Summary
Combine the elite weaponry and acrobatic skills of Rianna with the multifunctional defensive and slicing support of Zeeo to create a formidable team. Only by working together can you complete perilous missions and ultimately steal the plans for the Death Star. From the chaotic planet of Coruscant to the dusty, dangerous alleys of Mos Eisley, Rianna and Zeeo must use an arsenal of tricks to complete their mission. Set up holographic disguises to fool Imperial guards, commandeer gun turrets, master death-defying flying escapes and battle carnivorous beasts. First original Star Wars game built exclusively for handhelds: Multiplayer modes enhance collaborative gameplay while taking advantage of the unique capabilities of both the PSP system and Nintendo DS. Your mission takes you to classic destinations such as the Death Star and Tatooine, and allows you to discover never-before-seen locations on Despayre, Danuta and Alderaan. Each new environment offers encounters with unforgettable Star Wars characters and species, including Boba Fett, Kyle Katarn, Princess Leia Organa, Darth Vader, Imperial officers, Rodians, Quarren and stormtroopers. [Ubisoft]

Play Magazine
Rianna's a refreshing refrain from the traditional light-saber-wielding goon. [Mar 2007, p.66]
Game Chronicles
Taken as a whole, Lethal Alliance lacks that variety required to keep a game engaging from start to finish.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
The shooting elements are uninspired, but Lethal Alliance features enough variety to please action and Star Wars fans alike.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
It's decent enough, but it's sloppy and a general lack of excitement hurt it. [Jan 2007, p.76]
PALGN
A decent, variable and exciting action game and fans of Star Wars have a game that won’t leave them cringing.
Read Full Review >GameZone
There’s a lot of variety to the levels and the teamwork aspect is pretty good but ultimately this is a portable action game that could have a lot better.
Read Full Review >Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
An original and entertaining addition to the Star Wars canon with great new characters and some cracking action. [Christmas 2006, p.86]
PSW Magazine UK
Fans will love this, but most will be better off with "Star Wars: Battlefront II."
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
While this game takes place between the last and the very first Star Wars episode, I was expecting a bit more revelation in the storyline, instead it only reinforces what we already know.
Read Full Review >IGN
In short, it looks good, runs well and only suffers from a few glitches here and there.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
The graphics are by far the best part of the game, but the new stylish camera techniques and gameplay ideas will interest Star Wars fans who don't mind some artistic experimentation with the series. All in all, Lethal Alliance is a good, if unremarkable, outing on the floundering system.
Read Full Review >Play UK
It's just too much of a chore and with the Star Wars link tenuous at best, it'd be better if you left this on a shelf far, far away. [Issue 148, p.90]
Game Informer
There’s certainly a lot to love, yet equally as much to shake your fist and scream obscenities at in Lethal Alliance.
Read Full Review >PSM Magazine
It's rough around the edges, but it's still pretty fun overall. [Feb. 2007, p.84]
Digital Entertainment News
Somewhat engaging. Numerous shortcomings prevent it from being widely recommendable, but for a quick action fix Star Wars: Lethal Alliance will get the job done.
Read Full Review >GamePro
There are much better action games out on the PSP than this one, so pass it by unless you're obsessed with Star Wars.
Read Full Review >Total Video Games
Like a number of Star Wars titles in the past, Lethal Alliance tries to introduce a new facet to the already rich sci-fi mythology, but ultimately fails in its execution. Instead, the gameplay quickly boils down to a repetitive experience, with bland environments playing host to a seemingly endless number of bland shoot out.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
Not the best Star Wars game in the canon – weak mission design and targeting issues hold it back – but it's still a fun distraction for series aficionados and PSP action adventure fans alike.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
Star Wars: Lethal Alliance does little to differentiate itself from the herd of third-person action games on PlayStation Portable. The Star Wars inclusion is too subtle to be considered a benefit and the action is ho-hum.
Read Full Review >Deeko
An exercise in mediocrity. The visual and aural presentation is great, but the single player game is riddled with moments of sheer tedium and you'll soon find yourself in situations you've seen over and over again. It's beyond repetitive and lacks any real fun factor.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
The very definition of mediocre. The storyline isn't integral enough to the gameplay experience to really snag fans, and the gameplay won't do much for anyone else.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
Lethal Alliance feels outdated, thanks to boring missions and a lame two-player Ad Hoc battle mode. Furthermore, the haphazard targeting system and ghosting certainly don't help matters.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
A pretty game set in a compulsive universe which is sneakily derivative and, at its heart, stale, repetitive, average and lacking in any meaningful creativity.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
Lethal Alliance is not a total dud and, if you can forgive its repetitive nature, there is a fair amount of entertainment to be had when played in short bursts, but fans still deserve much more than that from a Star Wars game.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club)
The security mini-games are inscrutable, due to poor instructions and confusing interfaces.
Read Full Review >Pure Magazine UK
A rather dull plod that feels like you are being led through the whole thing rather than playing it. [Jan 2007, p.67]
Gaming Age
Fans of the series will no doubt enjoy the added bit of mythology that fills in some of the gaps between Episodes III and IV, and even general action fans should get a bit of enjoyment out of Lethal Alliance.
Read Full Review >Electronic Gaming Monthly
Even with my "I dig all things Star Wars" glasses on, I still realize this is an average-at-best game. [Feb. 2007, p.99]
PSM3 Magazine UK
Tedious gameplay with stitched-on flying bits? You've got yourself another drab Star Wars adventure. Rubbish. [Jan 2007, p.68]
games(TM)
This is gaming for the masses; completely undemanding and uninspired, but solid enough to appease the cerebrally challenged. [Jan 2007, p.116]
Sydney Morning Herald
Hand-held technology may be perfectly capable but this game has little of the humour, adventure and excitement you would expect from that galaxy far, far away.

Aaron P. gave it a2:
This game has linear level designs and has a twitchy camera. The game is drab and boring. The worst part is the shortness of the game.
Krazy K. gave it a10:
Star Wars: Lethal alliance is a great game for TRUE Star Wars fans. If your just a gamer that came to criticize this game than you came to the wrong place. The game itself is very well put together compared to ubisofts King Kong which was a waste of time. True potential can be seen in the collaboration of these two companies. The game play is superb and the story satisfying. Works well to peek your interest in the line of George Lucas' future star wars live action television series airing somtime next year. Which takes place between Episodes III and IV. Maybe we might see this character and her droid in it too. But one can only dream. But all in all this game is great
Tori B. gave it a9:
First time I've played a third-person adventure/shooter on the PSP that I found it easy to control and fun to pay. If you liked the SW: Jedi Knight series, this is very much in the same vein. The story is fun, the game feels right (like it was not forced in to the PSP control scheme), and is quite addictive; take note, it's a much nicer control scheme than the SW: Battlegrounds II game (which I found very difficult to control).
