Y'know these licensed games that have a bit more budget than others but still end up doing the thing where it's okayish when it starts but it gradually gets worse and more frustrating, that's one of them.
First of all, if any of you aren't aware, this game was released 10 days before the release of the movie, could you imagine getting to know the story of this movie via the game that only showcases the action part of the movie and uses completely different voice actors? (which would later end up being the Clone Wars cartoon voice actors)
Outside of this fun fact, this game is extremely forgettable, it's a generic hack-and-slash game that feels like a shittier Force Unleashed. It goes over most parts of the movie where either Anakin or Obi-Wan kills robots or clones but not the younglings obviously, sometimes like most video game adaptations of a movie it starts being a little whacky and creative by adding original content to pad out the game because this game is only 4 hours long, it's almost as long as the movie itself I can't imagine paying this 60$ at launch just to get some Revenge of the Sith movie clips on my Xbox.
Yeah, this was a big selling point for the game it uses clips from the movie which was not out yet at that point, though it uses different voices so it feels wrong.
There's really not much to say about this game, the combat is just mashing buttons over and over fighting the same enemies over and over, the only different missions are the boss missions which focus on Jedi fights like the Count Dooku boss and they suck, like really most of them are just "Mash the button and hope that the boss isn't blocking your attacks".
I just described the whole game, that's it, it's just that for 4 hours but it does have a secret ending where you play as Anakin during the final boss (it's the exact same shitty final boss) but you get a special cutscene where Anakin kills Obi-Wan AND Palpatine and it just makes me wish we'd get a Star Wars "What If".
It also has a secret Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan from Episode 4 using clips from the movie and it's really neat but short too.
Is there any reason to play this game now? Not really unless you feel like being in 2005 again.
