I've scanned over different posts and see a lot of negative comments about this game.

I was thinking about getting it for the Wii when the price comes down. Would it be worth it?

I've only seen it played on the Wii, never actually experienced it. But I have to say it looks poor...and that's putting it mildly. The story seems a lot different than the main quest that's in the 360 and PS3 versions and the overall look and feel of the game just felt very, very dated. I'm not sure if it would be worth a purchase.

As for this game being Episode III with new characters? That's odd. I didn't think that ever while playing it; the engines are completely different, from duels to Force powers. While this game is by no means "game of the year", and I'm sure it could have used a lot more polish and, just overall, been better...I don't think it's only use is a coaster for iced tea. It's a game that has some redeeming values.

The way this DLC played, makes me think the Game itself wasn't quite the polished and finished product that it was marketed to be...

Jeez, that's the understatement of the century as far this game (or even LucasArts in general) goes.

If you have PS3 or Xbox360, don't get it for Wii.

Urgghh!!! If I am understanding this correctly, there is no on-disk Duel mode for the X-Box 360, and you can only get it by downloading it of off Live?

Please say it ain't so! That was half of the reason I got this game, and I don't know if I can get Live... frustrated

There's no duel mode on the 360 or PS3 versions at all - not on Live, not anywhere.

In fact, I'm pretty sure this mode is exclusive to the Wii.

Ah, thank you. Another question, what about the skins like Kit Fisto Luke Skywalker etc., are they Live exclusive downloads? confused

I've only heard about them coming out on Live, but they may be out on PSN.

So TFU is dead now, aye?
No more skins? No more extra levels?
STILL no dueling for nexgen systems?


No wonder this thread hasn't been touched in TWO months.

Bumped for new DLC non-spoiler discussion:
The lightning is way better looking now, and the environment was a little more interactive.

This game had so much potential, but in the end I think everything (the story, gameplay, graphics) was a huge let down.

It's not a terrible game. Just not a good game either.


That's funny, because for me the story and graphics are the only reason I could stand to play this till the end.

I just finished it today finally, I had to turn down the difficulty to Apprentice because the game's incredibly cheap. I probably spent 50% of my time with my face flat on the floor because the getting up animation is so slow, that by the time I get up I'm shot to the floor again, and it happened over and over and over until I felt like putting my fist through the TV.

The biggest annoyance is when you're doing a combo on someone at the edge of something and the animation sends you straight over the edge like you're sliding on butter. I lost count how many times I died because of poor gameplay mechanics that were completely out of my control.

It's probably one of the most irritating games I've never had the pleasure of experiencing.

Having said that, I made it to the end and I enjoyed the plot, I also have a strange urge to play through again and get all the hidden items. I must be insane. silly
