I loved how it came with the five best Star Wars games! Game #1. Star Wars Empire AT War: Rating: 9 out of 10 What I liked about this game is how you got to control all of the the land units and space units (including the Death Star) to strive to take over the galaxy! You are able to play as the Rebels and The Galactic Empire. Game #2. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: Rating: 10 out of 10 It has a great story line and great game play! All of the characters have full voice lines (except for your character). You get to make your adventures and choose if you want to go the dark side or light side! All of your party members have back stories! The graphics could have been a little better but if you see this game in H-E-B or Target you should really buy it! Game #3. Star Wars BattleFront: Rating: 10 out of 10 In this game you can fight in the Star Wars universe any way you want! You can play in Galactic Conquest, Instant Action, or Campaign! The graphics are great and you can even play multiplayer with friends. Game #4. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast: Rating 12 out of 10 This is the LucasArts game from 2002 that took the Dark Forces franchise to the next level in a good way. It pays homage to the original in its first few levels of "Force-free" gameplay while providing an intruiging and challenging action setting allowing the player to blast through scads of Stormtroopers, blow up stuff, and in general solve basic puzzles to complete missions. Later on, with addition of being able to use the Force, the player is treated to a rewarding experience of playing a Jedi. The environment requires the use of Force abilities to not only defeat enemies but to complete missions and manages to make it fun as well. Cameos from a couple of prominent characters from the films as well as familiar settings round out the experience. Wanted to see more of Cloud City? No problem. Want to visit the Yavin IV Jedi Praxeum? No worries! Want to "slice and dice" bad guys with your lightsaber and cut off limbs and digits while besting the baddies? You got it. It's a rewarding experience and true to Star Wars production values, it looks, sounds, and feels like you're playing your own movie. Those concerned about inappropriate levels of violence or gore should not worry too much. The level of gore is typical Star Wars fare. There are no gratuitous blood or splatters (lightsabers and blasters cauterize after all). Violence may be something to watch as there are at times plenty of foes to dispatch and the pace can get frenetic. Certain foes' demise (as well as the player's) result in a panoramic view of the death which does tend to glorify it (or rub your face in it). Unfortunately, as is Raven Software's (the developer) pattern, while the game play is great, the depth of it is only skin-deep. Players wishing for actual conversations with NPCs will be disappointed as will those wanting to customize certain aspects of a Jedi that are "supposed to be" customizable accoridng to Star Wars canon, namely the lightsaber and Force abilities. All are mapped out for you ahead of time and you don't get any say in the matter during the single-player experience. I highly recommend this game! Game #5. Star Wars Republic Commando: Rating: 11 out of 10 I came summarize this whole game in two words. Awesome game. You are a commando and you go on greatly detailed missions. And don't worry about the gore. The graphics and gameplay is great. Although the end is sad.Read full review
It comes with several older Star Wars games that I use to play. It was a joy having all of them again in one complete package. It comes with Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, Knights of the Old Republic, Republic Commando, Empire at War, Battlefront and a 14 Day trial of the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG. It does provide hours of entertainment and many of those games now have user developed mods which can greatly enhance the diversibility (is that a word?) and playablity of these already good games.
Even if you don't like all the games, it would be difficult not find one that is addictive. The RPG is great, I love personalizing the lightsabers, etc. 10 years later it's still fun to play... Also it's cool that you can play as an evil Sith or a goody Jedi, and get different results from playing as such. Battlefront is a little slow compared to BF2, but it's still fun to play.

I got this mainly for Knights of the Old Republic. I think this is one of the best games of the century, and easily the best Star Wars game I have played. Amazing story, dynamic play, varied worlds, amazing plot twist, interesting characters - this is what gaming is all about. Maybe someday I'll try the other games in the package out.
Sad when i found out i could have gotten KOTOR from Steam for cheaper, but the set of games is awesome. KOTOR does have some issues running on some PCs but with enough tweaking it will stop crashing for the most part. Not a deal breaker for such a great game. Everything else works good
