Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Considering how plot driven and epic revenge of the sith was, you would think that the spin off game would be something a little more than just a straight forward hack and slash em up, but thats just what it is- a straight forward hack and slash em up.

Its not a bad game , but its blandly linear level design and button bashing gameplay ensure that its not a great one- if your not an undemanding star wars fan , then you'll find this pretty average .

There are attempts to add depth to the game with the bonus missions and a fun two player mode , but ultimately what it all boils down to is hacking and slashing droids, walking a bit and hacking and slashing droids some more.Its Golden axe with light sabers if you will.

Presentation wise the game is great, the film copies the look of the film well . It copies the sounds brilliantly too- not just the iconic light saber noises among others but john williams masterful score thats so adventurous and epic that it makes the game seem ten times better than it actually is .

Not bad but if you really want to experience anakins switch to the darkside, stick to the movie.

Hi all, This game is by far one of the best of star wars, it is very playable to all ages, requires a lot of thought and is most of all a lot of fun! The graphics are good, but the clips in between levels are awesome as they are a combination between actual movie footage and made up game footage.

Anakin turns to the dark side perfect in this game with a rather difficult lightsabre fight with Mace Windu before the emperor blows him out the window and the fight against Grievous is probably more difficult the fighting Anakin.

Thanks all!

I bought an XBox just so I could buy the game and play it. When I did, I was very pleased. I was online and I ran into a site about it that was so enticing, I had to get it. The only thing was I played it so often when I first got it, I beat it in about 3 days. I kind of miss playing it but now that everything's done, the incentive to do so is gone. So if you're going to buy this game, I suggest that you try not to burn it out with your enthusiasm.

There was something else that was a little disappointing about it. I had expected at least Hayden Christensen's and Ewan McGregor's voices to be featured in the game as themselves. Many of the LOTR cast did for "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" games I have for Gamecube. However, the voices that were cast as them were convincing for a while.

It's not as bad as I've read in other reviews. If you want a game based on a movie, you want it as closely related to it as possible and this game's the closest you'll get to "Revenge of the Sith" before its DVD release.

Well I bought this the day it came out, and knew of a little deal going where I could trade in a few games so I wouldn't pay the $90, i paid $60 instead, but that's not the point.

So I bought it and was hyped as, cause I figured "Holy crap, I basically have the game, the movie possibly, in the palm of my hand before the movie came out" Obviously I was wrong, but yet again, I'm deviating.

OK, I get the game, I play it, you see the opening scroll and get straight into the game as Anakin and Obi Wan aboard Seperatist Leader General Grevious' flagship. You basically hack and slash your way through droids droids and more droids, enjoying clip scenes from the movie as you progress through levels, eventually coming to face Count Dooku. Obviously I wont spoil anything, but you fight him etc.

The rest of the game you alternate between Obi Wan and Anakin, fighting your way through levels from the movie, and levels excluded, watching scenes from the film again.

Unfortunately, the game comes out as too easy, I breezed through it in 8 hours flat. it is also too similar to the Lord of the Rings games in experience points gained go to unlocking different combo's which aren't really used very often.

The only redeeming features would be unlocking movies (including an awesome alternate ending), concept art, bonus levels (one of which you play as YODA!) and multiplayer.

Best that if you come across this game, please rent it, don't fork out your dollars/Euro/Yen etc. on buying a game you'll play the whole way through only once, to occasionally multiplay again.

6/10, nice game, worthwhile features to be unlocked, but too easy and perhaps repetitive.
