Jakks' Star Wars Republic Squadron is a fun motion game that will surpass your expectations. For a $30 battery-operated plug n' play title, the graphics are good (close to Playstation 1 quality), and it has decent music and sound effects. Where the title shines, though, is in its motion controls. If you remember the old Atari vector-graphics Star Wars game (way back in '82), this game will bring you back. The grips are similar, and the feel of shooting enemies and navigating through a trench are there as well. Well worth checking out.

I have purchased quite a few of the plug and play games including some of the new Jakk's motion games. This is clearly the best one I've played. The graphic are probably on par with SNES, but this is the best looking plug and play games i've seen (not saying too much). Looks worse on a huge HD TV. Looks pretty good on a smaller standard def TV since the image is not stretched as much. The game does an amazing job with the technical limitations. I've played one of the plug and play motion sports games and some of the new Jakk's motion products for this year, and I can say that this game's controls are the most precise I've seen for such games. Very easy to control and aim. Young children should be able to play no problem. The contols work by turning the controller in each direction. The controls are based on the tilt of the controller rather than moving the entire controller up and down. I noticed some people think you have to move the controller up to go up, it actually required tilting the contoller (like a flight stick). The controller itself looks really cool and is very comfortable. The four triggers are all nicely placed. The game is broken down into 5 campaigns each with a few missions. Each campaign has multiple mission types. There are much more missions than expected. The first Campaign is pretty easy and even young kids can beat it with ease. It helps that the ships that are preparing to fire highlight red. The later campaigns get pretty difficult and challenging for even veteran gamers. All the campaigns, except for the final once are available from the beginning which is nice. Once you beat a campaign, you can choose to replay any of the specific missions. The mission types are varied enough to keep things interesting. Standard rail shooter modes allow you to control the reticle only, there are modes controlling the ship only and avoiding obstacles such as astroid fields, missions that require you to destroy ground and air targets, and more. Overall a great game and value. Just don't expect a game on par with wii, 360, or ps3 games.

My 8yo son is a huge Star Wars fan and this has been the perfect game for him. It's self-contained, simple to connect and has had excellent performance (visuals, motion sensor, sounds) -- He loves it! It also has several "campaigns" so it is easy to get to a "stopping point" when his "game time" is up. Another great feature is its price; it's affordable and he was able to purchase it with his own money, which I feel increases his appreciation for his game. Highly recommend!

I bought this toy for my 11 year old son because he is a Star Wars fan through and through. He thinks this game is AWESOME! I have to admit, I really like playing it too!

You get what you pay for, but with this plug-n-play, you get a little bit more. Numerous missions are in this game, some of which are a bit repetitive, but all in all great fun for most ages. This was purchased for a 6 year old who still enjoys it a great deal. The controller is quite responsive to the movements you execute, whether it be navigating your ship through the trenches or an asteroid belt, or if it involves moving your gunner as you fire at the empire battleships.

The graphics are very A-B-C, so don't expect PS2/Wii/Xbox type visuals, which would be ridiculous considering the low price. But when projected on a wall or on an HD TV, the game draws you in and the sound-effects are solid. Great buy, especially for Star Wars fans young and old.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my oldest nephew who just turned six. Although he already has several Star Wars video games for Wii, I decided to get this for him because it's more of a classic arcade-style first-person shooter as opposed to the other games he has. It was a gamble because I was thinking he might be a little jaded, but the gamble payed off as he has been playing it as often as his other games.
Looks fun, I might ask him if I could play it:)

This toy I purchased for my Son to replace one that was bought for X-mas and damaged by a guinea pig. (The animal bit the wire in half.) The game is fun to play. The batteries take a while to become used up. My Son has lots of fun with this game even a year later. The toy was well worth the money.

MY NEPHEW LOVES THIS GAME. I love it because you can take it anywhere and plug in into any TV.

was given to an eight year old girl for Christmas, and this toy is not played much.

We just had Christmas yesterday and my grandson was very disappointed to receive a broken toy.
It had no instructions in the box and it was obvious that the box had been opened previously and resealed.
I thought I was buying a new toy based on the price comparison I had done. NOw I'll have to return it if you
will give me the info so I can.
Buying from the stores is better.
Easy return and doesn't cost me anything.
