Wow! The awesome graphics but a short campaign. Intense hardcore fps but the multiplayer falls off a cliff. Read more...

Gameplay: Well this is a first person shooter and the goal is to shoot as much badies as possible (geonosians, droids, mercs). That part is well depicted, run around and gun, throw a nade into a bunch of enemies, run to a "boss" and melee him... Some people might think though that this is more of a strategy shooter since you lead a squad. The game takes the good aspects of both types of games and combines it into a great campaign ( if you want to ignore your squad just put them in search and destroy mode and they won't bother you much). I also liked the visor, reminds you of Metroid Prime. If you melee guys close enough, their blood is going to splatter all over your visor. Now comes the multiplayer, the games left heel. There is only 8 maps and 4 game types. Also you can only play 9 players unless you run a dedicated server in which you cannot play. Finnaly for all team games (3 of the 4) you're divided into two groups: trandoshan and commando. Everyone wants the commando team because of their elite-weapons and gives them a great advantage. If you're looking for a great singleplayer this is one of them! Graphics: The graphics look really nice and detailed, better than Halo's Sounds: The dying animations and sounds are great and funny. You hear the footsteps and the ricochet of some type of ammo. The Star Wars music is there along with this intense new one in though spots. Value: If you want a good multiplayer, wait till the price drops to 30 bucks. If you want a good singleplayer either rent it, it will take 8hours to beat or buy it and beat it level hard more of like 15 hours. Tilt: I enjoyed playing this singleplayer but once completed I went back to Halo 2 multiplayer.
