  1. The action is always high tense, and extremely enjoyable.

    The sense of scale is impressive. There is some draw-in but these worlds are absolutely massive and impressive.
  3. An average game, with some elements that take it to a higher level. What’s frustrating about it is there aren’t enough of these elements throughout, otherwise it would be a top-notch title.
  4. Both the solo and multiplayer options deliver the explosive goods, but for maximum entertainment value try betting with friends on the strategy-based Conquest mode. Loser has to sponge-bathe Jabba!

    The frantic pacing and tremendous atmosphere result in adrenaline rushes that'll give the most hardened shoot-'em-up veteran the shakes.
  6. A highly satisfying game. Despite being trapped in the same old LucasArts formula, the change of pace fighting in vehicles turns what could have been a ho-hum game into a thrilling homage to the film's end sequence.

    Decent, but there's better Star Wars action to be had. [Feb 2003, p.98]
  8. 76
    A solid science fiction blaster. Sure it's better on GameCube, but who cares?

    Considering it throws in everything but Aunt Beru's kitchen sink (including a fun multiplayer battle mode, gorgeous cut scenes, even a Wookie cameo), you can't help be feel plump and satisfied after digesting this Episode II offering. [15 Nov 2002, p.144]
  10. The half-hearted addition of the vehicle-less battles should have either been dropped altogether or made more integral to gameplay.
