"It does a good job of making you feel like the agile, butt-kicking apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn, but lackluster graphics and weak performance are its undoing."
"The overall picture of Obi-Wan then is a poor one. The fifteen-stage single player adventure is tedious, and as most of it follows the plot of The Phantom Menace there’s little for even hardened Star Wars followers to look forward to uncovering."

"If LucasArts had to make the switch to Xbox, then they should have spent the time and money to do it right. Obi-Wan could have been as good as anything LucasArts has ever done. What we end up with for our shiny new black box is a fun but frustrating game that got pushed out into the big, bad world too soon."
