A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away.........

I must admit I was a bit sceptical about this game as I feel Lucas Arts have milked the market so much but then when I see it was developed by Raven House who did 'Soldier of Fortune ' then I knew it couldn't be to bad.

The Graphics are fantastic and pushed to new levels. In several levels if you suffer from acrophobia then you find the game intimidating. Lip sync is the best I?ve seen in a PC Game with the cuts scenes being awesome.

The lightsaber duels are out of this world whilst you flip and turn through the air. On the whole the rest of the weapons are standard, although killing storm troopers is an amazing buzz using any weapon. They can be hard to kill when you get a few at a time attacking you and your health just drops. Also with time you get to use the force to grip and push stormtroopers.

There are four levels with Jedi Master being the most difficult but I would stick to Jedi to start with, which is the normal difficulty level.

Many missions require jumping and puzzle solving and once you meet up with Luke you get minimum powers. This improves as you complete the levels.

There is also as well as single player option a multi player option and if you like lightsaber duels with your mate then this is the one for you.

A great game that has given me many hours of entertainment. Can?t wait for the expansion packs. My favourite game of the year.
