Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles - PlayStation

The media could not be loaded.  I played this game as a young kid and it's still great. Had to use an older TV with RCA connections though. I'm not sure whether or not a modern 4k TV can play PS1 games, even with an HDMI converter/upscaler or through the green, blue, and purple component ports. It's a great game for the time period but it does have occasional glitches like randomly falling off the edge of the map for no reason and dying. Also, not being able to control the camera angle can get kind of annoying. The most frustrating thing by far about this game though is that 95% of the time what kills you is not an enemy but falling off of stuff. There are a LOT of jumping puzzles and with the not so great camera angles it can be pretty difficult and aggravating to have to keep restarting an area and fight tons of enemies again because you missed a platform, especially on the Coruscant level. But still a really fun game with several different jedi with different abilities. However, to use a jedi on a given level,byou have to play through from the beginning to that level with that particular jedi. You can't switch mid-game. Timing the light saber blaster deflection kills perfectly is really satisfying though.

Money well spent

I remember purchasing this game when it first came out and I fell in love with it. I would play for hours on end and never get tired of it. One thing I did get very tired of was the fact that this game has more glitches and problems than any other game ever made. Sometimes you will be at the end of a level and your character will just run off screen and never come back. Sometimes you will jump and somehow be sucked into the air at light speed but don't worry your confusion will be put to rest when you hear your character dying then he appears on the ground dead next to Player 2. I've also seen my character start to run but the game decided to repeat the run animation in place for a minute or so then your character just disappears and you never know what happened. If I had to pick a favorite though, it would be when you are just happily running along until your character just falls right through the floor and dies. The worst part about the glitches are they can happen ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. There is no way to tell if the game is about to glitch or if there is a certain level that glitches more than others, it's all random chance. Don't get me wrong though, this is an amazing game. I will still tell people this is the greatest Star Wars game ever made, because it is. If you do want to play it though: Player be warned. This game WILL glitch out and murder your character. This game WILL let you beat an extremely difficult boss then just decide to kill you for no reason and you will have to start the entire level over. This game WILL cause you to be come extremely angry and scream at the TV until your entire face is bright red with anger. In my opinion though, it is worth it.

The official Amazon review under the product description is clearly an opinion of someone who wasn't interested in the game from the start. Basically if you enjoy games like Maximum Carnage or Fighting Force you'll probably like this game. For me the best star wars games are KOTOR 1&2 after that itd be between this and fallen order for 3rd place provided you have a 2nd person for local coop as that makes the game so much better.

I got this for my brother's birthday because he's one of the biggest Star Wars nerds in the galaxy! Lol Come to find out, it worked on our PS2 for a couple minutes before the game shut down! Keep in mind this is a PS1 game and I was hoping my PS2 would run it well but unfortunately....that was not the case! 5 Stars for being an amazing game though!

This is a rare game for multiple reasons. Obviously, they aren't making the game any longer (it's for PS One/PSX.) But above and beyond that, it's a two player cooperative game, and it's Star Wars. Talk about a great combination! My only complaint is that the case it shipped in was cracked. This didn't affect the game's playability.

I think this was always a good game and set the ground work for Forces Unleashed. Unfortunately ever since the PS2, Playstation has never made backwards compatible friendly systems. So when I play Power Battles on my PS3 it freezes at the worst times. Right when I finish the final Boss at almost every level it froze. It did this especially if it was a long board like Coruscant. The game was in perfect like new condition, but PS3 just stinks with the old games. Not to mention I had to give away all of my old PS2 games. They became worthless the day PS3 came out. So it was a great game and in perfect shape, but ultimately PS3 stinks. The End.

Great classic games back then I found it finally it on hereThanks AmazonI can find so much on here classic games here when I was kid and still play them as adultIf I ever get married and have gamer son or daughterDefinitely play games with my childrenOf course After things are done that need to be done fristSorry kids got to doHomework, chores, clean roomWhat ever needs to be done frist before fun

This was a trip down memory lane for me.The graphics are kind of awful. The controls are fiddly. The A.I. is very easy to cheat.The music is awesome (it's directly lifted from the typically brilliant John Williams' movie score).This game is so much fun with a second player as only one player needs to stay alive while there are still continues left - the second player can respawn.I've tried playing this on my own and it was just not the same.If you're a fan of games which allow you to run around using the force and 'legging it, legging it, legging it... legging it like that' with a friend when you've got nothing important to do then this is an amusing diversion.(NB I gave this 4 stars due to my nostalgia factor - if you're a serious gamer you'd probably give this one or zero)

One of the best games on the PS1!Single or Two player co-op, challenging levels with a nostalgic feel. You can unlock new lightsaber / force moves, 5 secret characters and 4 secret missions if you search how.Great game even today, part action part problem solving and co-op story mode is always great. Extremely fun and one to play over a few times. Great Star Wars game, five star!!

Product arrived early and in perfect condition as described. 5 stars for Cash Generator shirley highly recommend!

Enjoyable

Had this game growing up but lost it when I moved out, this was a replacement copy I brought its a brilliant game.
