Product Description
LIVE the SAGA in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for PlayStation. You will participate in the dramatic events from the Star Wars Episode I tale–and beyond. The action in The Phantom Menace will pick up where the movie starts–as two heroic Jedi Knights dock on the Trade Federation Battleship above the planet Naboo. The journey takes you to such locations as Naboo, Tatooine, and all the way to the Galactic capital world of Coruscant as you confront imposing threats to freedom in the midst of a galaxy in crisis.Editorial Review
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, reduction 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 take upon yourself 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 right-to-the-movie tale line make this game a treat for any Star Wars fan. The graphics could be sharper, but the by and large 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 weird to see a Jedi use a rocket launcher. I was also hoping that lightsabers would cut owing to 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 unadorned 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
  • Splendid music video of “Duel of the Fates” included

Cons:

  • Graphics could be better
  • Voice-overs are rather weak
