Yeah, it was a much better game than the other Star Wars foray into fighting games: Masters of Teras Kasi.

Now that was a bad game, way to difficult and ridiculously complicated to pull of combos. And not in a good way like Virtua Fighter, the controls were just bad.

Still, I'd like to play it a few minutes just to finally see a 3D Mara Jade in motion and such.

I can't understand why there has been only ONE game with Mara Jade in it, and a crappy one at that.

Lego SW is out.

I played the Demo, pretty fun.

And the ROTS game is out this week as I recall.

Why not wait until May 19th to release the game? If I wished to play this game - and I don't - I would wait until them, so I wouldn't get too many spoilers.

That's a good point.

Hey, BTW, how's your Nintendo DS working out?

I've already read the novel and comic adapations, I'm not too worried about spoilers.

ive been reading spoilers since day one too... they dont bother me at all...

i stayed pretty much clear of spoilers for episode 2 and still wasnt suprised by anything really....
episode's 1,2 and 3 are basically going to mimic the events of 4,5 and 6 anyway....

so im expecting ROTS to be ROTJ with a lot of CGI

Jedi was light hearted; Sith is rated PG-13.

There is no way it's gonna be like RotJ with CGI.

I beg to differ. PG-13 just denotes that there will be some harsher content, it doesn't have anything to do with the overall tone of the movie, which will probably be similiar to ROTJ. It'll have some dark stuff, it'll have some light stuff, and it'll have some goofy stuff.

I don't know, I've borrowed it to a friend last week (I owned him one, so I didn't think twice), still hasn't returned

im talking more about content...
ROTS will mimic ROTJ in almost every way possible...

there are numerous sites on the net that explains the Lucas formula for making movies...

so most likely we can expect Anakin turning to the darkside to be almost exactly like Vader trying to convert Luke... is what im saying...
and many more similar stuff

i just hope we stop seeing people's hands/arms get cut off...
it worked well in empire but since ATOC we're seeing decapitations everywhere....

So did I. I borrowed and lost my original set of Hero Quest (should be worth a fortune now), some comic books, my Cyberpunks RPG book, my GURPS Magic book... and now this

Feeling kinda like Ned Flanders...

but anyway i had to mention this very quickly because its rather quite sad.....

the upcoming ROTS video game will feature voice actors rather than real actors themselves....

many may say... so what?

well
1. if almost all of the actors from the LOTR movies could provide their voices for 3 different games! then i dont see why Lucas couldnt have talked them into it.....
2. the voice actors that are doing the voices are utterly horrible!!! Yoda and The Emperor are just completely off...
3. this just proves that not much substance was put into this game at all..... it was clearly just a rush job to help promote ROTS....

for proof check out the CD soundtrack preview of the video game

Released today, all of the reviews I have seen are positive (granted that they may be fresh off the hype).
