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 most of the action takes place in a fighter or defense vehicle high 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 aspects, Battle for Naboo follows in the worthy 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. A storyline set in the Episode I timeframe helps this title to stand out from its predecessor, as well as the larger areas for battle -- some up to five or six times the size of those found in the Rogue Squadron games. ~ T.J.
