Nintendo Life: While it wasn't quite the workhorse that Rare was during the Nintendo 64 era, Factor 5 developed a handful of third-party games that arguably matched Nintendo's own efforts in terms of technical quality. The studio had a knack for getting underneath the hood of the system and exploiting its raw power to create fascinating visual experiences. Its first effort on the N64, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, was a considerable success and praised by critics for its visual prowess. Given how superb the title's visuals were, you'd think it impossible for Factor 5 to top it. Nevertheless, in late 2000 (early 2001 in Europe), Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo — a spiritual successor to Rogue Squadron — was released. Developed in collaboration with LucasArts, the title features some of the best visual and audio work seen in an N64 game.
This article is a review of the action-packed video game, Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo. It discusses the game's graphics, gameplay, sound design, and overall replay value, making it a must-read for fans of the Star Wars franchise and arcade-style games.
Hardly a "review". More like what I expected it to be: a meagre attempt at creating content meant to link you to a Let's Play series for an N64 game. The video game equivalent of reading someone's life story before they tell you how to make sugar cookies.
