The game is generally fun, but seems to kind of force a lot of the combat animations. They just don't seem as smooth as they could be, which for me, kind of detracted from the gameplay a little bit. I did run into one bug on the Mos Eisley mission where I couldn't get back to my ship... The door simply won't open, and there is nowhere else to go on the map: believe me, I spent about two hours looking to make sure I didn't miss something. All-in-all, though, the game seems like a solid entry into the series and will probably give a lot of people a lot of fun. It's good to see that there was some expansion on the saber combat by adding moves and combinations with force powers. Download the demo, try it out: buy it if you like it!
