In this 3D action game based on the epic Star Wars prequel, you get to jump into the story and play an active role in the liberation of the besieged planet of Naboo. The Phantom Menace closely follows the plot from the film (and will give it away if you haven't yet seen the movie) and includes all of the major conflicts, conversations, and events you saw on the big screen. In addition, the game adds a number of transitional scenes and challenges to help flesh out the plot a bit. In each major segment of the story, you will control of a different character: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, and Captain Panaka (the queen's loyal captain of the guards).The game is played from a third-person perspective, similar to Tomb Raider and Heretic II. Basic gameplay is reminiscent of these games as well, so you'll find yourself facing a number of agility and reflex puzzles as you make your way through the game. (In other words, expect to do a lot of jumping, rolling, and running.) And of course, you'll also have to fight your way past hordes of evil battle droids. The graphics are impressive, as are the sound effects, music, and voice acting. Overall, LucasArts did a fine job of re-creating the look and feel of the movie with this game. The gameplay may not appeal to every action gamer out there (this is not a Quake clone by any stretch), but it could be a blast for Star Wars fans and any player who enjoys a Tomb Raider-style gaming experience. Now if only you could turn that lightsaber on Jar-Jar Binks.... --Mike Ryan

 Just a quick caution..... December 7, 2006
I was really excited about this game; it sounded really cool.But after I had played it for 45 min.,I died(like I had so many times before), and so did the game.It caused MAJOR problems for my computer, and it took a while to fix it. Don't buy this unless you are abseloutely sure it will work.
SO much fun, besides the bugs, that you'll play it till 1 AM July 10, 2005

The graphics weren't the best, but hey, the game was LONG. My favorite levels were the last level ones w/ the Queen(when she has weapons) and w/ Obi-Wan when he tries to reach Qui-Gon and Darth Maul. One thing that I didn't like was the Otoh-Gunga(?) level where if you kill one stupid Gungan you get attacked by all of them. Also every once in a while, you run into some bugs(the computer ones)and then you have to restart your game a lot. The Darth Maul duels were pretty easy too, once you know what you're doing. For anyone stuck on any part of this game I suggest looking up game guides on the internet.
In my opinion, this game is worth the money. So quit staring at the screen and buy it already!
 It's cool November 27, 2004

I'm not really much into top of the line graphics and all that stuff. I play a game if it sounds fun. So yeah the graphics aren't the best but the games alot of fun. Several people were complaining about Tatooine levels. If you play it the way you're supposed to then yeah its sorta boring. I don't play it the way I'm supposed to when I've finished the game once. Try attacking some random people or walking throu the dung. Make it interesting do it your way, if you want to run through the streets of Tatooine and killing every person in sight and being chased by all the guards, swinging their vibroaxes at you and yelling "You're a no good killer," and stuff like at you than do so. I've always liked padme in the movies so playing her is pretty fun, yeah when you first get her she has an extremely wimpy stun blaster, but if you look behind you or go into nearby buildings, there are grenades, blasters, and proton torpedo launchers. The level on Coruscant is my least favorite in the entire game, just because running around in the depthes of Coruscaht trying to find Queen Amidala gets annoying. The only other level I don't like is the 4th level, which takes Obi-Wan trying to get Queen Amidala out of Theed, while having to get her past AAT's and bunches of droids, and if you leave her alone too long they'll say "The Queen has been killed," when she alives you get sayings such as "YOu're stepping on my dress," and "I never knew Jedi could be so rude," from her. Overall it's a really fun game just play it your way, explore, do what you please on it, (within what the game allows of course)
Thoroughly entertaining October 2, 2004

It's been awhile, but I recall first playing this game with my brother and us declaring it the most enjoyable LucasArts venture yet. Yes it has its flaws, especially now in 2004 when videogame graphics have since made stunning advancements. But this 1999 game is simply classic - the "choose-your-own-response" dialogue, deceptively tricky puzzles, lightsaber and shoot-'em-up action - I'm sure any Star Wars fan who missed it the first time around would have a ball picking it up now, especially with the marked-down price.
good game, but with some bugs November 22, 2003

This is a great game and its fun too, but the bugs get annoying. but first the good things. The graphics are fairly good, the gameplay is good, the levels ar good, the weapons are good, and i like all the Characters you are in the diffirent levels, and it challenges you. Now the bad stuff. the camera views get messed up some times, some times the the characters repeat what they just said, some times it locks up when you try to save a game, some times the sound gets messed up (and its not my sound card), and some times the characters start saying things when a. they all ready said it b. your not even close to them. But overall this is a good game, and i recommend it to any one who likes star wars or adventure/Action games.
