Review by Andrew S. Bub. "There's little adventure and little action to be found."

PC review by Johnny Liu, B-. "The Phantom Menace successfully captures the movie, both good and bad."

Playstation review by Earl Green, 2/4. "Oh, what a frustrating game ... The game is played out from a strange kind of Steadicam-hovering-somewhere-overhead perspective, and the movement can become quite distracting, almost dizzying at times."

PC review by Victor Lucas, B-. "Plagued with bugs and enough quirks to give stone-faced Qui-Gon Jinn a nervous tic, The Phantom Menace CD-ROM is still fast-paced and smart enough to keep players glued to their computer chairs."

Review by James Zamkotowicz. "Out of any movie to-game-transfer, this may be the best I've seen."

PC review by Byron Hinson, 76%. "The Phantom Menace was clearly rushed onto shelves for to coincide with the release of the movie. It is very unfortunate as I feel that a few extra months of coding could have turned an average game into a pretty good one."

Review by Steve, 76%. "This game isn't terrible, just not great. ... By level six I was struggling to keep my eyes open and playing it to the end was a real chore."

PC review by Tal Blevins, 62%. "The Phantom Menace is a mildly entertaining game that can be extremely frustrating and quirky at times."

PC review by Randy Sluganski, C. "I wish I could report that Phantom Menace is a good but failed try at an adventure game, but it is a sheep in wolf's clothing."

PC review by Greg Matthews, 3/5. "It's a shame that a title offering players so much possibility as a sort of hybrid gaming experience ends up being such an average product."

PC review by Bill Hess, 81%. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is just like the movie. Some people are going to love it and others are going to walk away from it with mixed reviews."
- The Electric Playground - http://www.elecplay.com/reviews_article.php?article=1133
PC review by Victor Lucas, 7/10. "As a game, The Phantom Menace takes its cue straight from the movie; it's fun but it's far from perfect."

PC review by Michael Ahlf, 4/5. "While it isn't the greatest game in terms of replayability and accessibility, I'd certainly suggest the game for anybody who likes games that don't require extremely tedious hours to beat."
