Finally, a Star Wars game for the iPhone! Take control of the Incom T-65 X-Wing, blow up the Death Star and (also) cause a dent on Darth Vader’s TIE-Advanced x1. That’s what you get with the newly released game, Star Wars: Trench Run.

Your mission: Use the Force to destroy the Death Star before it can fire upon the small Rebel base on Yavin’s jungle moon. As part of the Rebel Alliance’s Red Squadron, players dogfight with TIE fighters above the Death Star’s surface, dodging obstacles and laser-fire as they maneuver into position to target a small thermal exhaust port the size of a womp rat. If successful, a direct hit will cause a chain reaction that will destroy the Death Star, thus saving the Rebel base from impending doom.

Game features:

• Force Power – Slow down time and increase agility to bring TIE fighters into shooting range, and to dodge obstacles while flying down the trench.
• Breathtaking 3D Experience – Incredible 3D graphics based on the original Star Wars movie.
• Hidden Features – Players are just going to have to find out what these are.
• Amazing Special Effects – Including lighting, advanced shaders, explosions and incredible life-like models.
• Original Music and Sound Effects – Combined with real movie footage for complete immersion into the Star Wars universe.
• True-Life Flight – Accelerometer controls with life-like physics.
• Addictive Game Play – Ever increasing challenges, and tons of replay value.
• Multiple Points of View – Featuring both chase cam and cockpit modes.
• Mission Mode – With story board, music and dialogue from the original Star Wars movie
• Arcade Modes – For increased re-playability, includes both Trench Run and Dog Fighting modes.
• Multiple Difficulty Levels – From Easy to Jedi.
• Optimized Gaming Experience – To work on the 3G, with special graphical features for the 3GS, iPod Touch 2nd Gen and future devices.
• Leader Boards – Players compete against others across the world for the top spot. Find out who are the true Jedi.

Star Wars: Trench Run is developed by leading studio Infrared5 in conjunction with LucasFilm Ltd. The game leverages the iPhone platform to deliver simple motion controls and realistic game play to enable players to recreate one of their favorite scenes from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The game was delayed recently due to the fact that it was using the Unity engine.

Star Wars: Trench Run is available now exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch at $4.99 a copy. Check it out. And may the Force be with you.
