Lenovo Star Wars: Jedi Challenges, Smartphone Powered Augmented Reality Experience

If you are considering this product, then I'm sure you are wondering if it's worth the cost. In my opinion the answer is a resounding yes, as Lenovo Star Wars meets and exceeds all of my expectations. I'm a Star Wars fan and a gaming fan, with numerous consoles, PC games and mobile device games in my collection, so I have some perspective. I don't see how any Star Wars fan could resist the opportunity to wield a lightsaber and this system does not disappoint! But it also has more than lightsaber battles alone to keep you entertained; it also includes strategy games such as Dejarik (or Holochess) among many other challenges.The packaging is befitting of high end electronics and can be reused for storage when the game is not in use, though the lightsaber is worthy of keeping out for display. The components are all well made and feel very solid and built to last. Setup was easy for me as the app walks you through the entire process. The app works smoothly on my device and quality of the visuals and audio is very good, though it does drain your battery, so plan accordingly.This is my first experience with the immersive AR style of game, though I have some experience with several full VR games. I discovered quickly that AR doesn't make me feel the "motion sickness" that many people get with full VR so I was able to play as long as I liked with no ill effects physically.Overall I think this is worth the plunge for both Star Wars fans and gamers alike. I hope Lenovo will add additional games to this same platform.

This worked well at first and my son loved it. But I guess the company stopped supporting the app that runs the hardware or something.You get everything set up and ready to go, and the app just starting flashing random lines in the headset. It’s not user error, because we played this a lot. Started happening a few months ago and won’t correct.It seems like the company has stopped supporting the app.I’m running it on an iPhone XR with OS 15.Avoid wasting $200 until Lenovo starts updating their app to fix the issue. Unplayable.

I got this product as a gift for my brother who is a HUGE SW fan. I had read a lot of the tech press on this when deciding what to buy, and everyone said this is the must have SW gift so I figured I'd give it a try. He LOVED it! The first big thing you have to check is that you need a compatible phone. There are not a lot of phones that aren't compatible, but his daughter has an iPod so we checked. Guess this is for Dad only! You get to play three different modes, and there are 3 levels of difficulty on your way to becoming a Jedi Master. I was surprised how much content he really got for this, and your saber even changes color when you beat a certain number of levels. The Holochess game they play in the movies was really cool, Strategic Combat you actually play on the on the ground with all the characters fighting each other, and of course you get to use a lightsaber to fight Darth Vader!!! I am not nearly as big of a fan as my brother, but this thing is cool. I got a workout wielding my saber all around the living room! The app wasn't buggy and didn't crash, which I was also very surprised. The phone did get hot (I have a iPhone) but we played for an hour so that's expected. Great game, great price, highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it !! It has a learning curve on how to set it up and adjust the space around you for optimum experience, I found myself moving a lot in the beginning and pumping into walls or tables, so I recommend to use it and n kind of open safe space first or watching YouTube videos. it’s an amazing AR experience for any Star Wars fan! Being a Jedi is fun and challenging! I loved The physical exercise of it and moving around every challenge.My only complaint is the lack of content update, I mean once you get through all the levels you expect weekly challenges or updates to challenge the Jedi you’ve become but that’s not there and it’s disappointing.

The AR, graphics, game play is incredible! I love this thing, problem is, the headset is so incredibly heavy that it physically weighs down my head/neck and makes it too sufferable to play for any duration of time. I am in my 30s, I have a PlayStation VR, zero problems. This is really uncomfortable and would definitely not recommend for children cause of the weight :(

Good game from the App Store, the lightsaber is made well, headset is extremely heavy and starts to hurt face after about five minutes and I’m using a small I phone 7. Leaves indents on face from weight.

Looks neat. But not playable. Scam devices that doesn't work. List of compatible devices is falsely advertised. Website provided errors out. No longer supporting device. Technical support explains there is no way to fix

Bought this as a self Bday present when the price went down to $99 and man was it ever money well spent.As a life long Star Wars fan I can imagine there being a better Star Wars based game this. Its not VR is Augmented Reality which really just means in layman's terms everything looks life size set over the room your are in its not like VR where you just are looking at the screen blocked off from everything else. You want to battle Kylo Ren in the snow on starkiller base ? Turn it on outside in the snow this winter and have at it you see your surroundings wherever you are when you are playing. now me personally I turn out the lights in the house makes it seem so much more intense but I can only imagine playing this out side vs Kylo in the snow or VS Darth Maul in a forest. The holo chess game is surprising fun as can really have to learn the game from scratch and its not simple either :-) the ground battles can be tricky but fun as well. But yes everyone gets this for the light saber battles right ? its worth the $99 for just the light saber battles anyway everything else is just a bonus. PS ... there will be an update later this year where you can fight as a Sith and take on Jedi's OHHHHHHH I cant wait :-) so if your on the fence BUY IT will be the best $99 you spent on Star Wars ever hands down :-) oh and ladies ..... There's Porgs in this thing too PET PORGS ;-)
