I like the Star Wars series. But I'm not a fanatic. I only watch the movies. I don't buy every single game, toy, lunchbox or underwear that has the Star Wars logo. I've probably only enjoyed like two Star Wars game ever. And I've only played two. They were in the Rouge Squadron series.

Gameplay: 7/10

I'm going to start off this part of section with a negative comment. The camera absolutely sucks. The camera is too loose and you can only see what Obi-Wan sees. The camera also seems to glitch and gets hung up on objects. Since the camera can't be positioned to see Obi-Wans frontal area, it's easy for enemies to sneak behind you and get in a couple of hits.

Now with a positive. The battle system is pretty good. Since you play a young Jedi, you obviously wield a lightsaber. You're able to swing the lightsaber at your enemies in certain directions. You're also able to block and deflect blast particles.

The Force is also...

THE GOOD:
The graphics are descent, good gameplay, cool weapons, using a light saber...

THE BAD:
Poorly set up levels...

SUMMARY:
I thought this was a descent fighter. Its definitely worth a rent or two. It had a lot of stuff to do including a few mini games that were loads of fun and high in replay value.

However, I don't think its worth a buy. It just didn't have that feeling that made you want to buy a game. It didn't have much of an adventure and it was extremely easy.

Overall Outcome: Rent It!

THE GOOD:
If there is anything good about this game it's that it does the movie justice

THE BAD:
ABSOLUTLY EVERYTHING!

SUMMARY:
Before I played this game, I thought that being a video game reviewer professionally would be a perfect job (you know dealing with video games no matter how bad they are couldn't be that bad), but now that I've played this game I don't know how I could play this game more than two minutes, let alone play through this game entirely. I know this is based just opinion and not what it should be (i.e. graphics, sound, control, etc.), but I feel that this is the worst Xbox game I've ever played if not the worst game on any system (except for Superman on the N64).

FOR YOU'RE OWN GAMING GOOD DON'T BUY THIS GAME

THE GOOD:
This game has a lot of action, and the violence is non-bloody. The enemies have good dialogue, and go into a death scene when they die. Battle droids break apart depending on where you hit them. The game follows a decent story line, too.

THE BAD:
There are many glitches in this game, including lock-ups tmeporary freezes. Weather they could have been fixed, I do not know. The game follows the same good soundtrack, but it would have been something if it had a brand new one for the prologue of the story.

SUMMARY:
Basically, this is an action game. It has some violence, but unlike other games such as Halo, it doesn't get too graphic and bloody. The walls have hit marks on them if you swing your saber at them. The marks stay there, even if you go away, and then come back. The gun turretor battle droids are very annoying, but add to the challenge. With some rythym, you can find a way to dodge them. The only...

THE GOOD:
Great gameplay, intuitive control.

THE BAD:
slightly dated graphics

SUMMARY:
This game should not be missed as it is the first third-person action adventure game involving the new star wars episode worth playing. The gameplay is incredibly intuitive and the AI reacts with incredible precision. This is not a button masher like Jedi Power Battles. The right analog stick becomes the light saber and feels unlike any other game before it. The self-shadowing characters and full water simulation take advantage of the Xbox hardware well. Also, measures have been made to model the light saber using the rumble features of the Xbox controller. Don't overlook this as it has been in devlopment awhile, the time has paid off!
