I liked the soundtrack music; my son ignored it. The graphics are clear and colorful and the controls are easy to understand. My nine-year-old's review of the demo as he hopped into bed was that the game was OK. My son hit the nail on the head: Lucas Learning's Gungan Frontier is an interesting ecological simulation--in the same class with many of Maxis' products--that is being marketed to ride the wave of interest in the Star Wars series.
The underlying principle of the simulation, managing an ecosystem, is clear enough that even third or fourth graders should enjoy this game. The missions included in the full version sound like they would challenge older game players, too. It's not the best computer game I've ever seen, but Gungan Frontier has a nice combination of problem-solving and "sci-fi appeal" without any shooting, shouting, or fighting. The full game should be available for Windows and Macintosh systems on May 24, , while the frenzy for tickets for Star Wars is still in a frenzy.

The toughest part of this game is trying to acquaint yourself with the various foreign plants and animals while also figuring out how much of which one to put where, doing so as you monitor the activity on the moon. Take too much time peeking at the information in the Kresch an encyclopedia full of information about all the animals and plants and you could find your ecosystem in trouble within minutes!
It's a smart idea to put the game on the slowest speed or use the pause feature liberally until you figure out what eats what. Your job is to set up a thriving ecosystem on a barren moon orbiting Naboo, which is getting too crowded in the Gungans' underwater cities. Not only are plenty of animals from The Phantom Menace on hand, but you also get to choose from Dewbacks and Rancors in the more advanced games in the easiest mode the plants and animals are chosen for you before you leave.
You have to monitor not only the surface, but the Gungan cities as well. Trying to balance the ecosystem isn't easy, and just when you have it nailed along comes a toxic gas cloud or moonquake to make a mess of everything. The graphics are actually substandard. For example, in the opening scene Boss Nass is animated nicely as he tells you what you need to do, but Obi-Wan and the Queen just stand there. How about some dialogue or movement from them?
