    This game is an average 50/50 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 This game is an average 50/50 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

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

    An awesome game!! Controls take a little time to learn and some jumps frustrate you, but overall an excellent DC and PSX title.

    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

    Un juego que resultaba bastante innovador en cuanto a juegos de Star Wars se refieren, una campaña multijugador que lo volvia mucho mas divertido, los graficos eran bastante buenos para la epoca, el soundtrack muy acertado para cada escenario y un gameplay magnifico, aunque en ocasiones algo torpe con algunos enemigios, ademas de introducir a varios personajes a los que no se les dabaUn juego que resultaba bastante innovador en cuanto a juegos de Star Wars se refieren, una campaña multijugador que lo volvia mucho mas divertido, los graficos eran bastante buenos para la epoca, el soundtrack muy acertado para cada escenario y un gameplay magnifico, aunque en ocasiones algo torpe con algunos enemigios, ademas de introducir a varios personajes a los que no se les daba tanta importancia, como Plo Koon, que resulto ser uno de los mas destacados posteriormente, una joya sin duda.… Expand

    But beware, you'll need a little time to learn the controls.

    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.

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