Trust me, this one does not have the force

Star wars episode 3 revenge of the Sith is another movie tie-in, however it's not all bad, the graphics and story could have deepened however Star warsaepisode 3 is'nt actully half-bad! Yeh, i wish.

First of lets go for the good points, the fighting system is a good one, and it implements force powers and upgrading them very well, with only 2 attack and force buttons it's simple and easy to get to grips with aswell. Also considering it uses clips from the movie to introduce the cut scenes the gameplay and missions fall into place quite well, unlike some other movie games where theres a clip from the movie, then you have to go and do something totally unrelated to the subject,(all eyes on you Spiderman.)

Star wars episode 3 was an amazing movie but unfortunatley that does'nt mean it's an amazing game. One of the problems with it is the fact that it is far to short, with only 16 levels to play through,(That an experienced gamer could do in a breeze)it can be completed within 1hour30minutes.Also the graphics are not nearly pushing the PS2 to its full potential, compare it to the God of Wars graphics and you can see just what i mean, the final bad point, which is very frustrating, is the fact that although the combat system is good it is extremely repetitive, no matter how many different button combinations you press you always end up with a combo or move you've done before.

Overall Star episode 3 is a weak game that does'nt even come close to pushing the PS2 to its full potential, 1.5 STARS! Better than Runescape at least...
