    Very close to the Lord of the rings game in terms of the infrastructure. The good news, you are playing the movie. The bad news, it's a spoiler - there will be no surprises by the time you get to the theater. Graphics, game play, action and overall coolness get A+'s.

    I am giving this game a 10 for two main reasons. 1) if you ever want to know what its like to be a jedi and fight with a lightsaber, this is the game. 2) The game is realatively short (about 8 hours) however, it is one of the most replayable games I have ever played. You can actually unlock a battle arena where you play as Yoda!! I can't see where IGN is coming from?!? I sounds good and looks good. The combos are difficult to perform, but that is what makes the game fun and challenging. I recommend it to anybody who like Star Wars. Finally Lucas Arts gets it right.… Expand

    i don't know what the IGN guy is smoking but he obviously isn't qualified to review games. Only the mentally impaired or Treki Fanatics would pass up this game. ROTS is loads of fun with incredible graphics and sound. A definite must buy.

    This was a really cool game for the genre of action adventure although not as good as god of war in the graphics dept the fighting is almost of the same caliber. the reason i gave it a nine is because the graphics arent as good as could be but they are very good. Ps. fps master maybe you should go outside and do something cause it sounds like your a little to wrapped up in the whole video game world.… Collapse

    This game is awesome! It is the Ultimate Jedi ACTION experience with an emphasis on the ACTION! I recommend to anyone that loves a good action game or LOTR gaems. Kudos Collective/LEC!

    This is a great Star Wars action game, with an emphasis on the ACTION. It's got great visuals, tight controls and is a lot of fun. So much fun that you want to play and play and play and that's kind of a problem, because it's short. If you only care about the single player, it's about 4-5 hours. I suggest playing on HARD mode, which is just about right. There's a ton of other stuff other than the single player game, so I think it's worth the $, especially the 2-player duels. It's like SW Soul Calibur! Highly recommended!… Expand

    I love star wars, and I have seen pathectic star wars games, but this is the best with KOTOR. Graphics are fabulous, and the game has captured the movie perfectly, like the duel on Mustafar. Lovely set of como's, but very difficult to pull off, the way you have to press the buttons is difficult, but worth it. Excellent multiplayer, especially when you can play as Darth Vader. Motion capture really makes it stand out in the lightsaber field compared to the likes of KOTOR and Jedi Knight, and it can easily be seen, which makes it feel much more real. Sound is great to. My only bad point is, the voice actor for Anakin sounds wierd when he says stuff like "your power is nothing compared to the dark side". Beware there are preview clips of the movie before and after each misson, so some things will be given away. Small bit to short, but some bits arent easy. IGN is wierd. Overall, superb. Get this game, I think it could appeal to anyone. This really is the ultimate jedi action experience.… Expand

    This game was excellent in that you are able to defeat characters from the movies that seem unbeatable. It is extremely addictive and really gives you a sence of being a Jedi searching for power, or trying to save the Republic. The multiplayer version is also the best of any game I have ever seen. Being able to fight as Count Dooku, Yoda, Anikan, Darth Vader, mace Windu, and many others is a real treat that makes this game outstanding. This is the best Lightsaber action video game I have ever seen.… Expand

    The only reason why they gave this such a low rating is that because they probably don't have the skills, tactics or brains to see any good in this great game. IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE NOOBS AT HACK & SLASH GAMES. And it doesn't take 17 tries to beat Windu or Grievous. You just have to know their weakness and use force saber strikes- to do this just hold onto your last combo move button longer, and it will be undodgeable if they do nothing except block) To beat Windu, simply try to get into a position where he is running and do nothing. He will still be running into nowhere and it will give you time to heal and regenerate force points, while he doesn't and keep running around. And when he does a mind trick, he will circle you doing nothing.) And to beat Grievous, just simply select your last move in a combo as Y- Obi-Wan will do a kick or perform the universal launcher (sending them into the air on impact). (By the way, im 13) It is probably the second best Star Wars game i have (after Knights of the Old Republic) I'm pretty surprised at the people who gave low ratings for this game. And yes, the Battle Droids are easy to beat, but they're DROIDS! They hardly have any large platings on them to give them more protection, so what do you expect? The only points that need improvement for me is that when they jump it should be more loose and free.… Expand

    Much better than anybody seems to say. I have really enjoyed it and felt like I was really in the movie! The replay of the last mission that unlocks Darth Vader is extremely tough but very satisfying when you finally get it. This game is what Jedi Power Battles, Obi-Wan, and Masters of Teras Kasi should have been!

    This game is so awesome! I mean all the stuuff from fighting the Droids all the way to the ultimate confrontation with Anakin and Obi-Wan. You unlock Bonus missions and you can increase your skills along the way. this game is great and people watching and reading this comment don't listen to the people who gave it 2 and 3's cause they don't know how to rate games!

    Absolutely loved every minute of this game. While short, there are many moves and techniques that are fun to try upon repeating levels. An absolute must.

    The gameplay is fun and it is entertaining, It was fun to play through the movie and go through all these battles. I also loved how they added the extra mission where it was Anakin who beat Obi Wan, That was great. I really enjoyed the game and played it countless times. The difficulty was a bit uneven though making it a bit too tough at times but overall it was great.

    Never before has the Jedi experience been this visceral and accessible at the same time, and Revenge of the Sith has something for hardcore fans and curious onlookers alike. The Force is strong with this one.

    Smooth animation, a fantastic soundtrack and plenty of variety in the use of combat and force powers make this a game that's engaging and fun to play through.
