4. Star Wars: TIE Fighter

As good as X-Wing was, most space sim fans regard its first full fledged sequel, TIE Fighter, to be a superior game when it was released in 1995. With better graphics, a more involved storyline and overall a better game design, TIE Fighter made you play as the "bad guys" as you piloted a number of Imperial space craft to crush the insignificant Rebellion. An expansion pack for the game was also released.

3. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader

While the original game in the Rogue Squadron series was a solid action game, the sequel from developer Factor 5 really upped the ante in full blown space based arcade shooting action. It's also notable in that it was a exclusive GameCube title that was one of the very few highlights of the Nintendo's launch of the console in 2001. With some great graphics and its use of both recreated Star Wars battles and original sequences, Rogue Leader is just a fun time for all without the heavy space sim stuff that the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games have.

2. Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight

While the original Dark Forces first person shooter was quite a good game there was definitely room for improvement. However, gamers were not prepared for how improved the sequel, Dark Force II: Jedi Knight, actually turned out to be when it was released in 1997. Following the journey of the first game's main character Kyle Katarn, the game turns this Han Solo like fighter into a true Jedi Knight. The combo of first person action, the use of Force powers, some incredible level design and a storyline that depending on how you used your Force powers could turn Kyle to the Dark Side makes this title one of the best first person action games ever made.
