Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith Reviews
I was very wrong. I was a bit worried that the video game would be a watered down version of the PG-13 film.
The missions are so immersive, the controls are wonderful and the gameplay is simply addicting. The game is moderately long, (the story mode takes about 6 or 7 hours) but there is so much replayability that story mode doesn't even put a knick in the potential gameplay.
I purchased this game two days ago, and yes, I beat it in two sittings. Overall this is a must buy.
Ok, so I'm a little late in playing this game, but I love it. As far as graphics, well, these rate at about a 6.5 to 7.0 right now in 2007, but for that generation of games they rate an easy 8.0.
Certain levels in this game put you right into the muderous shoes of Darth Vader, killing everything that comes between you and your goals, while others put you in the shoes of the hero Obi Wan. One of my favorite things about this game is the careful attention to the plot.
When you switch from the movie back into gameplay, the characters suddenly look very wooden and blocky. I realize they can't "fix" Anakin to make him more pleasant - but it's like water torture to hear his snotty voice snapping back at Kenobi constantly. This is the ultimate episode where Anakin finally turns to the dark side and embraces his new personae as Darth Vader. The problem here is that much of what you're doing is repetitive. It was very nice of them to have two player gameplay, something which is missing from a lot of games. The movement of the characters during fighting is relatively smooth, with the saber attacks, spins, jumps and so on.
If you're a fan of the Star Wars world, you know that Episode III is the "last episode" in terms of movie releases. I also have to comment that the dialogue gets very inane, very quickly. The translation into a game was done with the full cooperation of the Star Wars people, and there are many integrations of video clips into the storyline. Great potential here - but numerous flaws that really should have been spotted easily during beta testing. Unfortunately, with the XBox engine, this just doesn't work as well in this game.
I don't think you'd have that reaction at all if 1) they didn't try to make it a seamless situation or 2) they'd done a better job with in game graphics.
I know many people who are home taking care of kids or for other reasons can't have someone else "in" their house, and Live is an important aspect of their free time fun.
It often comes down to button mashing, which is a shame because in an RPG like manner you get to build up your character's strengths to customize him.
Oh look, another wave of droids to slaughter.
Finally, there were situations in the game where you hit a "puzzle to be solved" and you were given quick instructions about what button to press - but if you missed those for some reason, you were doomed to death so that you could go back and replay up to that area and hear the instructions again.
With so many people who play on Live - but don't have nearby friends to play in the house - it's a real shame.
But on the other hand, why don't they have an XBox Live component.
That just makes no sense in a modern game.
I've seen this done VERY well with other games, so that you feel you're an integral part of the storyline.
You can also unlock bonus missions and this game also has a 17th level where they show what would of happened if Anakin beat Obi-Wan. The game follows the movie nicely with a few unique levels thrown in there. The game is fun but it is somewhat repeatitive. In order to defeat a boss all you have to do is block block block slah slash slah block block block slash slash slash repeat.
The duels are the best. In most of th levels you run around destroying hundreds of battle droids ubtill your fingers hurt. In the game you will start the first level playing as Anakin. Being a hardcore star wars fan this was the first game I purchased for my xbox. The bosses on this game are incredibly easy and have no unique fighting style. I also like the movire footage in the game which helps the game flow nicely. The story missions are an average length.
Throughout the game you will switch between Anakin and Obi-Wan. It is a hack and slash button masher game. This game also has a multiplayer feature where you can have one on one duels or play co cop. This game has sixteen story levels. (Once you have defeated one boss you will undoubtedly be able to defeat all the others. there are only 4 co op missions and they are all very short and frankly boring. Overall average Star Wars game.
Game play composed well, however game is too short and easy to defeat.
This was the only thing my four year old asked Santa for this year. He absolutely loves it. Now he's trying to teach mom how to play.
