroying parts of the ship or killing enemies.
The other Assault is Heroes vs Villains—the only level that has that is Mos Eisley.
Hunt Mode
It’s a mode where you can play as iconic creatures. Hunt mode is only available on Endor, Geonosis, Hoth, Naboo, and Kashyyyk.
- On Endor, you can play as Ewoks or Stormtroopers.
- On Hoth, you can play as Wampas or Rebels (Wampas being those snow creatures from Empire Strikes Back).
- On Kashyyyk, it’s Wookiees or droids.
- On Naboo, it’s droids or Gungans.

I hate Gungans.
If you don’t know what a Gungan is—well, remember Jar Jar Binks?

Yeah, that’s a Gungan.
Now just imagine a whole lot of them… oh boy.

I get pleasure playing as droids and killing those annoying beings.

👀 Little Details That Go Hard

This game has a lot of details or references. For example:

On Jabba’s Palace level, you can see Jabba the Hutt—and you can fall into his Rancor pit.
And yeah—the Rancor is alive. If you get close to it, it’ll grab you and eat you.

On Dagobah, if you go into the cave, you can faintly hear Darth Vader breathing. Eerie.

The whole planet is filled with fog. Even eerier.

🌟 Unlocking Heroes (The Fun Way)

I love that in this game you have to earn the ability to play as heroes and villains. You have to gain a certain number of points, and depending on the map, it’s set to a specific hero and villain.

On Geonosis, you can play as Mace Windu or Count Dooku. Makes sense—they were both there in the film.
On Mustafar (Empire game mode), you can play as Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker. Again, makes sense.
On Hoth, you can play as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.

BTW—Hoth is the only level that allows you to play as Luke Skywalker in a pilot outfit and with his blue lightsaber.

His default is a Return of the Jedi appearance.

🚗 Drive Everything (Even the Enemy’s Stuff)

Also, in each level, there’s a vehicle.
I love it. Guess what? You can ride enemy vehicles too.

Again—I love this game. I still play it to this day.

📖 Story Mode Shenanigans

This game has a story mode that takes place during Revenge of the Sith, where you get to play as the 501st—Vader’s best army. You get to see those clones’ point of view of Order 66… aka the great Jedi purge.

The story mode ends after the first attack on Hoth. I don’t know why.

Also, I should warn you: there’s stupid stuff in the story mode. Like “protect this area from enemies for 5 minutes” 🙄.

OK. and then what? Go do something else?

Yeah, those suck—especially the level where you attack the Jedi Temple and you have to prevent Jedi Masters from destroying library books for 5 minutes.

And oh yeah—you’re basically the only one protecting the books because your teammates are morons.
