Gamespot has a new three page preview of Jedi Starfighter. Here's a few paragraphs:

While the game has the same structure as the original Starfighter, there have been some noticeable changes and additions to the gameplay that keep things interesting. The most obvious addition is Adi Gallia's ship, a Jedi craft that offers a first glimpse at an Episode II vehicle. The snub-nosed craft bears a resemblance to the A-Wing fighters seen in Return of the Jedi and possesses some very special abilities. In addition to having the standard assortment of blasters, the Jedi starfighter will let you use force powers during battle, which changes how you'll battle your foes. As you progress through the game, you'll eventually gain access to four abilities: force lightning, force shield, force reflex, and force shockwave. Force lightning is an area-affect attack that damages enemy craft. Force shield grants invulnerability that deflects enemy weapons fire for a limited amount of time. Force reflex is a Matrix-style bullet-time effect that slows other craft around you and increases your rate of fire and turning speed. Force shockwave is a multidirectional shockwave that emanates from your ship and damages any craft around you.

Our time with Jedi Starfighter left us suitably impressed. It manages to build on the original game without breaking it. The refinements and additions to the gameplay and graphics are well implemented. The Jedi powers were a breeze to pick up after a few minutes of experimenting with the timing and visual cues. The cooperative modes also worked very well and left us looking forward to the game's release. Star Wars fans eager for a taste of what's to come in Episode II or anyone looking for a solid space combat game for the PS2 will want to be on the lookout for the game when it ships this March.
