Summary: It's cool
Review: I'm not really much into top of the line graphics and all that stuff. I play a game if it sounds fun. So yeah the graphics aren't the best but the games alot of fun. Several people were complaining about Tatooine levels. If you play it the way you're supposed to then yeah its sorta boring. I don't play it the way I'm supposed to when I've finished the game once. Try attacking some random people or walking throu the dung. Make it interesting do it your way, if you want to run through the streets of Tatooine and killing every person in sight and being chased by all the guards, swinging their vibroaxes at you and yelling "You're a no good killer," and stuff like at you than do so. I've always liked padme in the movies so playing her is pretty fun, yeah when you first get her she has an extremely wimpy stun blaster, but if you look behind you or go into nearby buildings, there are grenades, blasters, and proton torpedo launchers. The level on Coruscant is my least favorite in the entire game, just because running around in the depthes of Coruscaht trying to find Queen Amidala gets annoying. The only other level I don't like is the 4th level, which takes Obi-Wan trying to get Queen Amidala out of Theed, while having to get her past AAT's and bunches of droids, and if you leave her alone too long they'll say "The Queen has been killed," when she alives you get sayings such as "YOu're stepping on my dress," and "I never knew Jedi could be so rude," from her. Overall it's a really fun game just play it your way, explore, do what you please on it, (within what the game allows of course)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thoroughly entertaining
Review: It's been awhile, but I recall first playing this game with my brother and us declaring it the most enjoyable LucasArts venture yet. Yes it has its flaws, especially now in 2004 when videogame graphics have since made stunning advancements. But this 1999 game is simply classic - the "choose-your-own-response" dialogue, deceptively tricky puzzles, lightsaber and shoot-'em-up action - I'm sure any Star Wars fan who missed it the first time around would have a ball picking it up now, especially with the marked-down price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool game!
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.
