I have the PC version and I'm really liking this game. It's squad based and tactical without requiring too much planning (there's not even a map). The game does a great job of never taking you out of your helmet as all info comes through chatter or you see it through your helmet (including a really cool part where you get to see an attack ship drop out of hyperspace right in front of you in the middle of gameplay). It fleshes out the Star Wars universe quite a bit, showing that all clones weren't equal and going in depth into the Wookie slaving troubles. The only bad thing I have to say about the game is that the timed missions are a little demanding and that many of the enemies look silly and non-threatening. Of course that's a criticism fo the all over the place design practices of Lucas Inc. and it probably wasn't up to the game makers. Very good game though, check it if you like the genre or Star Wars.

Sev is awesome. Great quotes, not HK-47 quality or anything but getting there.

4,000 years after Knights of the Old Republic, and the Wookies *still* have troubles with slavery.


Not much changes in SWU.

I d/led the demo, but never got a chance to really play it.

From what I did play, though, it was really fun. I'll look into it when it drops in price. Still have so many games I want to play that I haven't even gotten yet.

Love it on the X-Box..... :D

Okay, I just finished the demo, and it bumped up on my to buy list. That was just dripping with awesomness.

Pretty awesome game DV, shouldn't be disappointed.

My only complaint, and it's a minor one, was the lack of locales, you really only go to 3 places, while well designed of course I had wanted just a little out of the zone designs.

How does battlefront compare to this?

Gotta leave something for the expansion packs.

I liked this a lot better than Battlefront, although I really enjoyed that too. Battlefront was just a massive capture the flag everytime, and didn't really have characters or a story really.
