9/10

Man………. This game is such a complicated one; it gets a hard time due to no one’s fault but its own. That being said, what the game became; what it turned into was nothing short of amazing: I wish we could have seen more. The multiplayer was massive, with various heroes, units and vehicles and the game looked beautiful it was truly magical. To tell a story, I had been playing the game since launch but understand my my friends stopped playing the game after a while bedside of the initial lack of content and lot boxes but I stuck with it hoping for a change. Change this scale rarely happens in gaming: but it did. After waiting for a year I too was almost ready to give up but then I saw the announcement of Grievous and new context planned and slowly, one by one, my friends started coming back and when conquest came out we played for about a month straight: it’s a memory I will never forget. The campaign loses points for being predictable and rushed though.

8.5/10

The gameplay, voice acting and level of power are everything I wanted in a Star Wars game. I played the game on the Wii and it was probably the first time I interacted with ‘Quick Time Events’ and shaking the remote which was really engaging the time - i heard that the Xbox version was better but I can only attest to my own experience. The characterisation is also one of the game’s strongest points with Sam Witwer doing an amazing job as convincing you - the player - at his conflicting internal state between the Light and Dark. This is supported by Ram Kota, the goat, bringing together an unforgettable Star Wars experience.
