Had potential, but not all that fun after a while.
The game is just ok for me. The story is good and it is enjoyable to just watch the clips in between the fighting. The graphics look basically like PS2. I have low expectations with the Wii graphics anyway, so that didnt really bother me.
You basically go around each level killing all the guys and there is a boss at the end of each level. It is pretty easy, you just waive the controller around and it controls your lightsaber. If you die, you just start off from the same place with the same guys already dead. So you can make your way through the levels pretty quickly and easily. It kind of gets old a little quick and my arm is killing after each level, from all the waving.
With the bosses, when you die you carry straight on with the damage on the boss remaining almost the same. Which makes it pretty easy to beat them in a a few minutes.
The duel mode is a nice idea, but the controls are not all that good or accurate. My friend just waives the controller and nunchunk around frantically without knowing what she is doing and ends up beating me everytime. I am interested to see what the Clone Wars game brings when it is released next month.
This is a solid rental, rather than purchase for me. For a Star Wars fan it is fun for me to follow the story (probably more enjoyable than actually playing!). I just see myself going through the game once, as I dont see much replay value in it.
I actually kind of agree with the points in th Gamespot review. I give it a 7/10. Nearly, but not quite there. Good story though.
