Jar Jar's Journey is the second title to be released by LucasLearning designed specifically for preschoolers. It follows this past summer's release of Yoda's Challenge. Jar Jar's Journey is an interactive adventure book with a variety of games included. The story ends with the team's departure from Tatooine following young Anakin's victory in the Pod Race. Each page features narration and illustrations filled with hot spots, from the perspectives of the major characters.
Players wishing to jump to their favorite passages can click on the pages they want.
The story can also be played in a non-interactive fashion, for youngsters who may not be comfortable wielding the mouse. It's a fairly simple two-dimensional maze, and players use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate the sub. After a couple of trips through the maze, the challenge is increased as players need to locate bubbles hidden within the maze which, when popped, open the gate to Theed. Three difficulty settings help keep up the challenge. R2-D2's Flashing Lights will be immediately familiar to anyone who's played Simon or similar memory games.
