- Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo (known as Star Wars: Battle for Naboo on the PC) is an arcade-style action game co-developed by Factor 5 and LucasArts. It is a spiritual sequel to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron released two years earlier. Despite the similarities between the two games, the development team designed a new game engine for Battle for Naboo and included land- and water-based combat in addition to aerial combat.

Star Wars Battle For Naboo review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge.
I have a hilarious story about this game:
My family didn't always have the cash to buy games when I was a kid, but rentals from the video store were cheap. It was in the same parking lot as the grocery store and mom would often hook me up with a 5 day rental of choice when I went along and helped her shop for the week and load groceries. Me being like you a huge, HUGE fan of Rouge Squadron, I got excited when I saw this game on the shelf there. I didn't like it quite as much but I did still love it: it had much the same game play I loved and included speeder bikes mowing down droids and you could pilot Darth Maul's sleek black star fighter. Amazing stuff really! I remember going back for it a couple times but there was one big problem: the copy at the rental place had a really awful glitch in the cartridge where only on the final mission where you take down the big space station, it would fatally freeze the game with an awful buzz that required you to turn off the system. No matter how many times I tried, no matter how much I tried blowing in it or anything else, you simply could not finish that copy of the game. Oh well.
Flash forward a few years: I'm a little older, and new consoles are in and N64 is out, the old rental place had stopped carrying anything pertaining to the old systems to make room for the new. The local EB games had a basket full of N64 cartridges piled up like firewood and priced about the same. I had a little bit of money and still had my old system and figured I would pick thru and catch up on all that stuff I missed for whatever reason. Found a beat up copy of Battle for Naboo for $3! Snatched it without a second look, took it home with some other stuff and popped it in, eager to run down memory lane and FINALLY see the ending. I have a blast and I get to that last level....and I was totally flabbergasted to once again get that same fatal freeze. At a loss for words, I got up and turned off the console, pulled the cartridge out and inspected it to find, in total fucking disbelief, nothing other than a big silver sticker on the back that read "PROPERTY OF HOLLYWOOD VIDEO".
The bastards had wholesale traded in their old games to the EB Games store 2 doors down for credit to buy new console games, and I bought the EXACT same faulty copy that infuriated me so long ago. I still laugh about it. I guess I'm just not meant to see how that one ends.
Haha that’s a great story, I’m not sure if that was a glitch on every cart tho - never heard of that one before
Omg if that’s true that’s unbelievable.
emulate it.
The game was given to me randomly by my grandpa. Id get my games used from the flea market. I totally agree with you, it wasnt Rogue squadron good but it was still a good game. One of my favorite levels was the boats vs vulture droids. I was like 7 when i owned this game haha hopefully you watched the ending on TH-cam by now, you totally deserve to see it.
I really enjoyed reading that mate, I hope you source a copy off ebay or elsewhere and get to finish the game once and for all 👍🏻
(I kinda get a feeling that Hollywood video copy you have is something you should treasure given you have such a long history with it 😅)
Hi Glen, Factor 5 completely rewrote their own N64 microcode and the Star Wars engine from scratch if I remember. They realised after Rogue Squadron that the N64 could do a lot more and used their skills to push it to the limits - ie 640x480, vast landscapes, realtime dynamic lighting, weather effects and with many more NPC's on screen at once - impressive stuff! I remember Julian Eggebrecht stating in an interview once that if Rare took what they learned from GoldenEye and rewrote the engine completely instead of just uptooling it they could have pushed Perfect Dark 2x as much with a smooth framerate.
liveswired thats very cool to know, its a shame theres not much of a dev scene on the n64 these days as they could take all this knowledge and we would see some awesome work
N64 Glenn Plant fuck yea man if new n64 games were to be released in 2018, it would give me such a big boner!
@@n64glennplant 8 years later, a person known as Kaze Emanuar is actually doing just that. Their work is just incredible.
They must have edited microcode, the variant of Fast3D used for the SW games tops at roughly 160k polygons/sec, yet his hacks are pushing closer to 200k/sec, it not significantly more.
