Excersice in tediousness
This is more of a commentary than a proper review, as such excuse the English and possible lack of coherency. Fairly linear Star Wars focused combat game with very lackluster combat. Combat revolves around destroying Imperium an rebels mooks around effortlessly. Boss fights are fairly limited, every boss has a weakness aginst some force power and trying to defeat them with anything but that is tedious as hell which ultimately is my main complaint. the combat is ridiculously tedious. When playing on easy difficulty the game is way too easy ('duh) but when playing on hard difficulty it is still too easy but it takes around 5-10 seconds to kill anything, slashing stormtroopers with light-saber and frying them with lightning for a long periods of time is frankly utterly disatisfying. AI is beyond retarded, enemies will happily shoot others of their own team in the back with a rocket if the in the way. Then the are combat mechanics themselves, which are way too unresponsive, considering the enemies can very easily stun lock you and kill you. Then there's the stupid physics, where when you, during dodging, smash into something half of the bloody map explodes (I'm exaggerating slightly, but not by much), it's beyond overdone. Add to the fact that you get stuck because of small debris is in your way and you'll soon find yourself wishing the were no physics at all, or atleast substantially toned down. Force powers are quite cool, but nowhere near as useful, most of the time it's better to use saber attacks infused with force lighting as it's generally most useful, it stuns the opponent a does a lot of damage and going through the game using only force does get boring quickly. Technically the game has horrible 30fps lock which does also contribute to perceived lack of responsiveness. I had also experienced atleast 10 CTD during the game. The are sudden slowsdowns during gameplay or better yet, suddenly the game fps jumps to 60 for a second or two, add an occasional tearing here and there and I can't play this for more than an hour before my eyes hurt. I wont't comment on writing much as I consider it absolutely terrible drivel which makes no sense whatsoever. Not sure who the story is targeted for, 12 year olds? Perhaps an average Star Wars fan? Anyway, I' rather not pay much attention to it. Frankly I can't find much good about the game, visuals are alright, sound is actually pretty good. But ultimately the gameplay and most importantly saber combat is terrible and the rather cool overcharged force power effects simply can't save it. About the only thing I found quite entertaining were the DLC missions, not only was the difficulty pumped up a bit but it was kinda fun to destroy Obi-Wan and other Star Wars characters. Do yourself a favor and play Dark Forces series, or atleast Jedi Outcast which outclassed this joke of a game in every department.
Hilft dir das weiter?
