Star Wars Episode I Jedi Power Battles for the Dreamcast.
Includes manual. Some very light marks on disc. A small crack on box of box at top.
Jedi Power Battles is basically a Reader's Digest retelling of the film, with a fair amount more action thrown in. It is also a good looking game most of the time. The lightsabers glow and the blaster shots look menacing. Characters are animated rather well and the framerate never seems to budge. In fact, the whole package is a fair sight better than the PlayStation version of the title. The designers have done a fine job of taking tradional 8-bit era platform-style gameplay and bringing it up to speed on the Dreamcast. Combined with the film-grade sound effects and the always spectacular John Williams film score, there's nothing technological that should stand in the way of this being an all around great game.
The coolest gameplay mechanic by far is the ability to deflect incoming laser fire with a quick flick of your lightsaber. If you just run around holding down the block button, the laser fire will only be deflected in random directions, making it a useless tactic. However, if you time it just right, your saber will send enemy fire streaking right back at the bad guys. Since there are many places throughout the game where the enemies are too far away from you to make it to melee range safely, this deflecting tactic is an important one to learn.
