It's been out for a while now. I've had a chance to play it. It's pretty cool.

It's well done, so much so that if you're prone to motion sickness, it'll make you woozy.

Heard a rumor about DICE doing some limited arcade cabinets as a promo for the new Star Wars Battlefront game... can't find anything on the net to verify it though.
Building, collecting and playing arcade machines :)

They have this at "Level 257" in the Chicago area. I played it the two times I was there (2nd time was last Saturday). It made me woozy! Good thing I sucked at it. They also had a more modern jet fighter pod game next to it. I didn't get a chance to try that one.

Dave & Busters on I10 in Houston has it.  I enjoyed it and it had some fans in the cabinet that blew on you when you were moving quickly.  That was kind of cool on Endor.

I did the endor speeder run as well. Very good game. Only downside I felt like I was more of a gunner than a pilot. pretty much fixed to a rail.

It's a cool  idea but all they essentially did was revamp the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.  Still looks fun to play even though it's completely unoriginal.

Played one at a Dave and busters once... IMHO Mach Storm was better.
