Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (the video game)
4.5/5- An incredible game that puts you in the movie. It does a pretty decent job of not giving away any major parts that a Star Wars fan didn’t already know. The game play is awesome- it is a 3rd person view and you are either Anakin or Obi-Wan durring the game. Your lightsaber skills are awesome if you can get the combos are your force powers better. Each level you gain expirience which you then attribute to a certain skill. I used mine on criticlaa attacks, force heal, force throw and for anakin, lightning. Now I’m usually not a big fan of 3rd person but it’s nessesary here in order to get the full jedi expirience. The game itself is a little short but the bonus missions and multiplayer makes up for it . In the bonus missions you get to be Greivous’ body guard- which sucks because it is a slow cluncky droid with no special abilities- Greivous- which is cool because of his special ability to use 4 lightsabers (default for him is 2)- Anakin- always fun- and YODA. Being Yoda is alot of fun because he is so fast. He’s really just the ball with a lightsaber. All his force powers are fatal on the lower level enemies and he is fast enough to hit the assassins with his lightsaber- The assassins are very fast. The best part is his force circle (i guess that’s what I will call it). Basically if you are surrounded by enemies, you do that they ALL die.
Then there is the multiplayer. You unlock various characters in the game- including Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi- you also unlock Mace, Greivous, Dooku, 2 jedi just in the game, not the movie, and of course Anakin and Obi-Wan. You can’t be Yoda, because that would be unfair. The cool thing about Multiplayer is that Anakin’s powers are based on your progress in the game. Once you go to the dark side in story mode, he has lightning in multiplayer. There is VS and Co-Op. I didn’t do too much co-op, but from what I did its cool and different from the actual story mode- you get to be different characters on some levels.
My only complaint with the game is the view sometimes. When you are fighting a circle of people you can’t change the camera angle, so it leaves you guessing as to where the enemies are. But, the game is still worth it. I highly recommend it. Later!
