This Game basically is a Beat'em Up.
I tested the Dreamcast Version before i bought it, compared to it, it feels snappier. I guess the Lag mentioned in the other Review is true, as i wasn't getting hit as much and my Hits landed more often.
Also, everything is available from the Start, imo a good Thing!
To the Game itself:
You choose your Jedi (or other Character) and than you just beat your Enemies, as stated, it is Beat'em Up.
So you follow the linear Level, in wich Power Ups and some Stuff to collect are around to find.
There are two Power Ups for the Sword, one makes it large, so you can hit Enemies easier.
Also a Shield, that one is very useful in Situations with many Enemies to deflect their Shots and to not get hit too often.
Also really helpful against Bosses.
You can collect up to four Shields and there are enough around, so use them.
You can block with your Sword and if you time it good enough deflect the Laser Shot to kill your Enemy, for some it is even required to do so.
You can lock on to your Enemy, by doing so you are circling around.
You have three Buttons to Attack and you can make the typical Combos of X X Y etc.
The Levels are diverse and fun enough, you also have some Mini Games.
Overall, the Games delivers what it promises, its not an AAA Releaes and the Price Tag for what it is, is acceptable.
I take one Star out for some Minor Bugs, as the Main Menu Music restarts when Browsing through the Options (this is the same as in the Dreamcast Version).
I think they lowered the Yoda Laugh when collecting Items, this feld less prominent when playing this Version.
