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!

sick of people dissing

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.

The Best Game I have Ever Played!

I loved this game, it was the best game I ever played! You play as Obi-Wan with his lightsabre and all and a load of force powers, such as push, pull, defend jump, and so on. The handling with this game is easy and the storyline is great. So of the reveiws for this game that I have read, people give reasons, but their reasons are not that great. I mean come on people, do you expect every single game made is perfect? Give me one game that has no flaw at all, that everyone in the entire world would like! You can't! I'm not say this game is perfect, but it's most fun I have ever had on a game... any ways back to the game, It's story star before episode 1 and over laps it. Jedi battle arena is alot of fun too. And if you ever need to brush up some there is a training level.
I love this game it's the best

Obi-wan is a good game but is too hard to beat. It would be better if you could play the COMPUTER in Jedi Battle.

I dont officaly own it but I played it for about 4 hours wiht a friend....
Here are some higlights
*Takes place before Episode I to make it more intresting
*Great graphics
* Chalegeing and intresting levals
* Has the Star Wars attitude
* Obi-wan does tricks with his lightsaber something you dont se everyday!
Cons
* The game slows down after about 1 hour of gameplay (half of Xbox's fault)
* This was tittled to be the most relistic video game to the movie but Obi-Wan says suff like "Iam not sure" durin duealing itsnt that suppost to be seiad whean like trying to open a locked door?
* IF it is relestic! thean howcome the Trade Federation main base leval witch is in Episde I it takes literly about 30 min without dieing or nothing...
Other thean that this is MUST BUY!!!!!!!!

First person console games are usually not up to the standards set by avid computer gamers. Obi Wan holds its own without breaking a sweat. Excellent interface and gameplay. The only console game better than Obi Wan is Halo. Get them both and you have the best of all worlds.

Saying this I currently own and have completed these other first person adventures; Max Payne, Batman, and Halo. Only Halo is really in the same league as the other two are a bit dated and simple ports. Like Halo, Obi Wan is made specifically for the Xbox. I think in the future this factor will weigh heavily on game choice.

This game has the best sound and the best graphics of any xBox game to date. The multiplayer light sabre duels are exceptional. Let a friend play who has never seen the xBox and their jaw will drop.

Playing this game as it follows slightly before Episode I and during is actually more enjoyable than watching the real movie on video. Hook your xBox up to your stereo and you will appreciate the many layers of sound.

Only Halo is a notch better and assuming you probably already have this I would highly recommend this as your next ..
