    What a piece of crap! the framerate/ choppy character movements make this a lackluster fps. the slowdown when confronted with large environments is worse than ea's bond games on the 64. the voice audio is choppy and broken as well. i get to wonder if my machine is broken when playing games like this. save your cash for something id puts out. but if you are a star wars fan, you shouldWhat a piece of crap! the framerate/ choppy character movements make this a lackluster fps. the slowdown when confronted with large environments is worse than ea's bond games on the 64. the voice audio is choppy and broken as well. i get to wonder if my machine is broken when playing games like this. save your cash for something id puts out. but if you are a star wars fan, you should get it (but star wars fans will buy anything star wars anyways, so that doesn't say much). … Expand

    Pretty nice to have a decent star wars game but nearly impossible without a stratedy guide. you'll be running in circles for hours.

    Just think of the pc version but with dark graphics. The graphics just are darker even though in every other way this is just a pc version. Its obvious no time was spent to port it properly on xbox. Even the in game video looks dull and this game is not worth it. Your eyes are not pleased with dull color, it needs rich color.

    Controlling Kyle in the lightsaber mode (which is in the third-person, not first like the rest of the game) is somewhat of a pain with the clunky Xbox pad. [Winter 2002, p.106]

    My only gripe is the less-than-perfect lightsaber controls. [Feb 2003, p.72]

    An entertaining package when it gets things right, but it's also riddled with design flaws, technical flaws and various minor irritations that conspire to detract from your overall enjoyment.
