- The most out of pocket Star Wars game goes to Phantom Menace. Did I expect this? No. Did I love it? Uh...

You can get past the gungans without killing them by force pushing them out the way. When I played for the first time as a kid I didn’t realise though I just murdered everybody. I got this game for my 8th birthday and it holds a special place in my heart.
I’m pretty the gungans were borderline extinct by the time I finished that level lol
@@ThatJerseyGamer and not just the men… but the women… and the children. It’s bonkers that a game where you play as obi-wan and qui gonn lets you murder children.
I'm surprised you didn't address the optional killing spree on Tatooine.
Now we wait for Jedi Power Battles 🤞🙏🏼
Bro being 4 years old and jumping into the fan for the first time was trauma!
I never played The Phantom Menace tie-in, but I did play Jedi Power Battles, which was essentially a second attempt at a video game adaptation of the film, and it was widely considered to be the superior one. It was challenging -- occasionally maddening -- and addictive. It had some of the best lightsaber combat ever outside of the Jedi Academy series, and was arguably a spiritual predecessor to the Revenge of the Sith PS2/XBOX tie-in as far as combos are concerned.
It was a brilliant game at the time. Co-op with my little brother was great until he'd accidentally jump off an edge and die...and we had shared lives 😅
@@JoshTT2 That brings a smile to my face and echo of old nerves. Unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to play co-op once, but I do remember the shared lives, which amplified the anxiety every time one of us had to jump onto a tiny platform over a black abyss or a ledge. I remember being physically and mentally tired after jumping sections. 😆
That was a mainstay of my childhood. Not sure I agree on the lightsaber combat...every time I go back it feels like I'm playing with a baseball bat until you get to the actual battles and the block button becomes next to impossible to use because there's a cool down metre.
That game made plo koon my favorite jedi
The door is open, let's go!
Step back because I’m about to slash…
All my prices!
I played the crap out that game as a kid (on PC). There were numerous ways to solve most of the puzzles and get through missions. It had a lot of surprisingly good RPG elements that were a bit hidden. It was hard as hell, but enjoyable.
Played it on PC when it came out and loved it. Was actually very atmospheric with the graphics and lighting being excellent.
When I was a kid my friend had this game and Jedi Power Battles.
Jedi Power Battles was awesome!
I never played this one but i'm always up for watching more Retro Rebound, one of the beat things you've done on CZcams Matty, this whole channel is an absolute blast, can't get enough :)
I remember getting this game when I was about 10, and I got stuck on Tatooine. I was so mad cause as a kid I wanted to get to the Darth Maul fight. Back then I didn’t really know much about things I could’ve looked on the internet to help me. So I never beat the game sadly.
I did beat the game, don't even know how I've managed to pull it at that age lol. But I think we just look for a guide in gaming magazines then (which might be the reason why not many of them survived to the age of internet)
I remember playing this game as a kid and not getting very far because it got super difficult, but I remember having fun with it💚🤟🏻
You need to force push the gungans xd But yeah, 20 years ago I also resorted to violence.
Didn’t even know they had a game for phantom menace lol. I thought they only had pod racing for it
It was tough to play this one but so happy to see it on ps5. Really hope now we can start to see masters of teras kasi, power battles and rebel assault ported. Preserve the star wars classics
I remember renting this game back in the day. And I remember how frustrating it was. I got lost so many times. I distinctly remember losing Queen Amiedala during her escort quest and not being able to find her.
This video was awesome 😂😂😂 Loved the roller coaster of your experience. I actually went back to Simpsons Wrestling and Celebrity Deathmatch recently for a video! They control horribly so I’m surprised they got the license but it made for a great experience for your audience 20 years later
If you want a really old school hard Phantom Menace game you need to play Jedi Power Battles. I remember playing that game for months as a kid just trying to beat the first level. I remember when I was like 9 or 10 had a bunch of friends over for my birthday and we were taking turns playing co-op for hours trying to beat the first level then after we finally beat it, nobody could beat the second level.
Best section of the game is by far Tatooine.
Lol I’ve been very tempted to check this out on the ps store
When I was a kid I used to constantly replay that Tatooine level and slaughter everyone. Yeah, this game was wild.
I remember playing this on the PC as a child. I was so giddy to see it on the PS5 xD
I remember my young mind being blown and frustrated at this game lol
Pretty sure theres a pacifist run but its convoluted and not very obvious, but I came here to swing a lightsaber obviously
Bro rocking that Junes merch😮💨🥶
This game made me rage so hard as a kid. I don’t remember ever getting out of that damn swamp.
Just played this through for the first time on my Steam Deck last week. I also had to Google how to block and eventually I also discovered that you dont have to time your deflections, you can just hold down the attack/block button (square on PS1) and it'll automatically block for you. Of course, like you said areas with several enemies firing at you make it impossible to block all blaster bolts. While it makes sense, it got very frustrating.
