  1. I enjoyed every minute I was playing Episode III, even when I was dying at the light saber battle with General Grevious or Mace Windu for the 17th time.
  2. 73
    It's a shame that the rough edges weren't smoothed out, but I expected there to be far more problems than there are. The few issues here aren't game-killing.
  3. There are plenty of problems (collision detection, button mashing gameplay, few openings in boss battles and when they're there you can only do 3 strikes) that far outweigh the good (the simple concept of the boss battles is pure Star Wars fandom heaven) for this game to stand up to better action games out there.
  4. The only reason I could find for a person to finish this game would be if it was their first exposure to the Revenge of the Sith story.

    This game is completely linear and sucks in execution. The voiceovers are horrible, and graphics are mediocre. The gameplay doesn't suck as much. Here's the breakdown: Graphics: 30 It doesn't use the power of the X-BOX but the character models are detailed. Sound: 50 The voiceovers are horrible but some force powers and lightsaber effects are forgiveable. Gameplay: 60 In some areas it's completely broken though it's mostly responsive. Longevity: 40 Even with the versus mode and co-op implemented, it'll quickly get boring but the lightsaber fights are worth the rental. Overall (not an average): 40 Come on, all of you Star Wars fans deserve better than this crap. It satisfies in some areas like unlocking Darth Vader. Don't buy it, rent it if you feel curious.
