Easy to install, run and navigate. Graphics and sound are excellent, just like the motion picture. Some sections include onscreen text, but overall audio is necessary to understand and enjoy Star Wars Episode I: Insider's Guide.

Report and Conclusions:

Star Wars Episode I: Insider's Guide scored BIG at our house, arriving the first day of spring break just as my daughter was bemoaning the lack of interesting things to do. As soon the mail was opened, she pounced on the CD, ran to her computer and spent the rest of the day exploring and making gleeful comments about how jealous her classmates were going to be.

This title covers every aspect of the concept, background and making of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. People, places, things, glossary, trivia questions -- you name it and it's here somewhere. There is even a rotating Queen Amidala modeling every costume she wore in the movie. Cool.

A must for Star Wars fans.