@@so-vp2qh i also follow the kaze rtyi game, and he finally match the lights with the style of the renders from 96. I'm not on the technical side but, the light that he made from the camera itself is that dynamic lightning?
I was a huge N64 fan, and still am a huge Star Wars fan. I played SW Racer and Rogue Squadron to death back in the day.... But I never even knew this existed? How I missed it, I have no idea.
+bowser515 i think its because it was a fairly late game really and a lot of the hype was on pod racer
This game, like a few other N64 gems, was released in late 2000 when everyone was writing about and paying attention to other/upcoming consoles.
*****
Yeah maybe. But speaking as somebody who bought two Naboo Starfighter kits as recently as last week, I was certainly the target audience. I'm surprised it skipped me by is all.
+bowser515 I never knew about this one either. It looks cool.
bowser515 Yup, me too.
Never knew this game existed! I'm a huge fan of the N64 Rogue Squadron game, so I've got to go pick this game up some time.
Oh yeah. This one was good back in the day.
One feature of this game not mentioned in this review is that it has secret platinum medals.🎖 The stats to earn them were quite high (the level where you drive speeders all over the city was hard as frick). Earning all the plats in this game is one of the hardest things I ever accomplished in all my years of gaming.
This game was my personal favorite as a kid! I remember playing this for hours, never tiring from replaying the levels over and over again. I wasn't platinum level material, but I knew how to beat the levels with vehicles that normally would not have been the best to use in the scenario given.
Glenn your reviews are high quality and nostalgic. I mostly missed battle for Naboo but I played the hell out of RS. It’s now 12/4/23. I have RS and a good set up to try it again. I’m blown away by the replay ability in 2023. Thanks for the high-quality reviews. God bless you.
Hope you try naboo too!
Wildest thing about this game is that the main charicer "Gavyn Sykes" is now does youtube videos on his "Retro Recipies" channel.
Did anyone notice that the Naboo fighter looks like a N64 pad? No joke.
Raven Gaming "NO IT DOESN'T, Idiot!" .... 🤔
***Looks at the controller again.... sees the star fighter... realizes he necro'd a year old thread..... ***
"I guess I'm the idiot" 😒
@@AllknowingUnknown LOL! 🤣😂
Nostalgia + game reviews = great video. Thanks for these!
thank you :) thats what this n64 channel is all about !
The movie (episode 1) is not sooo good but, this game... it's a masterpiece!
this game is under appreciated, worth having in the n64 library
This looks like proto Battlefront.
imagine Battlefront on the N64, using dial-up for online multiplayer :D
the n64 was really a beast of a console but most of its power didn't really get realized by developers til later on in its life with games like this one. looking at this game and many others that came out over the last couple years of that console generation, you can really see how much of a groundbreaking console the n64 was even if it didn't outsell the playstation. there's no denying that sony's console even at its best couldn't hold a candle to what the n64 could do at its best in terms of visuals. some of the later n64 games even gave dreamcast and playstation 2 titles a run for their money in terms of visual fidelity.
Lars Amble metal gear solid and final fantasy and its cgi cutscenes enough said
CGI cutscene really don't have anything to do with graphics. Its just video being read off a disc.
@@160sharp yea that's bad examples man. Cgi cutscenes are made on a computer and put on that disc as just that....a cutscene. A video being played back. Requiring no graphics power from the console, just needing enough memory to store those on there. That's why everything in ff7 is all 2d photo images used for the background world. Bc it wasn't powerful enough to create such a large world like ocarina of time or majoras mask and render everything like all the polygons(triangles) or large 3d environments. I love the playstation. But that's its charm. Its power was no where near the raw n64 power, even without the expansion pack. Thats why some of my personal favorites like batman and Robin and driver 2( both games where you can openly free roam and explore and get in and out of vehicles. Really ahead of it's time. Gta was years behind both of those lol anyways) they have a 2d city backdrop to help you not pay attention to everything rendering in within 5 feet of your character and you cant see past 5 feet as far as 3d structures go. It uses a slight fog effect too like turok 1 did for the n64 to help that rendering only a few feet in front of you problem. Except all of turok was completely 3d and the ps1 games I mentioned were just characters and cars being 3d. Everything else 2d. Knowledge is power.
