Honest Review

This game is very impressive, especially for its time. It has amazing visuals combined with an engaging storyline.

Custom Character: 7/10
I give the custom character a 7/10 because it doesnt have that many choices. It has enough to keep the game interesting, and overall it keeps you drawn in for many walkthroughs of the campaign. The Custom Character doesnt really affect gameplay much, so its not a large part of this reveiw.

Story: 9/10
It isnt super in depth and descriptive, and is rather straightforward in approach. Nonetheless, the storyline has a very high rate of replayability. There are some levels that can be rather annoying, but they all add in to the whole, where its just plain fantastic.

The Force: 7/10
I only give the force 7/10 because it actually subtracts from the challenge aspect of the game once youve leveled up enough. When you run into a room with three Sith and a group of stormtroopers it makes it rather anticlimatic when the video of the main boss dialogue ends and you finish the fight with his cronies in five seconds. (Force Lightning.) Now, I would make the force powers a 9/10 for those of you who want a easy blast through levels as fast as possible game. It would be the same for hardcore gamers, because the force abilities are, though not nerfed in the higher difficulties, more intense. A combination of more health, and a longer time for force points to regenerate, makes the game better on these difficulties.

Combat: 9/10
When youre in a lightsaber fight and you slash someones arm off its pretty amazing. One time I got a spectacular death animation from a handless stormtrooper who moaned as he slowly but surely fell to his knees, then slumped to the ground.

Overall: 9/10
I hope those of you who want to purchase this do so as soon as you can so you can join in the fun.
