"Undeniably fun, this game is."

Story: 10
The story in this game is taken from the movie Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It follows the plot of the movie very well, with quotes directly from the movie. If you have not seen the movie yet the game has spoilers, so if you do not want to be spoiled see the movie first.

Gameplay: 10
The most important part of any game is the gameplay. In the game you can choose between 2 characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Each path is very different, so the only way to see the whole game is to play through both characters. This game has 2 kinds of gameplay: the first one is the 3D dogfights, you pilot a spacecraft to make it to the finish or destroy a certain amount of enemies; the second one is the main part of the game, the 2D side-scroller levels, where you make it from one side of the level to the other and destroy all the enemies on the way. The combat is great, use the B button for your lightsaber, the R button with the control pad for your force moves, the A button to jump, and the touch screen for special moves. Throughout the game you can upgrade your force moves and earn new special moves. There are 6 different bosses in the game which are very hard, but satisfying when they are defeated. This game has 21 levels total and 3 difficulty levels making the game have plenty of replay.

Graphics: 10
The graphics are great eye-candy to anyone, even those who are not star wars fans. The graphics on the 3D dogfight levels are crisp 3D and move at a smooth 60 feet per second. The 2D side-scroller levels have great animations of all the star wars characters and smooth combat with no slowdown at all.

Sound: 10
The music and sound effects on this game were taken directly from the movie, creating a great feel of the star wars universe.

Overall: 10/10
This game has everything a good game should have: story, gameplay, graphics, and sound. This game is a must have for the DS. Don't rent it, buy it; You will not be disappointed.
