Review :

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.
