![]() Things go badly aboard the ship (if you're the kind of person who considers a big cloud of poison gas bad), and you're forced to fight your way out of the battle ship, onto a troop transport and down to the surface of Naboo. ![]() ![]() You'll start your adventures just as the movie started: in a conference room aboard a Trade Federation battle ship awaiting the arrival of the Neimoidian ambassador. The movie's plot is reprised over twelve different levels, though the action of the movie has been extended with additional NPCs, more places to explore and much more combat. There are even a few heavy weapon emplacements that you can jump behind to take out wave after wave of battle droids. Of course, the primary weapon of the Jedi is the lightsaber, but there is also a hefty compliment of other armaments (like blasters, missile launchers, thermal detonators and Gungan energy balls) that you'll come across as you explore each location. While most of the game puts you in the robes of the two main Jedis, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, you'll also get to play as Captain Panaka, leader of the Queen's guard, and even Queen Amidala herself later in the game. In the game you play as four of the different lead characters. It's actually pretty neat to think of the game as the scenes between the action that you saw onscreen. The cutscenes use dialogue from the movie and the action/adventure sequences you play are a mix of scenes from the movie and the parts that might have happened in between. The game follows the plot of the movie very closely, almost scene by scene, as the idea behind the game is to allow you to re-experience The Phantom Menace entirely in game form. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a third person over-the-shoulder adventure game that puts you in control of the good guys from Lucas' latest in the Star Wars franchise. Now that my ass is covered by that disclaimer, I guess it's safe to continue. If you are adamant about not knowing anything at all about The Phantom Menace before you see it in the theater, we recommend you don't read this review until you've seen the movie. Caution : Spoilers ahead! This review contains information about the characters and locations in the movie, as well as a good bit of the plot.
