    Smoother, faster animation (the game runs at 60 frames per second) and awesome lighting effects dominate the game's look, while transparency filters, water effects, and background movements round out the spectacular visuals.

    The best straight-action title on the Dreamcast, and by far the most brilliant Episode I related video game ever produced.

    JPB has less extremely frustrating platform-hopping than the original, but an important part of the newest incarnation still involves pinpoint leaping that occasionally verges on maddening.

    It has its glorious moments and it has its "what the hell were they thinking" moments.

    With controls that improve on the PSX version, tight graphics, more than ten levels, and plenty of lightsaber action, Jedi Power Battles has achieved Jedi Master status.

    Despite a boastful collection of Extra characters, modes, and secrets, the biggest element of them all: a great sense of fun, is just a bit on the low side.

    Those looking for more complexity in their action games, though, will definitely want to look elsewhere.

    Prós:
    -Possui muito conteúdo, além das 10 fases da história, possui diversas fases extras e segredos para desbloquear.
    -Cada fase é única com seu diferencial, tornando-o pouco repetitivo e com um fator replay alto.
    -Os controles são suaves para época, pode ser um pouco difícil no início mas leva pouco tempo para se acostumar.
    -Ótimos gráficos.
    -O som é espetacular, trazendo diversas músicas marcantes do filme.
    -Possui uma dificuldade justa, e pode ser reduzida para jogadores mais casuais tornando o jogo bem fácil.
    Cons:
    -O jogo possui alguns bugs de colisão.
    -Alguns objetos ficam invisíveis ao se afastar e reaparecem ao se aproximar.
    -Faltou polimento em alguns elementos secundários do jogo, como falta de animação para alguns inimigos.

    Obs: Nenhum desses problemas causam algum tipo de dificuldade na gameplay, os próprios bugs de colisão são mínimos.    … Expand

    The game has great effects with smooth animation, but can get very fustrating when you're stuck as it is a hard game.

It has its pros and cons, but, none outweigh the others. Its pros are its graphics, the wide variety of characters, and the variables which concern the characters. Its cons consist of terrible mechanics, skill management, and sometimes an incredibley difficult sith warrior to defeat. Maul in this game can be the most cheat happy guy next to your friend who always keeps that invincibilty cheat kickin with a nice online game of Unreal Tourney. This game is like a "Gauntlet Legends" game with Jedi. That's one of this games greatest strengths. For instance, the Jedi and characters from Gauntlet go as follows: Qui-Gon Jinn:Wizard Plo Koon:Warrior Adi Gallia:Archer Obi-Wan Kenobi:Valkyrie Mace Windu is the most MEDIUM of the jedi. His health and force are always evened and he has no particular strength. I suggest this game to those who like "Gauntlet Legends" and the Star Wars Universe! … Expand
