Description

Star Wars: Obi-Wan is a third person action game in which players take the role of Obi-Wan, a Jedi apprentice.

As Obi-Wan, players investigate an underworld crime ring weeks prior to the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo. The player will travel through a number of areas, such as Coruscant, Naboo and Tatooine, many of which are familiar from the movie series, while fighting Battle Droids, Tusken raiders, thugs, and many other enemies.

Obi-Wan's lightsaber is the player's primary weapon, which has multiple methods of attack depending on how it's used. Players also have access to Force Powers, which provide an advantage over their less talented foes. The player can force push an enemy, force grab their weapon, pick up an object and throw it at them, or force jump to high places.

The game has both a single player mode and a multiplayer mode called Jedi Arena, where players can battle with Jedi masters such as Mace Windu.
