Ok, now some people know this and
others don't. I am a big star wars fan. Not a fanatical one but a big one none the less.
So I've decided to put this game into it's good points and it's bad points.
Good: It's a star wars game.
Bad: It's a star wars game. It's no secret that star wars games are
quite awful, apart from a select few like Star wars racer, super Empire Strikes back, and
the original on spectrum and amstrad. That however is it. We've been treated to no less
that 4 main phantom menace games. Racer was really the only good one. We had the namesake
game, a roming hack and slash/shoot'em up. We had Jedi power battles which was a terrible
Golden Axe clone. And now we have this. The whole idea of this puzzle game it to direct a
number of pit droids, (The little thing that tend to the pod racers) into a trap door
using a number of arrow pads which must be placed in their path and must follow. Sounds
simple doesn't it? To be honest, it is so boring and mind numbingly frustrating when you
try to change the direction of the arrow and instead you end up placing it someplace on
the arena you which you hadn't. In fact, there are few redeaming facts about this game. It
won't tax your graphics card for a start. Maybe that's because the graphics are so bad and
there is no opening movie sequence. Very few games start with out a FMV but his game seems
to ignore that. Instead, it has Watto voice (Anakin's master at the scrap yard) over a
number of (Badly drawn) screenshots. Basically it's a very shabby and rushed game so the
nerd fans will buy it because it has the star wars name on it. That's is why I'd only
recommend this trash to some rich fools or the bin.
Note the generous mark.
