LucasArts Archive Series: Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for Windows

Pros: The punishment was short-lived. You can't beat the picture on the box front.
Cons: Can I just put my whole review here?

Since its release directly after The Phantom Menace the FPS game by the same name seemed to be calling me. At the time I was strapped for cash and so I had to wait until the price dropped to thirty dollars before I could justify buying it. When it was...

Pros: Deflecting laser blasts is fun.
Cons: Getting sick from the camera angles...not fun.

In perhaps what will be known as the greatest build-up of hype this decade, possibly even millennium, Star Wars: Episode I finally hit theaters this summer. It showcased lots of CG sequences, and so the natural progression of media nowadays is to follow...

Pros: Follows the movie
Cons: Gets a little jerky if played with older hardware

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was a huge blockbuster in the theaters. Shortly after the release of the movie, Lucas Arts put out two games for both PCs and Console games systems. These games were Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and...

Pros: great graphics, sound effects are great, loads very quickly
Cons: no pod racing

For many years sports games made by such brands as EA Sports and Electronic Arts have been spitting out great games one after another. But this time, Lucas Arts has got them nabbed, and they can do nothing about it. After seeing this Star Wars movie, I...

Pros: star wars license, acting,
Cons: camera problems, controls

Star Wars Episode 1 has come to your PC. If you are a fan of star wars then this game is worth it but if you hate star wars you should stop reading this now. It is also a good game to get if you want a new action/adventure game.

The Phantom...

Pros: resembles the movie
Cons: difficult and boring levels, bad graphics

I received this game as a gift on Christmas. From What I had seen on the commercials it had looked alright. Since I am a big fan of Star Wars, I wanted this game badly. As soon as I got it I went right in to play it. The first board was...

Pros: Follows story line very well, good character likeness
Cons: Takes shortcuts through the story line, also some program glitches, really, really high computer requirements.

The Phantom Menace computer game is state-of-the-art entertainment. The opening sequences are exactly alike and the animation is almost exactly like the movements are in the movie. It opens out with the fight in the hallway of the battleship and the...

Pros: Story adds to the movie, top-notch music&voiceovers, incredible lightsaber action!!!
Cons: A bit blocky graphics, lots of key searches, weak AI

The Plot
---------
If you have seen the movie, you know the plot, but the game actually have more action in the scenes not shown in the movie. For example Obi Wan's perilous journey through the air ducts of Federation Droid Control ship. BTW:...

Pros: Multiple characters, follows story line, light saber!
Cons: Jedi powers not effective, visual effects lacking, 2d play

While I approached this game with a very good attitude, I was utterly disappointed. While the movie proved to be quite entertaining, the PC game fell quite short. There are several cool things about The Phantom Menace (TPM). First, you play several...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, and voice acting.
Cons: Limiting view, Poor control, Jar Jar Binks

I really want to like TPM, but I just can't seem to get into it. It is a strange game that can be extremely frustrating. The game is an action adventure game that mimics the storyline of the movie. In and of itself, this is not bad... it's just that...

Pros: Graphics and sound that are hard to beat, action, and entertaining.
Cons: Extreme hardware required, joy-stick requires new setup every time.

Lucas Arts is continuing the Star Wars game series with a pair of new games based on the Prequel, The Phantom Menace (reviewed here). The first is a 3-D shoot-em-up game called simply "The Phantom Menace" and a new type of game for the Lucas...

Pros: weapons,story
Cons: Character view, Engine, and who could forget Jar Jar

Sorry to all you Star Wars worshipers out there, but this game -close to being excellent- missed the mark.

Graphics, gameplay, moves and weapons were all somewhat acceptable, but the view in which you see your character sucks. The third...

Pros: Fun for all ages, combines stradagy and adventure
Cons: Automatic lightsabers, but that's it. Also you need a pretty updated computer to run the game.

Lucus Arts has an excellent reputation for fun games, and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom menace just further enforced their reputation. This game, not only is an excellent gamer, but you need to solve puzzles, acheive keys and other items, as well as...

Pros: Graphics and tie in with Movie
Cons: Control and gameplay

This game just does do it for me. I really wanted to like this game but was dissapointed. I love the graphics and sound but thats about it. The gameplay and control just isn't there. It an action game but never really get into that much action...

Pros: sharp graphics, lightsabers, realistic sounds, includes all important characters of the movie
Cons: buggy, and lots of running around

There are many different opinions on this game. VERY mixed reviews. I am not really a big fan of adventure games, but from the movie, and what I've seen of this game, I had to give it a try. This game kept to the movie's plot, which is what got my...