B Mac yes the N64 has some advantages being 64 bit, however it doesn’t change the fact ps1 had some advantages over the N64, it basically changed the entertainment format for CD’s being the new standard, and also funny enough final fantasy 7 couldn’t of been done on the N64 it was weak in comparison to the PlayStation in that regard, look up a video that talks about how many cartridges would be needed to fit all of final fantasy 7
@@160sharp
The only advantage the PS1 had over the N64 was the capacity of its media.
That's it. In all other areas it gets stomped by the N64.
This game used a 256 megabit cartridge!
That's some mega power!
I rented all the star wars games on n64 back in the day, I'm slowly repurchasing every game I've owned or rented.
Star Wars game were some of the few games that i was willing to shell out for to buy when i was a kid. Thats why i own half the star wars games for the game cube and the xbox. I lost my original gamecube and most of its games in a (minor) flood but i rebought all the star wars games i owned for the console like bounty hunter and rouge squadron
@Juan2003gtr A girl that likes 64 and 69 ;-)
Same anything starwars i had to play. I didn't understand the stories i just loved the fighting lmao
How have I missed this game after all these years? Looks like GP has convinced me to make another retro !64 purchase!
I'm surprised you didn't even mention the secret platinum medals. Players discovered them by accident and it was really fun back then taking part (on GameFAQS) in figuring out the platinum requirements for each level.
The two Rogue Squadron game on the GC also had platinum medals.
Wow... Amazing graphics!!!! Great game. I'm getting it. Great Review, Glenn
I Played this right when it came out and I liked it. Im a big fan of Start wars Back story and E.U. stuff so I got to appreciate the good work. I highly recommend a playthrough.
I absolutely loved Rogue Squadron and like a lot of other people commenting I had no idea this game existed.
I was a big fan of 'Rogue Squadron' for the N64. Factor 5 did an amazing job on the audio, and the challenging gameplay made it one of Lucasarts top games.
Hate to be a nitpicker but you said that this was "the third and final Star Wars game for the N64" when it was in fact the fourth (although the third N64 exclusive). I enjoy watching your videos during breaks. EDIT: Actually none of them were truly N64 exclusive as they came out on PC too.
The story for this game was hard to pull together, for sure, since almost all the heroes were off-planet. If I recall, the idea that finally worked was to keep the Federation at bay for as long as possible while waiting for the Republic to rescue you. A noble hold-the-line kind of thing.
The space level was kind of interesting in that lack of terrain made it easier to just speed-run the level, taking out main targets. They had to build a crazy spaghetti of splines connecting the the generators to each other and the comm satellite in the middle, with logic at each junction to keep enemies on your tail. If you just tried to hit generator after generator, you woke up a group at each which followed you to the next. Eventually you had a huge swarm making life really hard - that was a bid to counter to speed runs, but it felt pretty fun in the long run.
The level after this was supposed to represent comms coming back little-by-little so you had a chance to hit a lot of enemies temporarily out of commission. You had a minute or so to get as many as you could before the comms came back on line, thus determining the difficulty of the level after that first minute. The level eventually got reassigned to someone who didn't agree with this idea, which kind of nullified the point of the space level (though the resulting level was fun enough.) The original designer did get a chance to try this design idea again in a later game, and worked out well.
It was an odd project, with the N64 approaching end-of-life. The game felt like a red-headed stepchild at the time, so it's gratifying to know how much some people enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks for the insight that’s really cool, the level design idea I think would have worked really well and not something I can recall seeing in other games
Have to admire the technical aspects on this game. Password TALKTOME even gives full developers audia commentary during playing levels. However, personally Rebel Strike is the best and most defined game for me on Roque -series.
