 OBI Wan is similar to Jedi the power battles on Dreamcast, the 
          graphics are
 of course absolutely flawless. I have not seen an Xbox title yet that 
          didn't
 have stunning graphics, although I have heard rumors there are a 1 or 
          2.
 
 Force Powers
 The force power stuff is awesome you charge your force power up with 
          the
 left trigger and you can use it to do a super jump by pressing the 
          jump
 button, you can do a super attack by pressing the attack button and 
          you can
 do that really cool hurling shit away with a wave of your hand trick 
          by
 pressing the special button.
 
 Control
 The controls for moving around are very intuitive, standard left, 
          right,
 jump, ect... although when you first start the game you may have your 
          ass
 handed to you if you don't learn the other controls real quick. You 
          have to
 use the digital pad and push up to get your light saber to come on and 
          then
 you use the right analog stick to control your saber. That works out 
          really
 well as you can do many different kind of strikes with different swing
 directions.
 
 If you are looking for a straight out hack and slash game, then you 
          may not
 have total patients for this game at times, I forgot to look to see If 
          there
 was a training mode or not but at times the game can seem like a 
          puzzle game
 but only because you don't know what the fuck to do.
 
 Example: In the first round the whole level is basically kill bad guys 
          with
 your big light saber. till you get to this train, then you try to move 
          the
 big chunk of metal that is blocking the way but it wont move far 
          enough. I
 finally figured out by accident that I could throw shit with my force 
          power
 and the special button. On the second level you have to keep someone 
          from
 raising the alarm, at first I thought you were supposed to try and be 
          sneaky
 like a Jedi Tenchu, however that was not the solution, they will 
          always see
 you. what I figured out with a bit of frustration is kill the protocol 
          droid
 (the one that looks like C3PO) before it hits an alarm switch. Then 
          you can
 kill bad guys in a reckless fashion. The third example may just be my 
          own
 stupidity, but I missed a switch that you have to push to move this 
          conveyor
 belt that moves a load of stuff so you can jump down to the next 
          level.
 
 The music is subtle when you are just running around looking for where 
          to go
 next, but when you meet up with some enemies it goes into the cool 
          adventure
 music of the movies.
 
 I'd have to say that this game is fun and I would recommend it for 
          anyone
 who likes a good 3rd person perspective hack & slash with a few cool 
          moves
 and combos type of game with a little strategy mixed in, if you'd 
          rather not
 have the puzzle type issues, then I'd say download a strategy guide 
          off the
 net to enjoy the whole thing as a hack n slash.
 
 I got this title for $30 at a used game store, and I feel like it was 
          worth
 the money. However If I had paid $50 for it new. I think I'd be less
 pleased, so I'm going to say don't pay to much for it and you'll enjoy 
          the
 hell out of it. If you want game of the year? Then go buy Halo 
          instead.
