Xbox Exclusive - Review by Pete Calderwood, 84%. "If you can get over the poor visuals, Obi Wan could be your new all-time favorite Star Wars game, due to its fantastic gameplay."
Planet Xbox - Review by Tom Chick, 63%. "Obi-Wan might have been a good game on the last generation of consoles, but it's too confused, rough hewn, and repetitive to stand up against Xbox games like Halo or even Azurik."
IGN - Review by Aaron Boulding, 59%. "We're pretty sure wielding a lightsaber should be more fun than this."
GameZone - Review by Michael Lafferty, 88%. "While this program might not be as intense as Halo, it will be a definite delight for Star Wars fans, and should even satisfy those who are RPG fans."
The Laser - Review by Michael Palisano. "Obi-Wan is a close-call but misses the mark, with too many flaws that detract from the overall experience so it missed the opportunity it had to be a great game."
The Entertainment Depot - Review by Ryan Newman, 5/10. "If this had been any other game without the benefits of the Force and light saber parrying combat, it would have been panned to high hell."
GameSpot - Review by Miguel Lopez, 46%. "Something bad clearly happened when Obi-Wan was turned into an Xbox game. It doesn't run very well on the platform, and its rather decently designed control mechanics don't save it."
TechTV - Review by Andrew S. Bub, 3/5. "The combat is an achievement ... It's a pity the Force isn't nearly as strong with the rest of this game."
Game Industry News - Reviewed by Chris Richards, score: 3 out of 5.
Game Revolution - Review by G-Wok, C+. "Bashing bad guys with Force powers and swinging that saber is plenty cool. But the evil control, level design and graphics from the Dark Side can turn a good jedi like Obi Wan bad."
GameSpy - [63/100] Review by Tom Chick. "What should have been a sure-fire hit...turns out to be a major disappointment."
