10 Hidden Gem Star Wars Games You Need To Play

A controversial choice, as while the decision to map Obi-Wan’s lightsaber to the right stick is - to quote Master Kenobi himself - "curious", there is a decent game hidden behind this somewhat brazen design choice.

The game features an original plot which leads directly into the events of The Phantom Menace, and culminates in a climactic lightsaber duel with Darth Maul.

Also boasting a robust and entertaining local multiplayer Jedi Battle mode in which players enter into one-on-one lightsaber duels, this game is not nearly as poor as the naysayers would have you believe.

In fact, aside from the divisive controls, the only aspect of Obi-Wan which even the most vehement apologist couldn’t defend with a straight face is the voice acting. Whilst not as bad as the official Episode 1 movie tie-in game, the acting in Obi-Wan is still cringe-worthy in the extreme.

This is, however, a relatively minor gripe which should not detract too heavily from what is, at its core, an enjoyable Star Wars game centred entirely around the sassiest Jedi Knight in the galaxy (seriously, watch The Clone Wars animated show), Obi-Wan Kenobi.