39 BBY, what a crazy year.
That was an awesome month of reviews my friend! Covered off some incredible - and not-so-incredible titles. Can't wait to see what's next!
I'm not too sure myself yet! ;D
I remember getting this and Paper Mario for christmas back in the day, I did enjoy Battle for Naboo and the things I remember the most of it was at 7:20.
I remember dying there and thinking "how in the world am I supposed to even get through that?" it was and still is quite ridiculous lol.
ha for me i think the boat stages were pretty cool but i just didn't like the speeder levels all that much tbh i found them a little flat no pun intended
Damn, I really missed out, I heard this game wasn't that great but I think I would've loved it!
I remember playing this a lot at my best friend's house and a few get-togethers elsewhere.. I wish they would make a collection of this and all the Rogue Squadron games already.
Awesome review, man! Also love the music playing in the background it reminds me of Cacophony (Jason Becker/Marty Friedman). Was wondering who's music that was playing?
I wish Battlefront 2 copied most of the sound effects for this ship and the single fire laser (besides its overcharge ability)
I would have loved a gundam game done on this style
I loved this game a kid. It's getting pricey too.
I remember renting this game when it came out. It was quite good. I remember using a GameShark to get golds on every mission (I had 2 days to play it, so I kinda had to cheat a little) which would then give you a mission to play as the Sith Infiltrator. Really fun game. And please do a review sometime in the future for Rouge Squadron II. That was also an amazing game, and really was a great showcase of what the GameCube was capable of at launch.
hehe if i had a gameshark my life would be so much easier now! :P
Proof that the hardware wasnt the problem, but the dev library. The the tools and tech now, i imagine talented people could make a game almost dreamcast like on the N64
I played this game to death as a kid. I managed to get all the gold medals and man was it hard.
The Side Quest Gamer thats some achievement :)
***** Took me three years playing on and off and while I wouldn't say the completion bonus was worth it, it's still a nice bragging right.
The Side Quest Gamer exactly :)
+N64 Glenn Plant Played this one as a lad myself as well, thoroughly enjoyed it. Rogue Squadron was always my favorite though. I remember playing it non stop around age 10/11, obsessed with 100% completing it. Eventually I did get all gold medals etc., everything possible in Rogue Squadron including the secret upgrades and ship unlocks. You're also rewarded with a new title on your file after achieving 100%, which was Supreme Allied Commander. My kid self was so happy and proud to show my friends that rank every time I'd boot up the game to show my friends haha. #memories
Well, seems like you need to dig out your N64 and play this game again, because there are platinum medals in this game. Yes that's right, platinum.
Thanks for reviewing all of the starwars N64 games! It made me want to play them all again! I just realized that i have only beat 1 of the 4 games! I need to get to work!
thats 3 more games to complete the quadrology!
good review Glenn I don't remember playing this game tbh, it does look very good (I suspect IRL even better) well done another top notch review mate
thanks, this is becoming a pricey one to get now! be on the look out for it!
This game was amazing. I remember my grandpa getting it for me from the flea market where i got my games from. This wasn't rogue squadron but I liked how you were fighting on the ground and even on sea. Seeing the Naboo Bombers gave me ptsd lmao that level was crazy hard. Honestly, id rent the hell out of all the starwars games I could get my hands on. If it had star Wars I had to play it or try to own it. I even got Star Wars Battlefront before I owned my ps2. Read the book like crazy lmao
My and my bros picked this game up at Blockbuster when it first came out and we played the heck out of it for a few weeks before returning it. We later bought it for my big brother for his birthday so we played it even more. However, going back to it, It's not quite as good as I remember. When me and my brothers were young, we actually preferred the Starwars Prequals, but as we got older we started to lean more towards the original trilogy, and thus our interest in the game started to slip away the older we got. We eventually sold it and on a whim, we got Rouge Squadron, and we had a lot more fun with that. It's amazing how much aesthetics can effect ones opinion of a game. Still, Battle for Naboo is fun and is worth purchasing but only after you get Rouge Squadren.
thanks for sharing your memory with it! i too prefer RS and yeah i think if episode 1 had of been a better film we would have got a better game
I don't really remember this all that much. I think I liked it more than Rogue Squadron, but as Glenn said, the system was winding down and I didn't end up having as much time with it.
had this game for PC, it was fantastic
I hadn't even heard of this until I started collecting CIB N64 last year. After watching your review I had to have a go. They definitely did an amazing job with what they had. Thank you for this excellent review of a hidden gem GP!
