‘Star Wars: Jedi Challenges’ hands-on preview

Lenovo's Mirage AR headset lets you be a Jedi in ‘Star Wars: Jedi Challenges'

Fun, interactive gameplay ; Prototype headset was comfortable ; See-through display lets you stay in the real world

Controller connection a little finicky ; Three game modes may get old fast

The first AR helmet to make you feel like the last Jedi

Yes, there's a way to use a lightsaber and play Holochess at home. It just requires a phone and $200.

The self-contained headset is wireless and generates some decent holographic effects. Will run on even some older iPhones and Android phones. A good handful of challenges and game modes. Comes with its own lightsaber hilt.

Doesn't always track your movements or the lightsaber very well. Lightsaber sometimes drops up out of sync. Requires a phone. Inserting and setting up the phone isn't easy or quick. Who knows if this will ever run other games?

Lenovo's AR helmet for phones feels like a clever mini-HoloLens for Star Wars fans, but as a standalone headset with no other software, it's a tough sell.

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is an AR game that features fun and fast-paced lightsaber battles, strategic combat, and tense rounds of Holochess, but tracking issues occasionally get in the way of gameplay.

Fun gameplay. Massive appeal for Star Wars fans. Cool, high-quality lightsaber controller. Compatible with Android and iOS phones.

Tracking issues in testing. Narrow field of view.

Bottom Line: Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is an AR game that features fun and fast-paced lightsaber battles, strategic combat, and tense rounds of Holochess, but tracking issues occasionally get in the way of gameplay.

Immersive and Unique Star Wars Entertainment ; No wires ; Works in relatively small spaces

Approximative tracking ; Requires a compatible phone, gets hot ; One-time setup is a bit tedious ; One series of games only

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY OTHER COMPARABLE FORM

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges Review: The AR Force is strong

Is there a science-fiction franchise more ripe for an augmented reality game than Star Wars ? Disney and Lenovo don't think so, hence Star Wars : Jedi Challenges, a new gaming system that promises lightsaber battles, Holochess, and more in your own...

Finally, a "real" lightsaber ; Affordable, with great build-quality ; AR graphics flatter the Star Wars universe

Single-player only (for now) ; AR lightsaber blade can drift ; Currently limited to one Star Wars app only

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges Review - It’s Lightsaber Bliss

If left to my own devices, I could play Star Wars Jedi Challenges for hours. When all the conditions are right, the app offers some truly fun experiences, the best of which comes from the lightsaber battle — which, by the way, holy crap, I have a...

Easy setup ; Free app with fun, compelling games ; Comes with a lightsaber ; Works with 15 (and counting) popular phones

Needs specific room conditions to work ; Tracking can be a bit spotty

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges offers hours of fun with a lightsaber replica and smartphone-powered AR headset, though the tracking could be better.

All in all, we did thoroughly enjoy this headset. It's ton of fun, with new content released as subsequent movies come out. If you don't mind paying a little extra for and having a much more limited library of available content, then it's a great...
