Summary
In the game Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, and the experience of saber fighting feels real in comparison the jedi knight and a few other previous related title. You're sucked into the plot the moment you start playing, taking on the role of Anakin Skywalker. Later, you get the chance to play as Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose attacks are different from Anakin's.
That's the kind of attention to detail that makes this such a gripping and immersive game. It feels wonderful to get swept into the Star Wars world and thrown into the plot of a movie that isn't in theaters yet. Most of this third-person, action-adventure game involves crushing hordes of enemies by striking them down left and right with your light-saber. Initially, this is very easy to do; it gradually gets harder, but not before some monotony sets in. The light-saber is a wonderful weapon that can be minutely directed with an Xbox controller.
You can pull off crazy combo attacks in multiple directions, and block and deflect ranged weapon attacks. The boss battles are all-out light-saber duels with daunting enemies such as Count Dooku, Mace Windu, and Darth Vader. Close combat is frenetic, yet you still must pay attention to the finer aspects of battle: You control blocking and parrying with the right thumbstick. Remember that defense is as important as offense, and a true test of your Jedi skills.
In addition to the light-saber, Force powers play a large offensive role. These include the ability to pick up and throw objects or attackers, throw your light-saber like a deadly boomerang, and stun the mind of your enemy. If you choose to embrace the Dark Side, you can learn Sith Lightning—a powerful weapon. As you fight, you earn experience points, which can then be used to improve attacks and force powers. This gives the game an RPG (role-playing game) element, in which you develop your character's skills from level to level. As your character grows more powerful, the game becomes more difficult.
The game is extremely well paced. The integration of game play with over 12 minutes of movie footage and countless minutes of animation creates a thrilling experience. The Star Wars music adds to the feeling that you've been absorbed into the movie; it also makes for great menu music. And sound effects, recorded with Skywalker Sound, are as realistic as they can be.
This game sets you down squarely in the Star Wars universe—and serious fans may never want to leave.
