80But beware, you'll need a little time to learn the controls.
-
With controls that improve on the PSX version, tight graphics, more than ten levels, and plenty of lightsaber action, Jedi Power Battles has achieved Jedi Master status.
-
93The best straight-action title on the Dreamcast, and by far the most brilliant Episode I related video game ever produced.
-
80The control in Jedi Power Battles is fantastic.
-
79Still missing that fun factor and variety that has elevated the better known beat 'em ups of the past.
-
It has its glorious moments and it has its "what the hell were they thinking" moments.
-
68Despite a boastful collection of Extra characters, modes, and secrets, the biggest element of them all: a great sense of fun, is just a bit on the low side.
-
65A flawed game, but much better than the PSX version, and even with it's problems, anyone who loves Star Wars or action games will enjoy it.
-
60The gaming equivalent of a vapid summer blockbuster: shallow, but fun while it lasts and a lot more enjoyable if you experience it with a friend.
-
58Those looking for more complexity in their action games, though, will definitely want to look elsewhere.
-
75The once elegant and powerful weapon of the Jedi has been reduced to a crude chopping device that will kill a given enemy in five or six hits.
-
100Smoother, faster animation (the game runs at 60 frames per second) and awesome lighting effects dominate the game's look, while transparency filters, water effects, and background movements round out the spectacular visuals.
-
90JPB 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.
-
60Slightly higher-than-average entertainment on Dreamcast, but only as high as it has to be and not an inch higher in quality or creativity.

Yoda9The game has great effects with smooth animation, but can get very fustrating when you're stuck as it is a hard game.
-
SnickersW.8Good game, some flaws, overall I give it an 8.

BrendonS.10It follows the movie very well and not many movie games do.
