XBOX' PLAYERS TO FEEL THE FORCE OF STAR WARS: EPISODE II IN LUCASARTS' STAR WARS: JEDI STARFIGHTER

Star Wars Jedi Starfighter for Xbox to Release in May Coincident with Premiere of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones

LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC will unleash the power of the Force on the Xbox video game system this May with the release of Star Wars Jedi Starfighter. The game, which launched to critical acclaim last week on PlayStation 2, will give Xbox gamers a chance to experience the exhilaration of piloting the Jedi starfighter from the upcoming film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.

The Republic's new prototype Jedi starfighter possesses advanced capabilities no pilot, craft or weapon has previously had -- Force lightning, Force shield, Force reflex and Force shock wave.

Star Wars Jedi Starfighter for Xbox presents more than 20 breathtaking one and two-player cooperative story-based missions set amidst a variety of new and beautifully rendered worlds and environments from Attack of the Clones.

In addition to the ultra-fast, ultra sleek Jedi starfighter, players can battle in three other original heavily armed and highly maneuverable craft, the Havoc, Zoomer and Freefall. Missions take place over land and in space, with players skirmishing against more than 40 starships and capital-class vessels - including some notable enemy craft from the Star Wars: Episode II film.
