• Cloudchaser Microsoft   [rate] [review]
  Review by John Benn, 65%. "Obi-Wan is an average game in just about every way."

• Game Revolution   [rate] [review]
  Review by G-Wok, C+. "Bashing bad guys with Force powers and swinging that saber is plenty cool. But the evil control, level design and graphics from the Dark Side can turn a good jedi like Obi Wan bad."

• GamePro   [rate] [review]
  Review by Pong Sifu. "If you enjoyed Jedi Power Battles, you might dig Obi-Wan since it does immerse you in the Episode I milieu despite its many shortcomings."

• Gamers.com   [rate] [review]
  Review by Rob Smolka, 5/10. "Overall, Obi-Wan is a testament to bad design and programming. Unfortunately, this makes it a fitting tribute to its license."

• GamerWeb   [rate] [review]
  Review by Scott Kuss, 85%. "Overall the game is a fun, rewarding experience and has enough to keep you playing well after completion."

• Gamerzbrain.com   [rate] [review]
  Review by Fluffy Cow, 85%. "The playability is great, with a great multiplayer battle arena, where you can whoop some Jedi ass-kickin on your friends."

• Games Domain   [rate] [review]
  Review by Mike Smith, 3.5/5. "So despite the best efforts of Obi-Wan's negative aspects, under it all lurks a game which is just plain fun - nothing more, nothing less."

• Gameshark.com   [rate] [review]
  Review by Wooly Doug, 6/10. "One day a perfect Star Wars game will make it to a console, but this aint it."

• GameSpot   [rate] [review]
  Review by Miguel Lopez, 46%. "Something bad clearly happened when Obi-Wan was turned into an Xbox game. It doesn't run very well on the platform, and its rather decently designed control mechanics don't save it."

• GameZone   [rate] [review]
  Review by Michael Lafferty, 88%. "While this program might not be as intense as Halo, it will be a definite delight for Star Wars fans, and should even satisfy those who are RPG fans."

• Hotgames   [rate] [review]
  Review by Lawrence Neves, 3/5. "This is Wan too many misfires on the Phantom Menace license - send in the Clones."

• IGN   [rate] [review]
  Review by Aaron Boulding, 59%. "We're pretty sure wielding a lightsaber should be more fun than this."

• Planet Xbox   [rate] [review]
  Review by Tom Chick, 63%. "Obi-Wan might have been a good game on the last generation of consoles, but it's too confused, rough hewn, and repetitive to stand up against Xbox games like Halo or even Azurik."

• TechTV   [rate] [review]
  Review by Andrew S. Bub, 3/5. "The combat is an achievement ... It's a pity the Force isn't nearly as strong with the rest of this game."

• The Entertainment Depot   [rate] [review]
  Review by Ryan Newman, 5/10. "If this had been any other game without the benefits of the Force and light saber parrying combat, it would have been panned to high hell."

• The Laser   [rate] [review]
  Review by Michael Palisano. "Obi-Wan is a close-call but misses the mark, with too many flaws that detract from the overall experience so it missed the opportunity it had to be a great game."

• VGLN   [rate] [review]
  Review by Jolex Del Pilar, 88%. "Obi-Wan, while not perfect ... is a fairly solid title that stays true to the Star Wars Universe, and also does what no game has managed to do before, that is emulate lightsabre combat perfectly."

  Consumer reviews.

• Xbox Exclusive   [rate] [review]
  Review by Pete Calderwood, 84%. "If you can get over the poor visuals, Obi Wan could be your new all-time favorite Star Wars game, due to its fantastic gameplay."
