    The controls & camera are clunky & awkward to use everywhere. The graphics are good. The Arena & it's options (awesome choices & maps) and being able to play lightsaber only are why I bought it for my grandson (nearly 6) - he had seen & played an Xbox version of Obi Wan at a store which he loved but he only has a Game Cube. This satisfies his desire to be a Jedi with a lightsaber. He The controls & camera are clunky & awkward to use everywhere. The graphics are good.

    Ups: Force Powers (especially Grip...hehe) and the lightsaber Downs: HORRIBLE cut-scenes, annoying voice acting, lousy ending, mediocre graphics. My biggest disappointment was the lack of Star Wars wildlife... all they had was a chicken-bug.

    The only good part about this game was the multiplayer. It was amusing to be a stormtrooper or an overweight rebel captain running around with a lightsaber and force powers. But one player STUNK! The camera cortrol was horrible and the story was boring. You could die too easily also. It was also too dark and i couldn't adjust the brightness.

Way better!… Expand

    A step down from the PC's version, due to the fact that you just can't scroll through the Force Powers fast enough. [Jan 2003, p.101]
