 Fun until it hurts November 24, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I picked this up as a rental and am glad I did. It is pretty entertaining for about an hour, but 30 minutes later my arm was killing me. Also, that coincides with the amount of time it took to finish the storyline. It is mostly a mortal combat type of gameplay, with a set sized arena where you fight the best of three matches and then you get a cut scene that moves the story along. Oddly enough, it is how the Clone Wars cartoon is moving on the TV. You only get 7 fighters, but it looks like you can unlike 3-4 more. I just don't have the arm or wrist strength to open them up. My best tactic (Single or Duel mode) was to just spin my wii mote in a circle in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion and I did well enough. The duel (multiplayer) was pure mortal combat, one one one best of three fighting. The game overall was entertaining for a moment, but for my money I prefer Star Wars the Force Unleashed.
WAIT FOR A PROPER LIGHTSABER GAME-- IT SUCKS November 16, 2008

Here's what all of the fans and wishful thinkers out there need to hear: The game does not mimic your moves like you would expect. You'll find yourself chopping and pitching with no reason. Does it give you a workout? Yes... but an ultimately frustrating one due to the fact that your character is not responding as you are.
After buying this, I discovered that the game, like mostly ALL Star Wars games (sans Battlefront), is a cash-in, folks.

 Big Disappointment November 14, 2008
11 out of 18 found this review helpful
Understand how much I wanted this game, and for how long. I wanted a Wii as soon as I knew the system was being created because it seemed to have been designed with a lightsaber in mind. I imagined a game much like those samurai games in the arcade where you hold the sword in different positions to block and counter.
Sorry... this game offers nothing close to resembling pseudo-realistic saber combat. The aforementioned blocking is done by holding B. The lightsaber strokes have almost nothing to do with the motions of the remote, and certainly don't correspond directly. I'm sure you've heard of button-mashing. This is 'mote-spasming. Wiggle the remote until you hit something. Same annoyance; different form.
You might think I came to this game with high expectations. I think of it instead that I came to it with high optimism. Sadly, that optimism was not rewarded.
 Great fun for small kids, no so much if your older November 13, 2008

This is a great Star Wars game if your a young kid and want to swing your wii remote around and around. If your older like me however, this game will tire you out quickly after a while. The games controls are simple and one can learn them rather quickly. I know that the younger members of my family will end up loving this game, I however just home I don't sprain my wrist while playing.
 I'd Hoped for Better November 13, 2008

I was really looking forward to this game, I thought a lightsabre duel would be a perfect way to make use of motion-sensing wii technology. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with this game. Like the Bleach game for the Wii, gameplay is actually made more difficult by the wiimote. I featured this game in a gaming tournament I hosted at the library today, and all of my teen participants either accidentally paused the game, or inadvertently brought up the wii menu screen at least once. It's so difficult to wield the wiimote and use the nunchuk to reposition yourself that it's actually really hard to not just button mash all of the buttons and still end up not facing your opponent. We were only able to play one-player mode since I didn't know you needed two sets of nunchuks, so the two-player mode may have been more satisfying. Overall, I wasn't impressed with anything other than the graphics. I agree with the other reviewer that the dialog is extremely staged, and even in the hour we played, some characters repeated the same phrase over and over again.
