13. Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo (2000) | N64, PC
Two years after releasing the original Rogue Squadron, Factor 5’s Battle for Naboo delivered another tight, fun-to-play Star Wars game, and it looked better too. Like Starfighter, Battle for Naboo is set during the prequel era, which was criticized at the time but today doesn’t seem like a huge problem. And like Rogue Squadron III it includes some ground missions, but these didn’t suffer from that game’s cumbersome and clunky controls, making them somewhat boring—but not frustrating—additions to an otherwise solid starship game. And the opening of the game kills Jar-Jar Binks, which easily bumps it up a few slots on this list.
