Squadrons is a fun game and worth the money you spend on it. I haven't played any multiplayer yet, so this review is for the single-player game only.

Squadrons makes a nice addition to my SW games library. It is exclusively a flying game, and has a more in-depth experience than flying in other games. The view is first-person from inside the cockpit, which makes the game more realistic. You can control your speed, re-arrange the power division between engines, cannons and shields. You can choose a flying loadout, ad for some missions you are given a choice of your starfighter. The combat is challenging yet fun, with varying objectives, the ships perform differently, you can give orders to your squad for the sake of teamwork, and you play from both sides of the battle: as the Republic and as the Empire.

The graphics are beautiful, the sound design accurate to the movies, the voice talent believablethe in-game characters well designed, and - best of all - there is much original SW soundtrack music!

The only downsides to the game are (so I have heard) the relatively small player base, the lack of visual customization of ships, and the unrealistic presentation of space. Because there is very little to no air out in space, one would not hear explosions and ship engines. But this is sci-fi, so that is ok.

Overall, this is a solid SW game, and worth the money. I would rate it a 7/10.
