            Take a lousy movie and make an even worse game, what aconcept. ................
It play's like Tomb Raider with a hangover.  From sluggish control's to awkward  camera angle's we have yet another game that Lucasart's can't make work on  the Playstation.  
Atleast Nintendo get's "Shadows of the  Empire" and "Rogue Squadron".  PS get's this and  "Masters of Teras Kasi"
The only tolerable thing about this  game is the voice work and the cut-scene's, and I hope you like the  cut-scene's because you're going to have to sit through them again and  again and again.
Save your money and hope something goes right for PS2

            The worst game to come out from Lucas Arts. The grafics are bad. The game is played in a two dimentional third person point of veiw from the top. There is no looking around in this game. The enemy can see you before you  see them. If you die, you must start the level over, which can be extremly  frustrating. The force moves are limited to only a force push, no throwing  lightsabers in this game. Not a fun game to play!

            I'm an adult; My boys and I have had N64 for years and I've played Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and Zelda 64 - I enjoy the role-playing puzzle solving type games, and my boys 6 and 8 have enjoyed playing and watching me play.   We got a playstation for Christmas, with Phantom Menace Episode 1.  I find  it extremely irritating that I'm stuck watching the movie setup for the  first challenge every time I restart.  There's no mental challenge to the  game that I've seen yet (admittedly, I haven't got too far yet, but I may  not have the patience to ever get far).  I wish I hadn't broken the seal  and could return the game!

            I think this game is is the stupidest game I have played in my life! First of all, the graphics are messed up and the voice acting is terriable. Second, the game is so frustrating and not fun at all. Overall, avoid this game at all costs.

            This game is horrible first of all the play is slow. This game gets confusing after a while the levals are just too chanelging! The graphics are weak and a poor excuse for a star wars game. The voice overs are soo weak! It takes way too long to load and get thourgh a leval. This doens't even follow the movie real well it goes out of the way and follows the smallest details. This is a must not buy and a huge letdown. Star Wars derserves a better game for thier first movie a almost 20 years and especially with all the new technology around. Don't buy this game!

            This game is getting by only because of it's name.  My Sega Genesis had better graphics.  This was mud!  Action wise?  Lame.  I gave mine away within 48 hours.
        
            
don't even bother

            This was flat out one of the worst games that I have ever encountered for the Playstation. The graphics are weak and the gameplay is just plain boring. I rented this game and turned it off after about 15 minutes of  boredom.

            The game does not follow the movie whatsoever in any way. Sure powerbattles doesnt but it wasnt meant to. Dont buy the game horiblle graphics and you cant jump or do anything.{you can but, you call that a jump?} The last level is way to difficult to beat. i played for a total of 2 months on that level. im not kidding. i am however an okay gamer. i beat power battles in a month and a half.

            I waited months for this game and traded a few good ones to get it. I am really disappointed. I expected a Metal Gear Solid caliber of a game, this  game doesn't compare in any way. Bad playability, little story or dialogue,  and for most of the game you must lead other characters through the mazes  who slow you down to a frustrating pace. I really hoped I would love it.  You win some, you lose some I guess.