Man, I forgot this existed. I LOVED this game as a kid. Thanks for bring back the feels!
Love the Junes shirt! Everydays great at your Junes 😁
Loved this game when i was young. The Tatooine level is goated!!
You're stepping on MY DRESS
I played it back in the day and completed it. Not the best game but ahead of its time with some rpg elements too
This game is special to me cuz it was my first ps1 game I got. With that being said as a little kid I couldn’t get past the swamps of Naboo cuz I didn’t know where to go. And once I got cheat codes I would just skip to the last level to fight darth maul over and over and over again cuz I loved Star Wars so much as a kid lol
This is literally the first video game I ever played as a kid. My dad and I used to play it on PS1 together. Thanks for bringing back memories Matty!
I wanted to let you know that the PC version has very different "cheat" codes, some which are good fun.The 2 most pertinent ones would be:
-Changing the camera perspective to a close 3rd person / over the shoulder
-Changing your character on any mission with whatever weapons/items/ammo/health they've acquired kept (Obi wan with Panaka's ricocheting blaster 😈)
You don't need cheats to beat the game, but you have to beat it in very specific ways. (at least on the PC version.)
There's a few big bosses, the monster in Jabba's place will get stuck when you stand near the slop corner.
The monster in the tattoonie back yard will get stuck when you lead it all the way to the tight alley gate.
there's 2 health packs when fighting maul then you MUST pick up, fight him with the saber and he will move around, that's when you get the health packs.
Some people have also managed to force push him into the pit.
force push gungans too to get pass them.
you can kill 0-% of mos espa and get all the items you need... but if anyone sees you do it, padme and anakin will call you a murderer lol.
I remember playing the demo on pc over and over and be fascinated by the graphics and the gameplay when i was a kid, I still love this game but it's not playable on pc anymore and i wish it was
Thank a bunch for covering this! I know the critiques at the time didn't like it at all, but this is my very first Star War game that I've got to play as a kid and man my 10 years old brain at the time love this thing to death.
I have so many memories of this game, the platform thing where you not only can fall into water but also can get eaten by those giant fishes scared me to death. Anyway I just bronght down a trip to my nostalgia land and just can't stop smiling. You deserve all the upvote in the world for even put up with this and bring us this content.
I still have this game on PS1 and I'm stuck and have been since I was a kid 😆
Love this game so much dude
As a disclaimer, I played through this game twice and I believe there's a way to get through the Gungan City Capital w/o genocide. I recall my 2nd playthrough having no violence or bloodshed at all on that part. Tatooine was a bit of a crapshoot since I always ended up having to fight Jabba's boss creature.
You didn’t talk about tatooine that’s the best part!!
I still remember the ultra-hype for the then-upcoming Episode 1... Though the only games related to it I bothered with was Episode 1 Racer and the Rogue Squadron: Battle for Naboo games... including the super-secret cheat to play as a Naboo starfighter in the original Rogue Squadron game which laid hidden and unknown until Episode 1 was out. Can't pull that kind of surprise off anymore nowadays without dataminers discovering and spoiling it to everybody.
If I remember right, Especially if you have the “extra force power” cheat, if you brute force Darth Maul w/ Force pushes right at the start of the fight, you can finish the fight within a few seconds by pushing him off the edge
I'm shocked that you had nothing to say about the Tatooine level, which was the best level of the game!
This game holds a very special place for me. Now if they would give us ps4/5 Jedi Power Battles with online multiplayer support that would freaking awesome.
i never beat this game as a kid but I have good memories of it.
Originally this game was supposed to be a Third Person game and not Top Down, but LucasArts at the time was developing Dark Forces 2, (which has a Third/First Person perspective) so they wanted Ep:1 to be a different and 'unique' experience from DF2, so they changed the perspective to a top down one so that DF2 and Ep:1 wouldn't be competing with each other
I bought this from KB Toys and as an 8 year old kid I was totally in the RPG. I just got a PSone copy for cheap from a local retro game store recently so I’m excited to put it up on my CRT.
When I was a kid at the end of level 1 I managed to actually clear the jump somehow and it skipped right to the Darth Maul fight. Never able to do it again after that. NO idea how it happened.
Star Wars Jedi Power Battles was always my favorite
I got this game on my ps1 as a kid when it came out, so this is really nostalgic for me. Yeah I was stuck on that Theed level forever! I did actually beat the game without any cheats, but I cheesed the hell out of the Darth Maul fight. Just shot rocket launchers and blasters at him from behind the laser doors where he wouldn’t approach until he died LOL
But I’m shocked you didn’t mention the Tatooine Qui-Gon levels! Those were my favorite with all of the dialogue choices and different paths of and side quests you could do. Or you know attempt to kill everyone and get run down by pig guards
I remember renting this from Blockbuster.....that was not a good weekend 😂. I got Jedi Power Battles for Christmas and played the ish outta that
This was the first game i ever played by myself. I barely remember it, because i only had it for a short bit. I broke a very sentimental statue of my moms, and to teach me a lesson she broke my game in half. Never got to play it again.
