Summary I think both old school gamers and starwars fan will enjoy this game, i love it!I found that quite a few game review sites tore this game apart, no one gave it a decent rating it seemed, I expected it to be another starwars game flop, but man, it really surprised me. This is what I liked about the game. Can play with friends, the regular game and the battle mode, you also earn new battle mode characters are you progress in the game. It has a difficulty setting. You can replay levels you complete. You earn combo moves. You can build experiance with each of the different characters in the game. Each character has different force powers, and speed/strength attributes. Most of the game is left to right arcade fighting, but you can still move freely around the levels. You get to drive a tank with three different types of weapons. and on and on, like I said, I love this game! The only downside to this game is that there is the occasional glitch, jumping down is hard when you cant se where to jump, some force powers are useless, and Darth Maul is very hard to beat at the end of the game. Sound Sound is awsome, starwars ep. 1 music right at the beggining, your pumped even before you start the game. Music is fast and gives a sence of urgency to get where your going fast.You have to love the light saber sound, especially when you deflect a laser back at an enemy. The only sound that might annoy you after a while is the powerup Yoda sound, but, other than that, the game has some of the best sounds Ive heard in a Dreamcast game. Gameplay Easy game to play, you have great fun deflecting lasers back at driods and experimenting with the different combos. You can double jump which is nice when your about to fall off a cliff. There is also a training mode if you find the game hard to grasp at first.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

It's al too complicated and Jedi power battles are missing the right tempo and action to ever be an arcade game.Then many of you think: oh, so this is more rpg like. NO!!! It's something in between arcade and simulation. (or RPG) And thats whats make the game dull. Yes sir, dull is the word. Although it's quite a blast in 2 player mode. You should only buy this game if your looking for some 2 player action. Because thats what I did, and im satisfied. Sound Sound is, as always in star wars games, perfect. Music is absolutley the best, I cant really say more than that.I recomend that you buy it only if it's cheap and you have a fighting crazy friend. Gameplay The gameplay makes the game, and here it's not that great. Imagine Fighting force in very slow tempo. But not the cool slow-motion tempo, just too slow. If you try to run up to a battle droid and smash him with your light saber, your dead before you got there. Because the droid fires very fast and you can only block the shoot while you are standing still. Thats the biggest problem in Jedi power battles. You must use the "go a little bit forward then play coward with saber blocking. DULL!Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary Wonderful job, LucasArts, you put together a wonderful game that i loved and hated at the same time. Congratulations on a job well done.Sound The sound is great. John Williams' orchestrial style goes hand in hand with the perfect lightsaber-slashing sounds.Very Nice. Gameplay A very fun game to play (especially the tank in level 3, very clever) although Coruscant was rather long and boring.The bosses were fun to destroy. The fact that you train each Jedi with the points you earn, getting level-ups and learrning new moves and force techniqes give it an RPG feel, but the fact that you have to deflect blaster fire and cleve droids makes it an action game. With a choice of 5 Jedi (Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Adi Gallia, and Plo Koon) and needing to train all of them give Power Battles a high replay value. Would you like to Comment?
