Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace

[Adventure Game]

(LucasArts, 1999)

Star Wars games by LucasArts are often hit and miss; very very good, or pretty bad. Whether you feel this game was the former or the latter, it was hardly the fault of LucasArts' game design team. After all, this game is based so closely to the movie, the true question here is whether you liked the movie or not. If Jar-Jar Binks was intolerable to you, then you're bound to despise a whole game level devoted to finding him (no, you can't just lose him for good). One other flaw is not being able to play as Darth Maul, which, cruel as it may sound, would be a way-cool game option (double edged light saber!). However, you do get to play alternate levels as Amidala, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and even Captain Panaka. Given this diversity in gameplay, as well as an admirable level of challenge, I personally liked this game much more than I hated it; a marginal thumbs up...
