The story arc of the game loosely takes place in conjunction with the movie during a few overlapping levels. For the most part it's an original, if not basic story that unravels in animated cut scenes before, during and after each level. The game consists of 15 levels. About half of them are aerial with the rest on the ground or in the water. Along the way you get the chance to save hostages, but it's a blast first and skip the questions later approach.
Several crafts are available depending on the terrain in each level.
These include a land speeder, gain speeder, heavy stap, Trade Federation gunboat, Naboo starfighter, Naboo police cruiser and Naboo bomber. A few levels require you to use more than one to complete it. The cream of the crop is the starfighter. Using it to zip through aerial missions in the varied terrain is a real treat. In my opinion, the best levels are definitely the land-based ones.
