Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles is the name of two video games released in 2000 for the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation. The Game Boy Advance version was developed by Pocket Studios and published by THQ, while the PlayStation version was developed by Crawfish Interactive and published by LucasArts. Both versions are a beat-em-up game based on the Star Wars prequel trilogy, with players taking control of either Obi-Wan Kenobi or Qui-Gon Jinn as they battle their way through fourteen stages against numerous enemies from the films.
The game features a variety of levels set across several planets from the movies, including Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant and Geonosis. As players progress through each level they face increasingly powerful enemies, such as droidekas, destroyer droids and battle droids. Players can also use Force powers to defeat their foes, such as Force lightning or Force push. During each stage there are various objectives to complete before progressing to the next one; these range from rescuing hostages to destroying power generators.
The Game Boy Advance version features two player co-op play over link cable (with a friend playing as Qui-Gon Jinn), although this feature is not available in the PlayStation version. Both versions also feature mini games where players can collect power ups which are used to upgrade their character’s abilities.
The graphics in both versions of Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles are quite basic but still capture some of the atmosphere of the films. The music is also quite good; it captures the mood of each stage without being too repetitive or intrusive. The controls are also solid; they’re easy to learn but still provide enough challenge for experienced gamers.
Overall, Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles is an enjoyable beat-em-up game that should appeal to fans of both Star Wars and beat-em-ups alike. It’s not particularly deep or challenging but it does provide some decent entertainment value and is worth checking out if you’re looking for a fun action game for your Game Boy Advance or PlayStation console.
