Review:
(Note: There are multiple Star Wars bundles on Nintendo Switch. If you want a breakdown of which bundles contain which games, please check this page.)
Star Wars: Prequel Pack is a Compilation of four games all set within the timeframe of the Star Wars prequel trilogy of films, originally released over two decades ago and remastered for release on modern platforms in separate releases, with this bundle releasing in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:
| Game | Genre | # of Players | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Wars: Bounty Hunter | Third-Person Shooter | 1 | C- |
tl;drStar Wars: Bounty Hunter is a Third-Person Shooter set between the events of Star Wars Episode I and Episode II, starring the bounty hunter Jango Fett. It was a serviceable but sub-par entry in the franchise back when it was first released nearly 25 years ago, and this remaster doesn’t change that. As Star Wars games go, you could do worse, but you could also do much, much better. | |||
| Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles | Action | 1-2 Co-Op (Local) | D- |
tl;drStar Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is an Action game set during the first of the Star Wars prequels, and it’s even worse than the movie is. Everything from the combat to the platforming is terrible here, and the visuals haven’t aged well either. Do not buy this. | |||
| Star Wars Episode I Racer | Futuristic Racing | 1-2 Competitive (Local Splitscreen) | C+ |
tl;drStar Wars Episode I Racer is a port (not a remake) of the classic N64 podracing game, although taking off the nostalgia goggles reveals a racing game that’s visually ugly by today’s standards and doesn’t have too much going on in the gameplay department to set it apart. It’s decent, but not the great racing game many remember. | |||
| Star Wars: Republic Commando | First-Person Shooter | 1 | C+ |
tl;drStar Wars: Republic Commando is still a decent First-Person Shooter even 15 years after its original release, but not an especially noteworthy one. While the game has aged reasonably well, it doesn’t do anything all that noteworthy for the genre. It’s still a decent entry in the genre, but without its license there wouldn’t be much here to recommend it over other more modern First-Person Shooters. | |||
In short, none of these games is especially great, and at least one of them is outright terrible. The best of the bunch are Episode I Racer and Republic Commando, but neither of those games are as good as people often seem to remember them being.
Still, perhaps you’re a Star Wars fan looking to relive a few classic action games in the franchise, wondering if this is a good deal. Well, at $65 this is only shaving $5 off the $70 it would cost you to get these games separately, and if you look at sale prices, you’re only saving at most $2-$3 over the price of getting these games separately. This hardly seems like a bargain when you could just buy all of these games except Jedi Power Battles, save a good deal more money, and not be stuck owning that absolute garbage pile of a game.
With this being the case, I absolutely cannot recommend buying Star Wars: Prequel Pack. Even if you don’t care that none of the games in this bundle are especially good, it’s just not a very good deal. Just stick to buying the games you want instead.
tl;dr – Star Wars: Prequel Pack is a Compilation containing four games all set within the timeframe of the Star Wars prequel trilogy of films. None of these games is especially great, and one of them is outright terrible, and this bundle doesn’t even give you a good bargain for getting the games together. If you want any of these games, just get them on their own and skip the bundle.