Thanks! Yeahs it seemed to have been forgotten for a long time
Patch together the star wars games Battle for Naboo, Rouge Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, and Episode 1 Racer all in one massive game for the N64.
I'm sorry I missed this one, as it looks great. I'd just gotten a PS2 and had started to move on from my N64 in December of 2000 when this was released. I'll have to pick this one up.
let me know what you think when you do! I'm sure you'd dig it going back to play it even to this day
That lighting is good. I was thinking about requesting a game. But pretty much all of the opinions I would want to hear from you, you already made videos on those games. I'm thinking, maybe Tonic Trouble? (I already know you're going to say it's horrible). Maybe Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie, to hear your insights on them. Wait a minute, I was searching your channel and didn't see Mission Impossible! That is my request. I like the game.
You know I started recording MI a year ago but stopped half way through I should go back to it. Tonic trouble I quite like and I really want to get around to. Banjo kazooie I'm about 70% through recording :-)
Sweet, now I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on Tonic Trouble.
i totally missed this one i had my eye on rouge squadron 2 on the gamecube by that point in the n64 life cycle another great star wars review glen
yeah its for that reason i think a lot of people skipped this one! its worth revisiting !
Missed out on this. Loved Rogue Leader on GameCube though. Definitely loved flying the N-1 Starfighter in Star Wars Galaxies a lot, so brings back memories in a roundabout way. =)
I remembered this game being decent. It felt like Rogue Squadron, but based in the Episode 1 era. Got this and Mario Party 2 as a gift from my cousin when he sold his N64 and games a while ago.
i bet you got this for a steal then...now the price is on the up big time
Me and my brothers found this game to be a worthy successor to Rogue Squadron. It even introduced a mechanic that would later be included in Rogue Squadron II, namely the vehicle switching mid-level. My family never got a Gamecube but I did get myself the guide books for Rogue Squadron II and III thinking that someday I would get these games.
I find it interesting that some people would be upset about not being able to play as certain characters from the movies. The gameplay was all about vehicular combat with the vehicles being the star characters and not their pilots. I never went into a Rogue Squadron game thinking I was going to be Luke Skywalker. I was thinking that I was going to pilot an X-Wing.
yeah you know this series has made me want to go back and play RS 2 and 3 over again as i love those as a teen!
Wonderful review, well-stated points.
Good Review! I have mixed emotions about this game myself. I bought it hoping it would be just like rogue squadron. But instead I was given too much speeder missions which I personally didn't care for.
yeah you know i felt that was a little annoying too, but it had very little in the film to draw from so props for that i guess
Nice video, we will watch your career with great interest!
lucas arts was one of the best video game studios imo. Almost everythign they put out was a good or great game. I never got around to playing this game even though im a huge star wars fan and played a lot of the games. I will have to pick it up but for some reason it just doesn't look like it would be that great. I've never been to big of a fan of flying while shooting games.
i remember how they hide that cheat code to play with a 1969 buick convertible ...
retrovideogamejunkie that was a good cheat :)
My favorite cheat was to unlock the TIE Interceptor ship. Loved that ship, hard for beginners but as an ace pilot with experience I used to dodge and dart enemies with that agile fighter, dominating the skies and usually taking no damage. Good times haha.
Great review again dude.
thanks fella :)
I like this game but I prefer Starfighter because the story is a lot more interesting to be honest
I like this game but finding those shield generator satellite things was so annoying
I really need to find this one, and play it, as it looks really good. Awesome video as always :-)
thank you! if you've nailed down rogue squadron then this is the next step
What about 2D sprites at 1:28s ?
