Star Wars Jedi Alliance DS

http://ds.ign.com/articles/937/937477p1.html

IGN score: 8/10

The first game from new development subsidiary LucasArts Singapore (housed within Lucasfilm Animation Singapore) is one of the most ambitious and impressive action titles to hit Nintendo's portable all year. With simple, but fun stylus-based controls and amazing production values by DS standards, Jedi Alliance is an entertaining experience through and through and comes highly recommended to fans of the Clone Wars license. That said, any handheld owner looking for a well-made diversion will find a quality selection waiting with this stand-out effort.

The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance is a very well made action game for Nintendo's handheld -- not just for Star Wars fans, but for anybody after a quality portable title.

I have seldom awarded a game a higher overall score than it earned in the 'gameplay' category, but Jedi Alliance is one rare example whose production values actually counterbalance some of the gameplay shortcomings.

Finally, a game actually better than the movie?:P

Anyway, looks good. Some screens:

Hmmm...not bad. Looks cool!

it was a good game with excellent graphics and a pretty good story however the conrols (almost exclusively the stylus) kinda sucked after a while the boss battles were dissapointing save for the end boss, also the game is SOOOOOO short (only 9 levels) though it will hopefully get a sequel, overall i liked it but felt a little cheated by it.

7.5/10

Had this game once. Played it, thought it was fun, but ended up selling it in the end. Now I regret giving it away and plan on getting back around Christmas. Think I was midway through the game at the time. Combat was simple yet fun, graphics were very impressive for the system and the sound was just as good. I look forward to playing it again.

Outside of what the Samurai Jack creator did with animating SW, I've been roundly dissappointed by everything out of Lucas and Co. since "Empire Strikes Back". This came looks to continue that insippid TV show and unforgivable animated theatrical release... bleh.

A 6.

This game is susprisingly decent. It has outstanding production values and some interesting mini-games going for it, but ultimately its action is a little sub-par. But this is easily the best voice acting on DS. Worth checking out IMO, even if it's no Ninja Gaiden.

C'mon... I think that honor goes to "Resident Evil: Deadly Silence".:lol:

I'm on a real WWII jag again after years of avoiding the genre, and even I think I'll pass on BiA for the DS... if you want a somewhat decent take on WWII for your DS get "Call of Duty: World at War"... it'll keep you busy on normal setting, that's for sure!
