Star Wars: Obi-Wan

Star Wars: Obi-Wan will take you back to the days when the Jedi Knights defended peace and justice across the galaxy, and when Darth Vader looked like Sam from the TV show Diff?rent Strokes.

Originally slated for release on the PC, Star Wars: Obi-Wan is heading to the Xbox instead. In this third-person adventure, you?ll take the role of the Padawan apprentice, with Qui-Gon Jinn guiding you through missions that range from locating missing Jedi in the marshes of Jin?Ha to protecting Naboo pilots from Trade Federation droids. You?ll also hone your Force powers by sparring against Ki-Adi-Mindi, Plo Koon, and other Jedi masters in lightsaber arenas. The game?s 19 levels will take you to Tusken Raider outposts on Tatooine, the teeming underbelly of Coruscant, and other wretched hives of scum and villainy, before culminating in a fierce duel with Darth Maul at the Theed power core.

Graphically, the preview build was a mixed bag. Reflections of real-time light sources off polished surfaces and water were beautifully rendered, though overall the models were blocky and lacked detail. While the controls enabled a wide array of acrobatics and force abilities, so far, they were clumsy and inaccurate. Hopefully, LucasArts can clean up these problems before the game?s release.
