Dont let the hardcore naysayers influence your decision about this game. I(a 38 year old male)purchased this for me and my 6 year old son. WE also bought the dual glowing light sabers(a definite must have-a really enjoyable experience) Yes the campaign is short but the main reason for this game is the multiplayer dueling. There is a good training mode showing you not to just hack and slash. There are also force abilities you can use to throw objects and push your opponents too. So if you actually memorize the combos it can be a fun and challenging game. So don’t let the hardcore “Star Wars” MEN discourage you-let them gripe and complain about how Lucas and the franchise have gone down the tubes 20 years ago after episode 6,etc,etc. Sure this is no lightsaber sim, but it is very fun and has a lot of replay, and will be the closest thing to using a lightsaber that most of us come to. Buy the lightsabers too([...]) you wont regret it. Be a kid again and may the force be with you.
If you are expecting fluid motion of the light saber on the screen – this isn’t it. Attacks are made by moving the remote and it does respond to swinging.
That being said – it is fun, just don’t have these super high expectations that a Wii doesn’t have the power to deliver.

Krome does it again!
As if we didn’t get enough Jedi/Sith action with the Wii version of The Force Unleashed, Krome hands us another slice of Lucasfilm pie!
Let me first start by saying that I have owned this game now for nearly 3 months. I will say that it is better today than the day I bought it. Those people here who are whining about the controls and it not being “saberlike” while still being huge Star Wars fans obviously aren’t true Jedi (fans.)
I will admit that after the first day of gameplay, I could have easily fallen into the “toss it aside as shallow” mindset as most reviewers here, but I decided I’d completely beat the game first. Well, I challenge the people who have reviewed this game negatively to do the following things:
1. Play the game on Jedi Knight or Master instead of being chumps on Padawan. Once Dooku or Obi-Wan hand you your rear a few times, you will realize that mindless wii-mote swinging is not the proper way to play.
2. Once you do this and realize that you might want to actually think a little, go ahead and try to complete all of the challenges to unlock the other characters. The challenges will force you to use strategy & timing, along with having to play at a higher difficulty. You will then gather a greater appreciation of movement, timing, and force energy usage/conservation.
3. Then find a friend or family member who will do both 1 & 2 and actually care to play! This game becomes immediately 10 times better when playing against a real gamer. My newfound appreciation after 3 months of owning this game has come from finally convincing one of my gaming buddies (whom I reguarly engage in hours of Fight Night 3, Madden, and Street Fighter) to get into this game and really learn how to play. We now have consistent 5-8 minute per round duels with crafty parrying, flipping, and force attacks with the varying fighting styles of the different characters.
I will repeat, this game takes DISCIPLINE and patience! And it is awesome if you care to make it so!
The cons I have for this game is I wish there were more characters (such as Yoda) and more variety in the one-liners. I also wish that the between round cut scenes didn’t obstruct the battle flow so much. There could be smoother transaction between rounds/battles as the menu screens are abrupt as well. Another con, as someone else pointed out, is that it is very easy in the heat of battle to hit the pause or menu buttons during a swing. VERY annoying during an intense match trying to concentrate. I have also noticed this same phenomena while playing Madden ‘09 All Play when making a juke or tackle, so it is a common Wii annoyance during games that require quick reactive movements.

Not what I expected, but still a blast
I will begin by saying that this game wasn’t as spectacular as I thought it would be. It is not like you are using the Wii remote as a light saber, which was disappointing at…

Very lame game !!!DO NOT BUY!!!
First of all I give this game a F minus. If I could I would give it no stars. I went to the store a couple of days ago to buy this game for my 12 and 7-year-old.

Son loves it!
My son begged for this for his b-day and I finally bought it for him. I was concerned he wouldn’t like it as much as the Lego versions, but he loves it!

IT’S STAR WARS
It’s star wars, so the kids lke it. My almost 7 years old found it a little too violent. He is used to Wii STARWARS and CLONEWARS but I think the sound the lightsaber made it a…

Where’s Yoda?
(Imagine this being said in Master Yoda’s voice…)
Without the Master Jedi Yoda this game is not what cracked up to be it is!
