I have to be one of the only few people in the world that has played this game to death. As a result I have a Guinness World Record for fastest completion of this game.

Here’s the thing: I’ve seen this game appear in a lot of people’s ‘Worst Star Wars Games of All Time’ lists. Yes, this game is incredibly flawed; the voice acting is awful, the graphics are very basic, the controls can be hit or miss most of the time especially the camera and there’s no sense of progression. Not to mention the game has two separate plots going on, one of which it puzzlingly abandons half way through the game.

Having said all that, I really enjoy this game. For the most part, there are no game breaking bugs or glitches. The controls all work for their intended purpose, there’s a lot of combat moves not a lot of people know about and as someone who used to speedrun this game, I find the levels somewhat fun to explore and mess around in.

Personally, I’ve always found the combat somewhat satisfying. It’s not groundbreaking or revolutionary, it’s certainly no Jedi Academy when it comes to lightsaber combat, but it gets the job done. I actually think this is one of the few Star Wars games that has implemented blaster deflection really well.

For me it’s underrated and certainly not worthy of being in any top 10 worst Star Wars games lists.
