"Just because there are two of you, don't assume you have the advantage."
I'm sorry, what? What did you just say?
There are few things as satisfying as just slicing through battle droids. Except maybe Jedi. Just plowing through the Jedi temple is the best. I need more Star Wars games where you fight through hordes of lightsaber wielders.
I love how intricate the combat system is. Especially for a movie game. The different characters even have somewhat different combos. It takes a while to get used to, but once you get there, and once you get some upgraded skills, it's a hoot. I love how the characters will sometimes, almost instinctively, just block some blaster bolts without you doing anything.
I love how the developers made some very cool imagery themselves in the non-movie cutscenes, like when Anakin's and Dooku's lightsabers clash in front of Palpatine like Luke's and Vader's in Return of the Jedi.
And I love how the main menu music is the music that plays when Anakin finds out about Shmi being kidnapped in Attack of the Clones. The first real turning point towards Vader. These people cared about this game.
They really went above and beyond.
They incorporated a—now pretty well known—multiplayer duel mode that kept me entertained for hours as a kid, and is still pretty fun today. Serra Keto is awesome.
Not only did they (for obvious movie–game reasons) create a bunch of segments of Anakin fighting through the Jedi temple that aren't in the film (probably my favorite part of the game)—they inserted segments a lot throughout the game, obviously, but it's never not warranted, and it's always based on either earlier concept art or architecture from the movie, or (as is with the Jedi temple) based on locations and characters you see in earlier films—but they also have bonus missions that don't specifically follow the movie at all which are few and short, but pretty awesome. Especially the New Hope duel.
They clearly had a blast making this game, and it rubs off on the player.
