Another movie game spoon-fed to die-hard Star Wars fans. Kinda fun to play single, but its the multi-player that shines.
Play as Obi-Wan and Anakin in the final battles of the clone wars.
The controls are pretty good, but so much more could have been done to it. The Graphics are fine, and the story mode while short, has great boss battles.
Good:
Graphics
bosses
clever levels make up for shortness
Bad:
repeditive controls
annoying camera angles
sometimes a glitch
The overall verdict for single player is a 6.3 (same as the gamespot reviewer) , but what brings the game up to a 7 is the multi-player
Multi-player:
I truely great experience, best shared with other players.
Fighting your friends with the major star wars characters you can unlock is so enjoyable, they could have made it into a game of itself (but then it would have been dull without the single player, they work together to make this game good).
Same controls, different people. You can either press the attack until you get some hits through, use your special abilities (usualy force powers) or be on the defence (and sneak in the attacks in between combos) Of course you can do some co-op things, but they are kinda boring.
Good:
lots of different characters to choose from
overall fun controls when against another person
Bad:
Once someone starts to really attack you, you are powerless to the attacks for a long time.
Sometimes a glitch
could have had a more smooth and less repeditive combat system
Ok I sound like I have been showering this game with praise, and the reason is it is a "good" game for because it is quite fun overall. But it is missing so much and could have had so much more... It is a star wars game afterall, it seems almost as though they make a game, slap a title on it and expect us to take it. This is a movie game, it is good, but unfourtunately like a lot of movie games it lacks - almost always- what makes the Star Wars franchise, (including other non-movie games) special.
