It also has some glaring problems, such as an awkward camera angle that is positioned far too high above your character and some lazy voice-acting.īut The Phantom Menace also has a lot of merit. It has not held up as well as other Star Wars games from that era, such as Episode I: Racer and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
Look, I’m not trying to suggest that the Episode I game is some massive hidden gem. If you played the 3D LucasArts adventure games from this era, Grim Fandango or Escape from Monkey Island, this sequence will feel familiar. As Qui-Gon, you explore the city and talk to its denizens as you search for a way to fix your ship. Here, the experience plays a bit more like an old-school LucasArts adventure game.
But what really stands out is the Tatooine section. You have a mix of melee and ranged combat along with some puzzles. You can best describe Episode I as a third-person action-adventure game. The Jedi focused on their Force abilities and lightsaber combat, while Amidala and Panaka’s sequences had more of a third-person shooter vibe. You also got to play as several characters: the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jin, along with Queen Amidala and even her bodyguard Captain Panaka.
