Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The Clone Wars continue to rage between the Republic and the Separatists. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has been taken hostage, and Obi-Wan, together with Anakin, must rescue him! The Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith games for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS systems allow players to experience the stunning Jedi action of the movie. Developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio, each version leverages the strengths of its handheld platform to produce the ultimate Jedi action experience. The control of multiple heroes, devastating Force powers, and never-before-seen locations are just a few of the elements in store!

Features:

• Control multiple heroes, use devastating Force powers, and witness never-before-seen locations
• Battle against real Star Wars heroes and villains, including General Grievous, Mace Windu, and Count Dooku
• Discover fantastic Jedi abilities and powers, including the Force Push and Jedi Mind Trick
• Use the advanced customization system to build your character as you venture through the game
• Challenge friends to cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes for both GBA and DS

Product Description
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Ubisoft put its Montreal handheld team to task in reproducing situations and scenarios on the handheld systems. Episode III is putting players in the role of either Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi as they lightsaber-slash their way through more than a dozen levels of droid and clone army-infested areas. It's a hack-and-slash affair, but the development team has put a lot of focus into the characters' unique weapon-handling abilities; both characters feel different because of their different styles of combat.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe I like this, June 7, 2005

By	D. K. Malone (earth) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

One of my most hated things is movie-licensed video games. I avoid them like the clap. However, there were two extenuating circumstances that caused me to buy this:

1) I love Star Wars, and I love Episode III. When I saw it for the third time, the theater was right next door to Electronics Boutique's flagship store. (at Universal CityWalk) After the movie, we went into EB to look around while I was still high on Ep. III Fever.

2) My DS has been doing nothing but collecting dust over the last few months because there are so few worthwhile games for it so far.

So yeah, I bought this even though I expected it to be a piece of poop. Surprisingly, I've had lots of fun with it. It's an old school side-scrolling beat-em-up, it's extremely repetetive, and it's short. Yet it somehow managed to keep me interested for a number of hours, even beyond completing the game with both characters on Jedi difficulty. I think one major factor is the skill/ability system. I didn't expect there to be so many options in combat for a little game like this. I've noticed a lot of people think the 3D flying levels are the game's one saving grace, but not me. They aren't bad, but they were so incredibly short that they just didn't make any difference to me. I much prefer running around with a lightsaber, chopping up battle droids and cutting down clone troopers, other Jedi, and Nemoidians. Also of note, the sound is surprisingly good. The lightsabers actually sound authentic and deadly.

A previous reviewer said: "Theres no use for the touch screen!"

*bzzzt* Incorrect. You can use the touch screen to activate your super attacks. You just touch the icons, instead of manually using the D-pad and buttons.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Awsome!!!!!!!! , December 5, 2005

By	Jason Ds "Luigi" (hawaii) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is one of my favorite games. You can go in space ships of all kinds. I realy like Darth Vader's tie fighter (I know his ship sucks, but I've always liked ties). You can also unlock new kinds of ships like the X-wing and Slave 1. Besides those two there are many many more. The misson mode is realy fun also. I like the way how you can use the touch screen to do super moves. There are also many force moves you can use. The best part about the single player is slashing your enimies with your lightsaber and then using force moves to finish them off. If you are a nintendo and star wars fan I reccomend you get this game. And one more thing, PSP sucks. The NINTENDO DAUL SCREEN (or DS) rocks dis house. All the people who said this game is a 4 star or higher are very COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DYLAN

4.0 out of 5 stars Some corners cut, overall a good game., May 22, 2005

By	Man of Video Games - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The single player mode is an arcade-style type. The faces are more like over exaggerated cartoons than the real faces. It is a 2D plane (right moves the character forward through the "hallway", up moves the charcter to the characters left in the "hallway," etc.) It's best feature is the Multi- Player. it had the classic 3D arcade feel (just like the game in the arcades where u sit in the chair and u have one joystick) u can face off against classic characters and new characters, like luke skywalker, anakin skywalker, han solo, darth vader, and unlock ships such has the x wing, vader's ty fighter, the millenium falcon (o ya, once u unlock those ships, u can use them against ur friends and completly own *Hint* get the millenium falcon. its the best ship. i beat solo with the x wing) if ur friends are getting this, get it for its multiplayer!!
