Personally I'm a big fan of the Star Wars movies and games. This game puts you in the shoes of Obi-wan, in his younger years. You get to do a variety of missions that take you through most parts of the The Phantom Menace. Coruscant, Naboo, and more. You have jedi abilities, that include disarm (using the force you grab the enemies gun), force jump (using the force you jump really high), force push (using the force you can push enemies into walls, etc) and force 2( using the force you can pick up items and throw them) The story follows the movie fairly well, with extras. There are a few features in this game that are not really jedi type things, but are still fun to use. For example you get to operate trade federation turrets, use sniper rifles, and throw grenades. The graphics are somewhat lacking but the fun gameplay makeups for that. This game has enough playing time to keep you playing for a few hours, once you beat the game there are a few things to unlock that reallyaren't that cool, but they add to the final game I suppose. If your a Star Wars fan this one is pretty cool and isn't a bad buy. But if you're not really into the star wars thing you may not find it to beas good. Once you beat it the game pretty much loses it's appeal. At least it's apltinum hit and youcan buy it for pretty cheap.
