i gotta admit, i am a Star Wars buff, i mean come on who isnt, right? because of that, i usually try out anything Star Wars related. the books, the comics, the movies, and of course, the games. so i saw this, and decided to give it a go. it is fun, i do recommend it if you are a fan. it is kind of refreshing, it is not as amazing as the force unleashed, but that is a game that will be tough to top, imo.

the controls are rather simple, however you do have to get used to the fact that you only use one thumbstick to control the character, and you cannot look around. which i thought sucked, because you could use the opportunity to enjoy some scenery, kinda like in Halo.

you do have some hidden goodies and treats that are cool with some force and light saber power-ups thrown in the mix to spice it up. it helps. you also play as quite a few of the characters from the legacy as well which is cool. so far after a few hours of game play, i have played as asoka, anakin, plo koon(?), 2 different clones, the female jedi with the two skin dreadlocks comin out of her head, you know the one that looks like a nun, lol. (yep, higher than a kite right now, here is your cookie (#) ) also you ride different vehicles, even the wall climbers, and on top of all that, you can jack droids and control them against the empire.

overall, i thought it was a blast, and definitely worth checking out.
