lay as the iconic
Obi-Wan Kenobi in this
action adventure
game. Set weeks
before the beginning
of The Phantom Menace, Kenobi
attempts to prove himself worthy of
becoming a Jedi Knight and is sent on
a mission to investigate the rise of a
threat in the lower levels of Coruscant.
No stranger to wretched hives of
scum and villainy, you go through
a series of missions brushing
shoulders with the lowest of the low,
that merge with some of the events
from the movie, with the final mission
being Obi-Wan’s confrontation with
Darth Maul.
This was the first of a series of
exclusive Star Wars titles on Xbox, but
it’s sadly not one of the best games
out there. Star Wars: Obi-Wan is,
however, notable for its really
ingenious, dynamic lightsaber combat,
which is controlled using the right
analogue stick – the lightsaber’s
movements would mimic the direction
you push the stick.
A limited multiplayer mode called
Jedi Battle featured,
in which two players
would select one
character from a
roster of unlockable
heroes and then do
battle within a
small arena. Q
BELOW Obsidian expanded the combat
system to give you a variety of
lightsaber fighting styles.
Following up on one of the
best RPGs of all time would
be daunting for most
developers, but Obsidian
took it in its stride and delivered a fitting
sequel to Bioware’s classic.
The story continues five years after
the events of the Light side story of
KOTOR. The Jedi have been hunted by the
Sith to the point of near-extinction and
it’s up to you, an exiled Jedi and the only
hope, to find the survivors and make a
stand. Once again, you’re given the
choice of Light and Dark paths, and it’s
possible to kill the remaining Jedi as
revenge for exiling you. The game also
features an expanded lightsaber combat
system that gives you a variety of
fighting forms to choose from. Q
