Jedi Power Battles

Battle the forces of the Dark Side in this action game designed for Dreamcast jedis.

Jedi Power Battles has slashed its way from the PlayStation to the Dreamcast-its Force flowing with tweaks and improvements. But be warned: A more accurate title for this game might be, "Jedi Jumping Battles." JPB has less extremely frustrating platform-hopping than the original, but an important part of the newest incarnation still involves pinpoint leaping that occasionally verges on maddening. However, if you have a high tolerance for falling repeatedly to your virtual death, JPB will reward you with spectacular visuals and hours of Star Wars fun.

Graphics:
A visual masterpiece, featuring nicely rendered cut-scenes and characters that are larger than their PlayStation counterparts

Sound:
Satisfying explosions, lightsaber swooshes, and that classic Star Wars score keep up with the visuals

Control:
Some spectacular special moves are hampered by extremely demanding pinpoint jumps

Fun Factor:
There's really no reason not to go out and purchase Jedi Power Battles right now-unless your lack of patience with platform-hopping will lead to anger, and anger leads to...you know the rest.
