So, the game finally came out. It's here, and it's amazing! Forget what other magazines and websites say about the game because they're clearly not open to new ideas. So I'll give you my 411 review on this game. The story is about a young sith named Starkiller who gets taken in by Darth Vader as a child, this is after the part where you get to play as Darth Vader to get to the boys father, one of the last remaining Jedi. The mission is to kill every last escaped member of the Jedi council, because order 66 in Revenge of the Sith didn't finish every Jedi off, I mean, we still have obi-wan on the loose, but he does make a special appearance a few times in the game. As you may know, the force powers are phenomenal. This is a game you can feel good while playing it. You'll feel superior and powerful. Although it has some very minor glitches and what-not, the story really makes up for every little flaw in the game.



Over the course of the game, you'll get to see plot twists and turns, and you'll get two endings depending on what action you choose to take in the last level of the game, which I won't say because it's a spoiler. There's a new version of C3P0 that calls himself "Proxy". He's able to mimic characters in the game and shape-shift into them, kinda like Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat, you'll get a special appearance by Darth Mual. The next character who aids you on your missions is Juno Eclipse, some imperial chick who works for you as your flight guide, and later as the last girl you'll ever get to first base with. You'll find these yellow and red holocrons in every level, there's fifteen of them in each level. The yellow ones give you costumes, lightsaber crystals, lightsaber powers, force points to upgrade your characters force powers and saber skills and finally bonuses. The thing I like most about this game is the fact that you get to customize your character each time. You get 6 different lightsaber colors throughout the game. Red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and black, that's a nice looking color crystal for a saber, but that you can find in the last level. You'll get to travel to the wookie planet of Kayshyyk, the tie fighter facility, cloud city, raxus prime, and many more that I won't reveal for you.




I'm sure anyone who plays games knows that this game uses the Euphoria engine which was used in Grand Theft Auto 4. So everytime you use your force powers on objects and moving things, they'll always break or die in a diffrent way, it's never the same. But this game focuses more on force powers than lightsaber attacks, which is kind of a downer, but playing as Darth Vader makes up for it. You get, force push, force lightning, saber throw, force pulse, and force grip. Just think of this game as the Star Wars of Psi Ops, except with much greater power. The game has no online modes, but it does have unlockables like artwork and cut scenes in the extras section. It's also out for the xbox 360, the nintendo Wii, the nintendo DS, playstation 2, and the PSP. The unique thing about Wii version is that you have duel mode, which of course is all the characters from the game and the expanded universe, in a fight with you and your buddy. The ps2 and psp version have bonus levels like the Jedi temple and have the historic battles like the battle between Luke and Vader on cloud city in Return of the Empire. So that pretty much covers everything for this game, and in a perfect world I'd give this game a perfect 10 because it is flawless in my eyes.
