Not perfect, but definitely not a coaster

This is a game that has it's pros and cons. On the plus side, it's Star Wars. That by itself lets the game stand up and be noticed. And there's definitely something to be said for running around with a lightsaber hacking and slashing at anything that moves. You even get points for destroying computers and protocol droids! I must say that the graphics were a little on the down-side. I've come to expect that sort of thing from the LucasArts/PSX combo. Perhaps I'm also jaded by my Dreamcast. The control also takes a little getting used to. It took me a while to figure out how to effectively use the Force powers right in the middle of ten battle droids, all shooting at you. Once you figure everything out, though, the game becomes much more enjoyable. It's no Syphon-Filter, but any Star Wars fan (like myself) will defintely want to add this one to their collection. All-around, a good buy.

A Very Good Game

This game (especially for a Star Wars Fan)is a good game. Sure The graphics arent the geatest but all around its very fun. This game,like most, has its ups and downs. One of Its ups is definetely the Combat. Its not too hard but not too easy. Another up is the Multiplayer mode. Its one of the best multi player modes ive ever seen. And here are the ever-present downs of the game. The Lock-on mode is a good idea but it should be automatic, not manual. Another is that some of the jumps in the game are VERY VERY hard and VERY VERY frustrating. It also takes a lot of time and patience to master the controls. Overall i'd say this a must get, especially for Star Wars fans.

The best star wars game to date!

By far, this has been the best Star Wars adaptation to a video game yet (With Masters of Tera-Kasai a close second). Each character has great lightsaber attacks and pretty cool force powers as well. The only way this game could get any cooler is if they make a sequel to it with the original Star Wars characters. The bottom line: any game that lets you unlock and then play as Darth Maul is freakin' awesome!

simply awesome

The graphics are top-notch, the fighting is incredible, and this is one of the best games I have ever played, on any system. It may be the best game, with the possible exception of Phantom Menace, ever to come from LucasArts. If you like Star Wars, this will not disappoint you.

Not All It Is Cracked Up To Be

This Game I would have to say is okay. I rented this game and I expected better. This game is for someone who wants a real challenge and truly be a jedi. I myself like a little more variety. If you like a game that follows the movie Star Wars Episode I then I would not waste my time on this game although it has cool graphics.

A step up from TPM, but not much.

I couldnt wait for JPB. And I wasnt disapointed with it. I love playing as other Jedi and having a more complex lightsaber system than in TPM (swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, etc,etc,etc). I loved the smarter and greatly varied driods. I love the that you get to fly a STAP and drive a ATT. I love that it is more difficult than TPM. But you really cant compare this game with TPM. They are way too different. But they have the same academic problems. Such as camera angle. The side view is frustrating at times, there are a lot of "leaps of faith" because of it (especially in the swamps of Naboo). I also think there should have been SAVE points throughout the levels instead of checkpoints. No, not the "save anywhere" feature of TPM, something like in Tomb Raider. Extra Lives are too scarce and levels are too difficult when you first play to just have checkpoints. I hate when I get to the boss of a level and get game over. That is really irratating and often cuases me to turn of the machine and play something else. All in all, this is a good title which should be RENTED first, (as should all games) before you buy it. It is certainly not a game for everyone, but if it is your kind of game, I'm sure you'll like it.

Great PS1 game

In the opinion of this 43 year old, this is the only Play Station game worth playing. It's fun and very challenging, but if you play it with your children, you'll have a lot of fun.

It's the only PS1 game I've played that was fun for me!

Oh what an awesome game...which was sadly overlooked.

Oh yeah, Jedi Power Battles. It's a shame they didn't continue this series. The combo systems were amazing and the ultimate saber does what all light sabers would do "in real life" namely drop fools with one swipe. None of this hit-em-4-times-before-they-drop crap. Admittedly the two player mode gets tough when you've got to jump on a billion different moving platforms but it still doesn't take away from the overall awesomeness of this extremely fun but sadly overlooked action game.

it`s pretty good, but not the best.

I`m a huge starwars fan, and hardcore gamer, I have a, N64, Gameboycolor, Nintendo DS, and a PSone, I own all the starwars games for the N64, this one was not quite ranking with the others, but it is a good game, it may start out boring, but it gets better, on one level ou can control

an AAT, on onother a STAP, the game has five characters, and 3 unlockable ones, the game has 10 levels, (I`m still on the fifth one, tattoine) rebel assault II is a better game.

PROS
the game is challenging
you can control vehicles,
5 characters
10 levels
and has good graphics.

CON`s
2nd level boss is very hard,
game starts out easy, but gets harder
not many vehicles to control
force runs out fast
health also runs out fast
unstable controls

but overall I would probably rent it a couple of times, then maybe buy it. hope this helps.