I bought this when it came out, and I still to this day get a gross feeling when I think about it. I think it is partly due to the fact that I was sort of scrambling to buy anything new, but familiar at the time, and was severely disappointed with the game as a whole. It's not a terrible game, but if I were to choose one word to describe it, it would have to be "unsatisfying." I most definitely agree with you that it just dosen't feel like a Star Wars game.
This is a solid game, not as good as rogue squadron. Great review. Agree w the music criticism. Also would love to see u review rogue squadron games for gamecube
Maybe one day 👍😬
I remember this game being really hard. It was a good game.
What a Great month is has been mate !! Very well done ! :-) A game I have never played but I bet Johnny has. It looks great for an N64 title and good to know that they didn't go into it half assed like some developers would in the same situation with the cube around the corner :-)
but never forget that rogue squadron 2 and 3 on gamecube are both bloody awesome! i got 2 on launch day with my console and couldn't believe how good it was! loved 2!
I also got Rogue Squadron 2 with my cube and Die Hard Vendetta and sonic adventure 2 and its blew my mind !! :-)
my day 1 pick up was rogue 2, luigis mansion and i think i got ISS as well but that might have been a week or so later i forget
As a fanboy of Rouge Squadron, I ate this up. It plays just the same as it's predecessor and has plenty of replayability for completionists.
SotE, Rogue Squadron and Battle for Naboo was also for PC
Yeah the console exclusives were n64
***** What do you think about PC versions of BfN and RS?
Not played bfn but RS was built for n64 and then ported to PC, personally I think the n64 is the better version but both are great
It never met up to rogue squadron and the game cube ones. I don't hate the films like most it just didn't feel right
Great review mate! Like always :)
thanks brian :)
I regret selling this game! I'm eager to find it and buy it back.
I wish this game had an on foot battle. That would be awesome!
That would have been very cool
Played the shit out of it, Loved it so much. I wish someone would re-release a playable version on PC because i'd easly give it another solid playthrough and enjoy it just as much. The only thing that disappointed me from this was unlike Rogue Squadron it had no proper cockpit view with fully modeled cockpit, that alone lets you know that Rogue Squadron had love put into it and BfN was just to capitilise on the Hype around Ep 1. But i Loved it so much despite some of its cheapness.
I really enjoyed star wars month these were awesome gsmes for the n64 thank u glenn for reviewing them :-)
you are welcome! thank you for watching them!
Another great review. I never realized this was a decent game as, you're right, I simply overlooked it when it came out way back when. I liked Rogue Squadron, but shied away from anything new-trilogy related.
yeah this is easily defined as rogue squadron based on the first movie, still kinda cool and at least we did eventually get RS2
Yeah, and I really liked RS2. On the technical side I remember reading that the soldiers you see on the ground in RS2 had twice the polygon count of the Storm Troopers in Shadows of the Empire. A great illustration of how next gen the Gamecube was!
cool fact thanks!
Great video Glenn. Hows the collection coming?
slow, I've been so busy i haven't added much over the past few months bar a few games i want to review soon :)
This is the first 3d graphics game I ever play .... and it was all worth
its a cool game, prefer rogue squadron though
I see this video was uploaded on January 25th, 2014, the day after my 20th birthday. 🥳
Happy birthday for then! Haha
@@n64glennplant 😎🤣
I have to say I never abandoned Nintendo 64 although I could only afford about three N64 games brand new I played quite a few from blockbuster and when the next generation of consuls came out Blockbuster sold their games I bought everyone I could get my hands on also GameStop I bought every game I can get my hands on there to my parents can never afford to Spend $60 on a game but once The game cube and PS two came out there are more than willing to give me five or $10 for an old N64 game I think I paid five dollars for battle of Naboo two for Star Wars racer And I think I purchased rogue squadron and shadows of the empire new but the last n64 game I actually bought new was paper Mario as far as RPG‘s goes it’s second only to KOTOR and it’s a real shame Manny games that started out on the N64 died on the game cube Rogue squadron and Torok are two examples
first heard it....seems good game
Played this game before I watched any of the movies and loved it. Was quite underwhelmed by the film this game is based around.
