This is the game that will complete ever star wars nerd's fantasy... besides the one about hooking up with Leia in her slave outfit...

You start off a very unskilled Sith. Progressing through the game opens up galaxies upon galaxies of different options and choices when it comes to matching up powers and abilities.

The graphics were amazing. The ability to pick up and use almost anything in the environment and the chipping of wood and other things when hit with a light saber or the force brings you into the world and keeps you sucked in with its real life imagery and feel.

The sound brings back the feeling of the old star wars movies as well as giving it a new touch to amp up the excitement of being a force to be reckoned with. Pulsing through the veins of the game are tracks that get your heart beating and adrenaline flowing through you as you get the feeling of an intense battle approaching just up ahead and around every corner

The controls are easy to understand with no complicated compos and they take away the need for button mashing. Going from move to move and fusing your saber skills with your abilities with the force is a breeze in this game making you feel like you are actually a Jedi with the force running through you (or should i say midiclorians).

The story starts off a bit confusing but by the 2nd level everything is cleared up. this game fully takes advantage of cut scenes and in game dialog to keep the story flowing and new information fusing with old. The side story of Darth Vader's apprentice flows in perfect harmony with the other star wars movies and makes it completely believable that it is what happened.

The fun is unleashed with this game by allowing you to change up your light saber and costume at any point in the game... when you have the XBOX 360 version various achievements keep you doing unusual but fun tasks.

The Replay value struggles to keep par with every other part of the game due to its lack of online play but is made up with the fact that you can go back through and still keep all your force abilities and reek havoc open your opponents like a god (or goddess)

All Together this game is a great buy and find. The controls and sound flow smoothly with the graphics to create an experience that induces illusions of actually being a Jedi. (lucky for me i got a master replica light saber)
