Pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this was...
I was smitten, yes smitten, with New Droid Army in all of its 5 hour glory; it was a decent game and well worth the price of admission unlike its film namesake. Music and sound effects follow suit as with other Star Wars titles and the plot is simple but sweet and relevant to the films. The game is for the most part on the easy side with the exception of some end bosses that seem to be piled one right after another but overall aren’t that bad; the final boss being easier than many of its predecessors.
Anakin begins the game with a few simple Jedi powers and as you work your way through levels he earns a few more useful ones along the way. I found these to be a little limited, there could have been more available, but nevertheless, all were utilized at some point during the game. The Hide power makes Anakin invisible to enemies and allows you to, on at least two occasions that I noted, completely avoid battling any droids through a few levels. I found this, Meditation and Push to be the most useful powers in the game. Push is seen in the films, where when approached by several enemies at a time a Jedi can “push” them away with his mind and the Meditation power allows Anakin to heal and restore Force Energy at a faster rate; which is nothing but helpful.
Overall I was not expecting much from New Droid Army so was pleasantly surprised with my level of enjoyment while playing it. I was very happy with my purchase decision and the fact it cost less than the price of a movie ticket. If rentable, rent it, if not, find it used or in a bargain bin and you’ll be happy you did.