The game was made before the movie, and the developers only got small clips and ideas of what to follow. This is why sometimes it seems so bonkers. The parts and cutscenes that are closest to the movie were last minute inclusions after learning about the film in full. The camera angle was included because they were already working on a full 3d and fps Star Wars game. TPM team was told they can't do those perspectives. They were also told they can't do the podrace because Racer was being developed. You can go through this game without too much senseless killing if you use force push. I am suprised you didn't cover the Mos Espa level, arguably the best one in the game. This title is a childhood gem for me and not only my favorite Star Wars game but one of my favorite games of all time. I hope you come back to this in a later review episode. Maybe the PC version as it is graphically superior.
My friends and me would die laughing playing this fever dream over and over and over again for years.
Jedi power battles for ps1 is where it's at
I played this game as a child growing up.. And tatooine.. I am so surprised you didn't show off any of Tatooine. I got addicted to tatooine. The amount of things you can do and people you can talk to is just ridiculous. Exploring the towns there was amazing for my child brain. It was the closest thing to a GTA for child me. You could do so many things and just kill everything if you wanted and the world reacted to your misdeeds. Well, you could try, until thermal detonators were thrown.. To this day: It still frustrates me Thermal Detonators are not as large of an explosion as they are in this game. They were horrifying here!
I remember this game from my teenage years. Sharing it with friends, dont remember the original owner, but we could not get past the mos eisley level until I figured it, told them what to do. Never managed to finish, could not beat Darth Maul
Also, I did not know english at that age, so you can guess how that worked
I was a teenager when this game came out. It was a bad game even in that day in age but it was fun. I had it in PC so it was even harder to play being on a keyboard.
I would love to see you play Jedi Power Battles.
I have a lot of nostalgia for this one, flawed as it is. Played through it recently and still had a pretty good time. I also enjoyed some of the craziness you can get into.
One thing I think stands out, in retrospect, is that I found there were a lot of aspects that I believe Bioware/Obsidian might have taken inspiration from (and built upon) when they made the KOTOR series (levels like Gungan City, Tatooine, and Coruscant, as well as some aspects of the dialogue system).
Wish they had that out of pocket stuff for the episode 3 game
Can you do a video of jedi power battles? Never played phantom menace, but as a kid I played jedi power battles and it destroyed me. Never completed the game and I've been on the lookout to buy that game again in the wild. But I refuse to buy it from ebay.
I'll never forget this game.My best friend got it for his birthday back in the day and ALL WE DID WAS MURDER EVERYONE XD LMAO
Played it as a kid on PS1, can’t remember shit about it other than that I couldn’t beat the first level and it had the most epic duel of fates intro video back when games had a video that played when you let the menu screen go idle
Spot on! Playing this as a kid with no cheats i didn't stand a chance lol
u can also use a blaster too
This game confused me so much when I was a kid. I never knew what to do to keep advancing. I don’t think I ever made it past Gungan city. 😂
I was horrified when I ran into that pink shield 😂
During the golden age of star wars gaming. :)
I played the hell out of this one when it came out for PS. I did actually enjoy it, but the end game always felt stale after the kinda cool start
Thank you trolls for recommending this. Hilarious 😂
Hear me out…….Jedi Power Battles
Loved this game when I was a kid. You should check out Jedi Power Battles.
Is the retro rewind for Phantom Menace up already? I can't find it
“Out of pocket.” That is how Gen Xers feel about the last two trilogies.
You should play Jedi power battles next!
I remember my buddy and I beat Maul with a bazooka haha!
Ok I played the hell out of this game on PS1 the only really bad levels are the escort ones with the Queen and Corusant ones
The tattoine levels are really good
"You better stand back mister because I am about to slash all my prices"
You should try midnight fight express not a retro game but pretty good
This was good but I found Jedi Power Battles much more fun.
This game is the real phantom menace we made along the way
Thought just by looking at it you need to swing your attack in order to block and I've never played it in my life 😅😅
My first ever star wars game
Cool
I had this on Dreamcast 😮💨
I don't know which was harder, this game or jedi power battles
Im looking for parts for a T14 hyperdrive generator...
I never played this one, but I played Jedi Power Battles wich is so much better than this xD
Lol. I spared the gungans
Man I beat this game back in 99.. no sure how I did it lol
Nothing wrong with save scumming
Star wars games being star wars games 😂
Oh yeah...this game was a disappointing rental back in the day. I was super sad returning this to my video store after that weekend. Pleasant times
The thing that's funny is you can just like jump over people and they won't care at all
so is he playing it digitally on ps plus ?
I like the game
This game drove me bonkers as a kid on PC. I had to cheat with it.
I don't care what anybody says this game is impossible without cheat codes.
