slats from Darwen , 07/03/2008

in everyone rating this game when no-ones played it because it isn't even released yet

its got 82% review already and it might be a terrible game

if you haven't played it , don't rate it, your just misleading others

And you don't think you've messed it up not by giving it 0 stars...... (yes I know I've just done a similar thing but I am not the one complaining here so that's irrelevant..)

To be fair this game is not that bad. and I did enjoy playing it, mostly.

The problem is that it is just so dissapointing. Not remotely as good as it should have been or was advertised as.

The story line is really quite limited, it is quite interesting but it is very rigid with no real choice in what you did, or in the complexities of being good or evil. Basically in all circumstances you kill everyone.even if there not actually bad guys you can kill them anyway because there is no light side darkside ballance that is usually present in Starwars games. Much was made of the revolutionary systems for the destruction of the environment and for the way enemies would react to being attacked. In truth very little of the environment is destructable.

The control system is average at best. targeting is a real problem often causing you to attack in the wrong direction or throw an explosive barrel into a wall rather than the intended target. I personally feel that the option to have been able to remap some of the key controls would have resolved some issues, (I never understand why some game designers are so afraid to give you this option). The camera view is at times awful, often making it impossible to see yourself or your enemy.

The only real saving grace of this game is the fact that it's starwars. I am a fan and so I did get some enjopyment out of this, but I really wish I had rented it not bought it.

Better titles to get. Star Wars : Revenge of the Sith (XBOX/360) : a surprisingly good game that achieves a better control system whilst offering most of the same force powers and a more complex lightsabre fighting system.

Vikging: Battle for Asgard. a similar format of game. but with much more freedom. obviusly not starwars but a lot of really good hack and slash and some magic, intermixed with huge battles
