    There are some things that are a bit rough around the edges, like the lip synching and the bland terrain, but the game succeeds where it counts the most and effectively negates the problem areas of the game when you are in the heat of battle.

    The saber play is great fun, particularly in multiplayer, and the variety in the single-player game keeps it entertaining as well. Next time we'll hope for a new graphics engine, but for now, the Force is definitely with the Academy.

    Despite the graphical flaws, poor mission design, and lack of a compelling story I still have to admit I had "fun" playing this game, actually more fun than I did on the PC.

    I just wish George would stop flooding us with mediocrity and take a break from new releases to give us a helping of something special.

    This game is awesome! I have Jedi Outcast 2 and this is at a whole new level! This is by far the best starwars game that I have ever played. This game has non-stop action. The feature that lets you custmise about everything about your character is AWESOME!! (Everyone who is a real star wars fan should agree with me!)… Expand

    Thoroughly enjoyable. I've read several reviews panning the graphic and, while they are not up to current Xbox standards, they are definately not poor. Gameplay is a little tricky at first (only the lightsaber moves really), but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. The story (so far as I have played) seems to be a little weak and somewhat slow, but definately entertaining enough to keep you in for the ride. Worth my money in every way so far; something I cannot say about the most recent crop of games to come out.… Expand

    The Lightsaber action in this game is awesome. Combined with a great multiplayer mode, I would recommend this game to anyone. However there needs to be improvements in the boring story line and poor graphics. … Expand
