Very poor graphics but excellent Wii control
Customer Rating: 
Poor graphics: This is the 1st non-Mario (simple character) type Wii game that I bought. I read bipolar reviews that some said graphics are adequate and some said great. Gosh! It might depend on the age of the review writers but this game's graphics are WAY BELOW AVERAGE! It reminds me of PS1 type of graphics! Even Final Fantasy's cut scene version on PS1 is far better than this. Perhaps in game play the system can't handle too much, but I'm just so disappointed at the quality of the cut scenes. They are just as bad as PS1 level of graphic details - pointy face and awkward movements. This dramatically reduces my love of this game.
Great control - the fun part is really the way how Wii is designed for the controls. It's absolutely awesome for how you can wield your remote as lightsaber and nun-chuck as force. This is why I didn't buy the game in other versions as it's so much healthier to exercise while playing.
I haven't finished playing the game but the story is quite intriguing and does add to the experience. I also agree with one reviewer about how you just don't die in this game - it goes take away the challenge part (great for young kids but not so great for more experienced gamers).
Overall, Lucas Arts has mostly produced very mediocre video games for such a wonderful franchise. I hope that some day other developers can create a much better Star Wars game for fans.
Lot's of fun with minor flaws..
Customer Rating: Ok.. So I'll start saying that I dont own this game, I rented it 'cause I wanted to try it first...
Having said that, I also have foud the key strong points are:
- Adequate Graphics. I own a Wii so I bet the xBox or PS3 are far better, but this one looks very ok.
- Great sound. Nobody pays attention to music, but this game has a lot of it and you feel like youre actually on a movie.
- You are on the dark side!!! At least! I mean I have played a lot of Starwars games, including KOTOR 1 and 2 and beleive me, it always is easier if you're good. But in this game you start as a really bad guy. In fact, u get o play Darth Vader!.
- Beside the "force points" you get for killing enemies, and then trade them for levels of skills (i.e. a stronger force push) you unlock new crystals for your lightsaber, new force powers and some more stuff wich is awesome.
- The Wii controls are really natural, there are a lot of force powers and Wii controls make it really easy and enjoyable to use them.
And for the cons:
- Camera movement is widely mentioned in this reviews but it gets fixed if you increase the camera speed option in the menu of the game.
- The third-person disadvantage is there, truly if you're on a room filled withj storm troopers it gets difficult to use force powers accurately. Still the AI of the game helps you a bit there, so whenever you throw something it hits the nearest enemy, and stuff like that.
- True, if you die there's not a lot of consequences, still, this game is for fun, not for repeating the whole level if the boss kills you. Besides, there is a consequence, your force points diminish and it takes you more time to aquire more points so u can buy extra levels for your powers. And in the bosses they regain energy, so if you die they recover about 30% of their strength.
-Bad point that the games saves a lot in the check points but if you turn off and on the wii, you have to start from the beginning, but well chapters are not that long.
In general it's not a perfect game, so it does not get a 5 star grade, but still is a lot of fun to play it for like an hour from time to time and maybe on some weekend afternoon.
