So I finally broke down and picked up this game. I love the Star Wars series and this seemed to have a lot of potential. It still does - but fails to deliver. Here's some of the elements that are notable.
Story Line: A couple of really good twists that I don't want to give away. However, other than those, it's pretty short. I ended the game, thinking "that's all? Really?" I even played back through the first level hoping for some crazy novelty to bring me back to it. But ... nothing. And I hated playing as a Sith with no moral choices to make. I kept expecting to wait for that one moment where I could choose the Jedi or Sith path ... nothing. I still had to mow down Wookies. No fun there.
Graphics / Sound: Perfectly adequate. The camera angle makes it a little awkward at times, but there's still fun to be had. I'll admit, there was fun in holding an enemy up in the air and launching my lightsaber through him. It's also a neat twist being able to interact with the environment so much. Every room has boxes, mechanical things, and even droids that you can use to pummel your adversaries.
Play: As with almost every Wii game, I feel shafted. I'm a lefty, but yet they keep forcing me to wield my sword / saber with my right hand. Bah - that's what you get for following the Empire. Er... sorry - I'm back. That set aside, the controls are very intuitive and easy to pick up. Using the Wiimote as a saber is a nice touch.
All that put together, makes for a nice demo. It really needed much more, but completely failed to deliver on some of the past games (though it should bear to remark, that it is not nearly as bad as some of its predecessors). I would recommend renting this just to have the play experience ... but don't waste your money.
