    An original title? Heck no. Is it a complex title? Certainly not. But is it loads of fun? You bet.

    A focused single-player experience, and should be thought of as that. If you liked "Rogue Squadron" you'll definitely enjoy Battle for Naboo.
  3. What LucasArts has done is create a traditional console title with little regard for computer game-specific enhancements. So while BfN doesn't flirt overly much with the Dark Side, Jedi masters take heed; unless pure, unadulterated melee sounds like a plan, this incredibly basic blaster will send shivers down your lightsaber.
  4. Hardly any gaming value period. Trust me on this one.

    I thought it was pretty fun at first. Then a played Rogue Squadron. BFN is a huge step backwards. It's basically the same system as RS, which is a good one, except it's on Naboo, and it's worse. Plus, it's really hard to get medals in. Expand

    Only fun if you are a crazed Star Wars fan.
