Star Wars: Episode I: Battle for Naboo [European]

Synopsis

by T.J. Deci

This text refers to the Nintendo 64 version of this title.Take to the skies above Naboo and protect the planet from the onslaught of a greedy invasion by the domineering Trade Federation. This is the call to arms in Star Wars: Episode I: Battle for Naboo. Though much of the action takes place in a fighter or defense vehicle above the Naboo landscape, story animations and ship selection options take the place in 3D-rendered scenes on the planet's surface as well.

In many regards, Battle for Naboo follows in the footsteps of the classic Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, featuring fast, furious, dog-fights in the planet's atmosphere with an action-oriented, arcade style of game play. The story set in the Episode I timeframe helps this title stand out from its predecessor. Star Wars: Episode One: Battle for Naboo also features large areas for battle, some up to five or six times the size of those found in the Rogue Squadron games.
