Obi-Wan

IMHO, Obi Wan gets a bad rap, especially since it can be found for relatively low prices these days. It's not a great game, but I thought it was fun enough (and I really didn't even like TPM all that much). The lightsaber control is great, and there's some fun gameplay in there. The biggest problem, IMHO, was that it was a re-tooling of a re-tooling of a Dark Forces sequel that was supposed to have been released a year or two before they finally put Obi Wan out, and so the game design was rather dated by the time it was released.

That said, it's at least worth a rental, and if you can find a copy for 10-15 bucks (perhaps buy a used copy) go for it.

 

I have the game, and it's all right. Yes, it's easy, but the controls are really easy. You just have to move the analog stick to move the lightsaber. You could probably rent it and beat it in like a day, but since it's cheap, you could probably buy it.

 

What I've just been wondering about the Obi-Wan game for the longest time is the reason why Matt Levin is listed as Anakin in the voice credits. As far as I know Anakin doesn't even say a word. That and the fact that Matt Levin is one of the voice actors for the AotC Anakin. Must be some kind of an error.

 

Hmm...Maybe I'll get it after all. I feel like a Star Wars adventure that has more freedom of movement than KotOR.

 

I got the game and the graphics are...kind of a disgrace to the Xbox, I think.

Not only that, but Obi-Wan's voice is making me want to throw up. I literally cring every time he talks--especially when he says "I'm not sure." *grimace*


Other than all that, I think it's fun.

 

Are you kidding. JA is almost 100% sabre action.

See dont it suck. The controls are alright but it definately is to short and lame.

Seriously, what the hell were they thinking when they did Obi-Wan's voice? Did the guy have some sort of throat virus? Ewan does NOT sound like this.

 

It's a tired stereotype. What did you expect?

Lukes_Lightsaber,you should be banned.You are a smart guy,yeah!OBi is good enough but Jedi Academy is cool!

 

Jedi Outcast for X-BOX is not good, you can't even shut your lightsaber when not in use.

 

I just beat Obi Wan. There's a little extra joke at the end.

 

There is? I did'nt watch the credits. I merely turned it off and locked it in a cupboard.

Are you talking about Obi-wan's rant about Choosing/not choosing?

Another funny thing is constantly go up and talk to people. (whatever button is interact) They say some silly things...and there's more examples of bad voice acting.

I killed Maul once and he didn't fall down the shaft. There was no cutscene or anything. He was just there on the ground when Obi-wan walked out.

 

This game is worth the 10 bucks. I picked it up used, but the disk won't let me get to the last 2 levels.

 

Only on da box right?

 

What?

 

Yes. It's only on X-Box.

 

I didn't mind Obi-Wan, I've seen worse and I've seen better.
Personally I liked JO & JA better but Obi-Wan did have some cool controls that could make a comeback in a more expansive game someday & I'd appreciate that.

And I liked [a few parts] in the TPM PS game - but only in Mos Espa where you'd bump into that guy who'd yell "Stop pushing me!". Good times.

 

He said "It's only on the box, right?", meaning X-Box. You said "Huh?". I said "Yes. It's only on X-Box." Get it?

 

The lightsaber controls are the best part about the game.I really did like it but I think that is because it was one of the first, if not the first, SW games on x-box.

 

Yes, I was dohing! myself.

 

All I remember about that game is they came up with some stupid excuse so that lightsabre took 10 hits to kill anything, and you spared with the JC so I could finally put the names and faces together.

 

Yea, I don't think that 10 hit per kill thing is true.
