Obi-Wan

I have played the X-box, and it's great. But Obi-Wan for Xbox is just...[bad]. Lucasarts have already done 10 Episode 1 games and all of them, except racer, were failures and should been avoided.
Obi-Wan are an exact copy of Episode 1:Phantom Menace (PC,PS). What they'we done is just highened the graphic one level. You play 1 level, and you put it away. Play other games like Mario or Sonic or something, becaous those games will be listened forever as the best games ever.

If you are getting a Xbox, GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!

This game is not just another Episode One rip off!!! The story starts before the events of Ep 1, with the first mission taking place on coruscant. Obi-wan is first sent on a quest to stop a band of ruffians called the Black Heth. Heth is composed of every rowdy you've ever run into in the Star Wars universe. To be more specific, Grans, rodians, Transdoshans, and other aliens. Black Heth members will be armed with a wide array of weapons, including knives, pipes, vibroblades, and blasters. The Black Heth doesn't remain the central threat for long. Soon, Obi-Wan learns that the gang is linked to the Jin'ha, a group of nefarious weapons dealers inhabiting a mysterious swamp planet. The Jin'ha which can be discribed as "Star Wars ninjas", are formidable hand-to-hand combatants. Thay are also armed with weapons made of cortosis, a rare ore introduced in Expanded Universe sourses. Cortosis is able to resist lightsabers, allowing the Jin'ha to engage Obi-Wan in melee combat. After Obi-Wan deals with the Jin'ha, the game segues into the Episode 1-related portion of the story, including trips to Tatooine and Naboo. The Tatooine segment reveals what Obi-Wan was REALLY doing while Qui-Gon searched Mos Espa for a replacement hyperdrive. The game culminaters in missions in Theed, where Obi-Wan faces a horde of battle droids armed with blasters and other weapons. And, of course, the game concludes with the showdown between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, as seen in 'The Phantom Menace'. Aside from the standard slashing and sweeping, Obi-Wan can use the Force to enhance his attacks. These "Force swings" can disarm opponents, cut through blocks, or cause extra damage. As in the film, the lightsaber can also deflect imcoming blaster fire. While the lightsaber is Obi-Wan's primary weapon, he also has a small array of other weapons. A sniper rifle might be necessary to complete specific mission goals, and Obi-Wan also carries a sampling of powerful grenades. And, of course, the hero Padawan must sometimes use the Force.

If you liked Dark Forces you will LOVE this game! This game is one of the main reasons I am getting a Xbox.

I hope this reveiw helps you to decide to buy this game, or just a star wars game in general. Oh, and the grafics are AMASING!

I played the x box and the first game i wanted to play was obi-wan but it was the suckiest game of all time. The only thing that had changed was the graphics the game is just like jedi battles for (ps,dc).

I'm sick of seeing people diss this game because they saw one screenshot, or they think that every Ep. 1 game sucked, so this one must suck too. Throw all of your pre-conceived notions out the window. This game looks so fluid, with some truly amazing effects. With a thick storyline, in-depth missions, force powers, absolute controls, and a multiplayer battle mode this game should be one of the absolute best of the xbox releases within the first couple of months. I've heard complaints about the game being slow at E3. Well guess what? That was a long time ago, the game was probably no more than an alpha version, and the latest reviews say it's super smooth now with superb controls. If you enjoy a hack and slash game with a meaningful storyline and beautiful graphics then this is the game for you. If you have doubts check out the trailer on lucasarts.com, that movie convinced me.

okay game, but let down for the x-box.

i've playtested this game and find it rather mediocre, especially for an x-box release. As stated, in a previous review, it's just like Phantom Menace for the PC which a couple new environs. Rather tedious doing the same thing over and over.... destroy enemy (only about 4 different types and i'm halfway through the game), do some platform jumping and maneuvering, go to new area... repeat ad infinitum. Nothing new or exciting here. Just make sure you don't get killed more than 4-5 times or you'll have to start the level all over again and the levels are very large. Really annoying not to have some kind of quicksave or some continuous checkpoint feature. Some places it's wayyyy too easy to get killed if you don't do a few certain steps.. ie. jump somewhere that's difficult to see... accidentally fall off platform or something stupid. Overall, I did find the game enjoyable, but it's just like every other generic overhead platform/fighting game and it's not too different than the earlier Phantom Menace game. Don't buy into the hype. Dark Forces was revolutionary, this is just game junk food.

This looks like the best Star Wars title for a console!

This game looks awesome. The graphics that I have seen lately on this game are much better than what i saw earlier this year. The gameplay looks very fun. Who wouldn't want to play as Obi-Wan and chop up bad guys.

This game is tight!

This Star Wars game is cool and all, but the one thing about is that the story line is the same over and over again. What I mean by that is all you do in that game is.....run, jump, kill battle droid, run, jump, kill battle droid! It's the same thing over and over again. But all in all it should be a pretty good game

Force is with this game!

This game looks so sweet. I reserved it because it factors in all of the things that happens in the movie and more. This is definetely one of the XBox's best games out now!

Underwhelming

I played a demo of this a few weeks ago and found the game to be rather lame. The animation had to be the worst part. I thought it would at least be a beefed up fighting/quest game taking advantage of the xbox's power but came away from it utterly disappointed. Obi-Wan's movements are rather choppy, almost robotic and not fluid in the least bit. Like what was said earlier, not just the plot but the actual gameplay and movements are almost identical to TPM for the psx and pc, with better graphics and shading. From everyone I've talked to, Obi-Wan is shaping up nicely to be one of the worst xbox titles out there. Beware of the dark side of the force, as well as crummy games from Lucas Arts.

looks...hmmm....alright
