It does take a bit getting used to the odd, overhead view (but that can be changed with a cheat). The beginning levels are fairly easy, and allow you to get used to moving your character around. This walkthru is for the PC version of the game. As of this writing, the PSX version has not been released and it is not known if it will vary from the PC version. However, since the official strategy guide says it covers both the PC and PSX versions, I don't think they will differ. Everything necessary to complete the game is included here. The strategies one can use to fight boss monsters, kill battle droids, and complete other actions are endless. The method in which you fight your battles will vary slightly because of who you've talked to, what you talked about, how you've moved into enemy territory, what weapons you have left, or any number of variables. Everyone will have to complete certain common actions to get through a level. But the AI of enemies means that the battleground may be slightly different. Please remember that the strategies given in this walkthru are rough guides as to what you can do. From there, you can develop your own. I have tried to be as accurate as possible in writing this walkthru. However, if I have inadvertently made an error, please let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tips ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are several skills you will have to learn to become good at. You need to learn the running double jump (run, jump, and jump again in mid-air). This skill is vital to getting onto overhead vines and ropes, and jumping onto platforms and pillars. You can't get through the game without learning this skill. Practice it whenever you get the chance. You will also need to become good with your saber. There are times when regular weapons won't do. Learn the overhead saber move, the twirling saber move, and the jump and slash technique. Read your manual for more information. You can also reflect enemy blaster shots off your saber and back toward them. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan move slightly differently with their saber moves. Obi-Wan, being the younger of the two, has more athletic flair. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Character Moves ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are some special character moves. When you TAP, you are very quickly tapping the key. When you PRESS a key, this is describing how you would normally press a key on the keyboard. When you HOLD a key, you are continuously holding down the key and not releasing it. The Jumping spin attack and twirling saber combo are pretty fun. When you are trapped in a corner and being gangbanged by a group of droids (they are surrounding you) the Circle Jerk move is pretty effective. It's a slash and spin move similar to the twirling saber combo, except you are stationary. Here are some character moves that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon can use: Normal slash
