Video Game Reviews of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Customer Review: Gameplay is the key.
Summary: 4 Stars

I first played this when i was 12 and absolutely loved it. i dont have a playstation anymore but im ordering it to play on my ps2. Yes, the graphics are terrible, the sound isnt good, but the actual gameplay itself is so much fun. this game has a free roaming feel to it, because you can do whatever you want. lots of random glitches happen but if you save your game every once in a while then its no big. Also, a lot of the one star reviews kept saying that when you die in a level you have to start all the way over...this is the case but what they didnt say is that you can save your game at any time down to the second. you have a huge jump to cross a gap? just save it, and if you dont make it, load your game and you'll end up right where you were. not great, but overall a fun game. the gameplay is what got this one 4 stars.

Description of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

As the room fills with poison gas, you and Qui-Gon race down the hall and stop in front of five Trade Federation droids. Your lightsaber hums to life as you and your master block and reflect the hail of blaster bolts, leaving the offending droids in pieces. As your enemies grow to seemingly hopeless numbers, you extend your hand in a Jedi force push. Again all that is left are fried circuits. Leaping over chasms, destroying droid armies, saving entire planets is all in a day's work when you are a Jedi. And we all want to be Jedi... right?

In Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, you assume the roles of Obi Wan, Qui-Gon, Queen Amidala, and Captain Panaka as they struggle to save Naboo and defeat the Trade Federation's sinister agents. Exciting battles, terrific sound effects, and a true-to-the-movie story line make this game a treat for any Star Wars fan. The graphics could be sharper, but the overall Star Wars experience is not diminished by this fact. Instead, the gameplay itself takes you away from an immersive Star Wars feel: it's just strange to see a Jedi use a rocket launcher. I was also hoping that lightsabers would cut through just about anything, but sadly this is not the case--some robots even need to be hit multiple times before they go down. And it's just sad to see a Jedi's progress in an outdoor level blocked by simple shrubbery. Still, like the movie itself, Star Wars: Episode One, The Phantom Menace overcomes its minor flaws to deliver a thrilling experience. --Allen Stewart

Pros:

  • You get to use a lightsaber
  • Dual shock controllers vibrate with the saber's movement
  • Great music video of "Duel of the Fates" included
Cons:
  • Graphics could be better
  • Voice-overs are rather weak
