Graphics
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.
