| | LucasArts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | LucasArts' focus on three dimensional action games was detrimental to their line of adventures. | | | However, since then LucasArts have continued to prioritise action games over traditional adventure games, a consistent position that led to a sequel to Sam'n'Max Hit The Road being aborted in 2004 despite rumours that it was 85% complete. | | | In May 2005, LucasArts released Revenge of the Sith, a third person action game based on the film. |

| | LucasArts adventure games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Their game design philosophy was that the player should never die or reach a complete dead-end, although there have been exceptions to the former (such as both Indiana Jones games). | | | Another feature, used in several of the games, was to allow the player to control more than one character, often being able to switch between them at will. | | | Before concentrating almost exclusively on Star Wars titles, LucasArts was known for their point-and-click adventure games, nearly all of which received high scoring reviews at the time of their release. |

| | It appeared to be the only game other than Galaxies that LucasArts was demonstrating on a PC, and the demonstrator continuously moved from standing aside the monitor holding a joystick, to in front of the monitor to use the keyboard. | | | I jockeyed for a good vantage point, but it seemed he and the two other people in his audience were caught in the game's minutia, such as the variety of hilts available when creating your custom light saber. | | | I took the time out of my E3 schedule to visit LucasArts not just to see another half-dozen Star Wars games, but because that was the least of their wares this year. |

| | Game Chronicles - Company Profile |
| | Today, LucasArts continues to advance the art of game design, while still adhering to its original design philosophy: to create games that inspire, challenge and engage players. | | | While the characters, settings and styles of games in the company's portfolio may be diverse, every game shares an attention to detail that has become the hallmark of LucasArts. | | | In turn, players feel like they are not only playing a game, but actually living the life of the game's hero — experiencing the character's triumphs, tragedies, and even moments of levity as can only be portrayed by the talented designers at LucasArts. |

| | As of April 2002, LucasArts had produced three titles for the Dreamcast, four for the X-Box, five for the Nintendo 64, two for the Game Cube, six for the Playstation, five for the Playstation 2, and over twenty-five personal computer titles, with dozens more games in various stages of development (www.lucasarts.com). | | | Today, LucasArts continues to be one of the most dominant forces in the video game industry. | | | Lucas felt that games could be far improved with the incorporation of better storytelling, so in 1982 Lucas founded the LucasArts Entertainment Company, with the goal of increasing the depth and interactivity of the video game world (www.lucasarts.com). |
