Game Revolution - PC review by Shawn Sparks, C+. "But even with its shortcomings, Battle for Naboo is pretty fun."
Game Tour - Nintendo 64 review by Chris Shade. "I wish that I could say that if you liked Rouge Squadron then you will love Battle for Naboo, but I can?t guarantee that."
GamesFirst - PC review by Van Davis, 2/5. "Battle for Naboo is just another mediocre game that tries to ride on the coat tails of the Star Wars franchise."
GameSpy - PC review by Debra McBride and David Cassady, 76%. "It feels a little dated, but Battle for Naboo is still a fun Star Wars shoot-em-up."

GameZone - 7.5/10 Review of PC version with screen shots. "Frantic arcade style that's both fun to play, yet frustrating to control at times." (March 30, 2001)
The Electric Playground - Nintendo 64 review by Jules Grant, 75%. "The culmination of Factor 5's Star Wars development experience, diminished only by the aging of the Nintendo 64 and slight tarnish on the Star Wars franchise. Good gaming." (March 28, 2001)
GameSpot - Review by Giancarlo Varanini, 64%. "The game's biggest problem is its length. Not only can you complete Battle for Naboo in a few hours, but there's nothing to draw you back in after you've done so." (March 12, 2001)
