What about Gladius and Mercenaries.
They may not be the best games ever... But hardly "arcadey Star Wars games with wonky controls."
I will admit that it was a bit of a broad generalization. It looks to me as if Lucasarts hit a slump and is climbing its way back up, which is good. But let us not forget the travesty that was "Star Wars: Force Commander".
I personally had high expectations for the ROTS game, but was let down because it was basically a ripoff of the LOTR movie-games. Except not quite as good. The voice actors sound like their extremely tired, it's 3 a.m. at the office, and they wanna go home.
Honestly, to me the only noteworthy Star Wars games to come out recently are the KOTORs (not being a SWG nerd like a lot of people I know my age).
I didn't think Rebel Assault 2 was that bad, but then again, the last time I played it was when I was around 8 years old, so I could be wrong.
Take Star Wars: Battlefront, for example. Excellent idea, mediocre execution. It's pretty fun, yes (for a while, anyway), but it is a pretty buggy game. The ship combat was terrible, and the Dark Troopers were way too wimpy, not to mention poor collision detection. Hopefully they'll have these bugs worked out for Battlefront 2.
I personally wish they'd stop with the Star Wars games and hurry up with Monkey Island 5 already!!
By the way, does anybody else here remember "Grim Fandango"?
