Rating: Summary: Great game Review: I really enjoyed this game. It had many impressive weapons,as well as the tactics used to deploy them. Have no fear, parents. This game dishes out dire consequences if the kids start killing innocent sentience, meaning that you can't go on a killing rampage and live to tell about it. This game has a moderate amount of solvable puzzles, and bosses that will keep you interested. The only puzzle that will have you throw the computer out the window is the trading in the Mos Espa level. I like a challenge. It personally didn't bother me, but the graphics had flaws(most of which I found humourous). For example, if you try to talk to someone with your lightsaber up, as you talk, your saber will be coming out the back of the person's head, without harming them. My only disapointment is that there is no lightsaber dueling. You get into a fight with Darth Maul, on several occasions, but you can't block his saber, and visa-versa, which means it is a bloodbath(figure of speech, there is no blood)between the two of you. It is true that the final battle with Maul is somewhat easy, but that is what the skill codes are for. In short, if your looking for a good game without needless killing, this is it. As for replayability, I've had The Phantom Menace for two years, and I still play it.
Rating: Summary: An OK game Review: The Phantom Menace. Sometimes this game seems like an excellent one, while at others it is downright boring and silly.The graphics, while not the best, are certainly the best i'll ever see on my fast-approaching obsolete computer. They are still pretty impressive though, as are the reflections, particle trails, and other little graphical effects. The sounds and voices are all pretty good too. While the first few levels and the last few levels are pretty much fun, the Tatooine levels are boring and silly. Also, after playing the jedi for half of the game, you feel immeasurably weak when you are forced to play as panaka or the queen with her wimpy "droid stunner" gun. The first time you play this game, it is pretty fun and challenging. Most of the puzzles aren't too difficult, but then you get to those jumping puzzles like the one on level three, and due to the awkward POV and controls, it takes twenty minutes to cross that little bit of water. This becomes a constant problem later...little jumping puzzles that take a vast amount of time and get very annoying very fast. It's also annoying running around tatooine, running when people try to kill you but not allowed to kill them, and trying to trade things back and forth. Fortunately, the darth maul fights are pretty cool. The second time you play the game, it's extremely easy, and I don't think I died once, and I beat the game in one sitting. Boring, fast, this game is fun the first time but has no replayability value. Add to that the lack of variety in enemies (100's of battle droids with once and a while a destroyer thrown in), and the lack of multiplayer, and you get a game which is decent but not worth the original $50 price. Now that the price has gone down, if you like these types of games, I'd recommend trying it, but if you prefer shoot-em-up action games, stear clear of this one.
Rating: Summary: good game, but with some bugs Review: This is a great game and its fun too, but the bugs get annoying. but first the good things. The graphics are fairly good, the gameplay is good, the levels ar good, the weapons are good, and i like all the Characters you are in the diffirent levels, and it challenges you. Now the bad stuff. the camera views get messed up some times, some times the the characters repeat what they just said, some times it locks up when you try to save a game, some times the sound gets messed up (and its not my sound card), and some times the characters start saying things when a. they all ready said it b. your not even close to them. But overall this is a good game, and i recommend it to any one who likes star wars or adventure/Action games.
Rating: Summary: Better than the Gungan Frontier and Star Wars Racer! Review: Okay, so people rate this game really bad. But they're only doing it so they won't be embarrased. The Graphics are stupendis and the sound is 100% awesome. I like how you can be Queen Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Captain Panaka, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even though I'm stuck at the part where you have to guide the Queen to the hangar at her ship, it's still SWEET! I give this game 100 thumbs up!
Rating: Summary: A must for Star Wars fans Review: This game is incredible. The graphics and sound are amazing. The music is from the actual soundtrack and it ties in with what your character is doing at the moment. I actually felt like I was watching the movie again. The game is loosely based on the movie, the settings are the same, some of the quests are different, but the whole thing is fun to play. You start out as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but later on in the game your character changes to Qui-Gon Jinn, Captain Panaka, or Queen Amidala. Lots of action on some levels, like the Naboo Invasion with plenty of enemies, and plenty of puzzle solving on levels such as the Mos Espa levels. I enjoyed playing this game more than any other game I have played in years. END
Rating: Summary: Awesome Game! A Must-Have Review: This game is the best. You get to be Obi wan, qui-gon, Panaka, and queen amidala. the gameplay is awesome, the graphics are perfect, and the a.i. is good. the only problem is that it is simple to beat darth maul in the final battle. I bought this game and i played it over and over again. All star wars fans must have this game!
Rating: Summary: great game Review: This game was great I loved it the grapics are not the best but the game play is great and and I loved how you can play as differnt peaple throughout the game and how the mission are not all the same and you get to go in all these cool places seen in the movie.It was great I did not take me very long to beat I loved it.So if your a star wars fan I woud recomaend this game our star wars jedi knight 2.
Rating: Summary: Good Review: The graphics are pretty good and the scenery is supurb. Its like looking at a piece of art. the AI lacks a bit but what it lacks in AI it makes up for in shere beauty. The game also does well to follow the film, although for people who have seen the film. Don't dismay, there are planty of side quests to surprise you. All in all, well done LucasArts, a good piece of work, many games on films do lack somewhat in what they can be but you've managed to pull through.
Rating: Summary: Cool game! Review: Whats cool about this game is that it has puzzels that are hard but not to hard. The fighting is easy after you learn a few skills like back up to the corner when the enemy charges at you! The only level i really got stuck on was the gungan one, i did get stuck on the last level but isn't that what last levels are for? Graphics 3 stars Ok during the game but the movies are almost as good as the film. Sound 4 stars Good music but i get kind of sick of the same people talking saying the samething. Gameplay 5 stars Gameplay is awesome
Rating: Summary: TPM: Great fun, but once you've beat it, it's over. Review: This game is just great fun. I highly recommend this for the PC gamers who are like me and were really ticked off when Microsoft put Obi-Wan on the Xbox instead of the PC. In The Phantom Menace (TPM)you spend most of the game as Obi-Wan, wielding a lightsaber and cutting into droids (Much fun!). However, there is more to the game then cutting down battle droids. (You can use this excuse to get your parents to buy you the game) You have to solve brain-stimulating (wink, wink) puzzles and navigate through 11 levels of challenges, and in some levels, you hardly need to draw a weapon at all. Unfortunetly, like the film, it has a downside. There is, of course, Jar Jar Binks, the most annoying creature in the galaxy. (It's fun to get him with a saber) Also, when you get to the end and beat Darth Maul, that's it, the game is over. And unless you want to keep playing it over and over and over and over again (which I do), you're going to get bored quickly. So, all in all, TPM is a great game, it just needs to be a little longer.