great review mate are you planning on reviewing conkers bad fur day or operation winback?
they are both on my to do list! i don't have a copy of conkers bad fur day anymore to review though as i gave it away on a contest here last year i think it was now. and the price has gone crazy since making buying a copy difficult
yeah people are asking silly money for it these days mate great game though shame we will probably never see a sequel
how many 64 games do you have glenn?
Much as I was a fan of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Episode Racer I never played this game, but definately have to pick this game up if I find it for a great price. :D
yeah it seems to be going up in price though as people realise they didn't play it back in the day
Oh ok I better find it soon before it's worth a lot of money lol.
I recently acquired every n64 Star Wars game and this was the first one I beat. It’s a fun game but pretty hard. I had to use the infinite lives code to make progress. The code is literally the word PATHETIC. My big brother had a laugh about that code
Strangely, i never hear about this star wars game for the N64.
But as i see, this game was more based on shooting style. Anyways great review tho. ^^
thanks you should check this one out, if you liked rogue squadron then this is a must
64 - Best Gen Console Ever, Gamecube - 2nd Best, Wii - 3rd, and so on...
gamecube was the last nintendo console i owned or cared to own. for me no console since had enough games that interested me enough to tempt me into buying one. the gba and ds both had plenty of great games but i completely lost interest in their home consoles after gamecube.
I'll have to give this one a try. I hated the movie, so I never gave the game a chance.
I remember getting this game for Christmas around the time it came out. I loved it. But the aiming was awfull compared to the rogue games.
Dude, don't you know anything about how the Star Wars logo looks? The A's don't have those horizontal lines on their tops
Believe it or not I didn’t create the logo as I would have been a kid then....
@@n64glennplant lol ok? This TH-cam channel isn't that old
I have no idea what you’re talking about in all honesty 😂
Non Star Wars fans? Is there such thing?
Bloody Trekkies 😂
Can you review Lego Racers?
cool choice! ill get around to it as soon as i can i have a few videos already lined up at the moment though I'm just finishing off !
Ive never played this. I remember when it came out and Nintendo Power was doing strategies for it and what not and I saw that the scale in this game was terrible. The battle droids looked as if they were 10 feet tall…..
haha yeah they are pretty damn huge!
Never seen this game i must pick it up if i get the chance
yeah its becoming harder to come by!
ill just steal yours lol now where did i put my ninja costume and smoke bombs haha
I'm gettin this game
I want to buy a load of old Nintendo 64 and PS1/PS2 games because games nowadays are all about DLC and Microtransactions
=D really awesome looking game glen.
yeah its a must for star wars fans for sure
It`s funny in a lot of your videos you talk about the game coming out near the end of the life-cycle so nobody cared, yet it seems this is just when developers were hitting their stride with the console, they were familiar with it and could make the best games possible. The console was definitely short-changed, and I think we could have seen many more games with graphics nobody thought possible with it had the N64 just had a few more years. just look at the games released in 2000 and 2001, so many near-masterworks. It had like half the life-span of what it should have gotten.
I'm not disagreeing with this comment at all, but, when you go back to that time the hardware/laser disc/technological advancements at the time - it was so hard not to be swept up in the hype of it all. I don't think any of the developers were immune to this and left the cartridge for dead. People were jumping on the PlayStation bandwagon, I remember it well because my brother and I wanted one bad, all our friends and cousins had one but we were at that age where 'if you want it that bad pay for it yourself' and that was never gonna happen.
No way this is better than rouge squadren. It was to easy. I rented it, and 100% in one week.
This looks like that Russian tank level in cod waw but stretched to be a whole game
Disagree about it not feeling like a star wars game ,or really caring about playing as obscure characters
