Description

Star Wars: Obi-Wan is Lucasart's second XBox game. It is a third person adventure game, in which you play as Obi-Wan, Jedi apprentice.

As Obi-Wan, you investigate an underworld crime ring weeks prior to the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo. You will go through many areas, some familiar from the movie series. You will travel to Coruscant, Cloud 9, and other locales, where you will fight Battle Droids, Tusken War Chief's, thugs, and eventually Darth Maul.

As Obi-Wan, you use your Lightsaber to attack, which has multiple methods of attack depending on how you use it. You also have access to Force Powers, which will give you an advantage. You can Force Push an enemy, Force Grab their weapon, pick up an object and throw it at them, or Force Jump to high places.

You can play through the single player mode or multiplayer, or go to the Jedi Arena where you can battle people like Mace Windu and Yoda.

Trivia

Obi-Wan was originally slated for an early 2000 release, following in the wake of Episode 1's theatrical release. At the time the game was originally a PC-only title with possible console ports on the horizon, with lots of previews and cover features on several PC gaming magazines still around. Funny how things turn out in the end, huh?
