PS2 Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith review:3 stars (Could and should have been better) - With all the tie-in's and such for the release of the third Star Wars prequel, one would figure that maybe the folks at LucasArts would have put more time into making the video game based soley on the movie, but then again, this is LucasArts we're talking about here, and they've turned out far more misses with the Star Wars license than hits over the years. Revenge of the Sith follows the film's storyline almost exactly, while the graphics look great, and even the actors from the film provide the voices for their characters. You can play as Obi-Wan or Anakin and battle your way through the game on single player or co-op, or you can duel it out with various Star Wars characters, including ones that can be unlocked. However, the story mode of the game is really nothing more than a simple hack & slasher at heart, and fighting hordes of droids and soldiers becomes old real quick. The sound effects are nicely done, as is the score used from the film, but the voice acting is surprisingly stiff, and the one-liners are annoying and actually kind of un-Jedi like. Not to mention that the story mode is pretty short as well, and the final battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin will be there before you know it. The duel mode is nice, and it suggests that if LucasArts was serious about a Star Wars fighting game (such as a previous reviewer stated, like Soul Calibur) that they could make something really special (not like that horrible PS1 Star Wars fighting game, Knights of the Teras Kasi). All in all, Revenge of the Sith isn't a bad game at all, and it's definitely worth playing for Star Wars fanboys, but don't expect anything great from it.5 stars (Star Wars Episode III) - The Star Wars III the game is awesome. It's so cool
when you fight Dooko, Master Windew and those other guys are so fun. The graphics are good! If you're looking for a really good action game I would take this game. If you like challenging and a game you can play over and over again this a game you should definitely should get this game!
Jonathan.S3 stars (not expected) - the prices on the game are too high for a game thats not that good |
