Star Wars: Episode I Jedi Power Battles User Reviews (PSX)

Nikolai Diavolo's Review
Apr 19, 2006

THE GOOD:
- Five of the best Jedi Knights from "Episode I" complete with frantic combination moves and Force powers.
- Three bonus characters including two non-Jedi and everyone's favourite Sith Lord, Darth Maul.
- Ten amazing levels filled with tons of vicious enemies, huge leaps, platform puzzles, a few vehicle sections and impressive boss battles.
- Great graphics, music taken from John Williams' film score and all the sound effects: top marks on presentation.
- Two-player co-operative mode is a brilliant arcade-style thrill as two Jedi fight alongside each other.
- Hidden bonus levels provide amusing distractions from the main thrust of the storyline levels and make for a nice reward at the end.

THE BAD:
- Jumping sections can be tricky to judge, leading to frustration on your third or fourth attempt.
- No two-player deathmatches, although the co-operative is so strong this really isn't a problem and...

THE GOOD:
Non stop action and using the force to guide you through the toughest times. Having the energy to move forward through difficult tasks and to complete complicated levels. The music matches the theme and the special graphics and effects make it look to engrossing at times.

THE BAD:
At the very end of the final battle, I may had a glitch on my game, when Ben was trying to get through the moving energy rooms that show a bright red layer of a shield of some type. I couldn't find a way through until I had to keep forcing the character to run through the wall and eventually he got in. There seem like no other way.

When you went to Tatoonie? to free Anakin SkyWalker, destroying the monster in the cage was not an easy task because of the time involved. If you kill too many of the wrong people, the game is over.

SUMMARY:
This game is full of non-stop action and based on the movie. If you had not...

THE GOOD:
The sound, the relation to the star wars episode I film and the length of the game. Also the unlockable characters and extra levels are something to play for.

THE BAD:
The graphics could have been better and the game play really sucks.

SUMMARY:
at first it was hard because of the difficulty getting used to the controls.
then i whizzed through the game and completed it easily.
ths game is a good buy and great for starwars fanatics like myself!
heres what i gave it

GRAPHICS: 3.0 : Could have been alot better.
SOUND: 5.0 : Original star wars theme tunes.
GAMEPLAY: 4.0 : Decent but could have been a bit better and easier to control.
LIFE SPAN: 5.0 : Bloody tricky. Bloody addictive. Enough said.

OVERALL VEIW: Brilliant game but requires some small improvements.

THE GOOD:
Five different Jedi, secret characters, great level design, multiplayer and wonderful gameplay.

THE BAD:
Easy Mode just like Jedi Mode and a near-impossible duel with Darth Maul.

SUMMARY:
Choosing from either Plo Koon, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi or Adi Gallia, you start this game with a great level, filled with killer Battle Droids, Droideka's and annoying little 3PO units which are fun to kill.

Throughout the game, you are rewarded with new Force powers, lightsaber combo's and heath upgrades, but this does not make your task easier: the levels get increasingly tougher, with Naboo giving way to Tatooine, Courscant and then back to Naboo again. It's no use: the amount of new skills you pick up cannot make the game easier. This can be either challenging or annoying.

The multiplayer aspect, letting you play the whole game with a friend, alleviates some of this pressure,...

THE GOOD:
The gameplay

THE BAD:
Too much jumping

SUMMARY:
This was one of my favorite games for the PSX despite its difficulty. I still like the Dreamcast version better simply because the easy mode is easy, but the Jedi Mode is still hard. I didn't enjoy the fact that you have to jump a lot in the game, and I hated it when someone shoot the character while I was jumping.

Bottom Line

This game is okay, but could have been better.

THE GOOD:
Different characters, 2 player co-op mode, secret levels and characters, detailed levels. Beatable with no enhancements.

THE BAD:
Very few areas where the game can be saved.

SUMMARY:
Who the heck rated this game poorly? You say you can't beat the game with Plo Koon, I've done it. You'd better do it soon though, he dies in Episode 2.
Though some of the enemies aren't straight from the movies, they very well could be. Terriffic in keeping with the theme.

THE GOOD:
You get to unlock new characters and new levels.

THE BAD:
could be a little better graphics

SUMMARY:
This game has great sound effects, music, game play, and secrets to unlock. the levels arent hard or easy. they are just right. the levels are hard the first time you play the level, but it gets easier to beat the level once you get the hang of it.
