Why does this new star wars game have explosive barrels. And why is my lightsaber not cutting through anything. Its a freking lightsaber.
Jedi Knight had a T rating and it let you cut limbs Dammit.

I got a chance to play it this morning, good thing it was short or I would have been late to work! It's pretty fun, smashing enemies and blowing doors down was sweet. I can't wait for the full game.

I'm really looking forward to the game. Although I know it's release is very soon, LucasArts should think about fixing the camera a bit as it doesn't really flow well enough with the game. I found myself having to constantly adjust the camera in order to see who I was fighting. Also, is it just me, or does the frame rate seem a little out of wack? The force grip targeting system is a little weak. Besides that, I had fund playing the demo. I would give it an 8/10

"for all to enjoy"
WRONG. You mean "for all GOLD MEMBERS to enjoy".
Luckily, I had a free Gold account month card laying around, so I'm downloading this, but anyone out there who is Silver isn't going to get it for a while yet.
Not very nice, MS. I can't see how that helps LucasArts sell the game.

you could always download the demo from the internetz and burn it to a DVD5

I never understood how people cant get around this. Just make a new Gamertag (they automatically get a month of gold) and delete it when your done. Maybe if Microsoft gets flooded with 10,000 GtagtoplaySWFU XX they'll quit making it so you have to be a gold member to download demos initially. I did it a couple of times when my account was only a silver account
But anyways the game is awesome. I only got to play for 20 minutes or so before work. Its the reason I was late this morning

Teabag said...
^^That isn't always feasible. MS only allows you to make this many accounts on one system. Then what?
I am a silver member myself and have no problem waiting a week to download stuff. At least the hype created by Triple-A title demos will wear off allowing me faster downloads, i believe.
Luckily, i had won a 1 month Gold pass from the GTA Sweepstakes that took place before the game released. So i am getting the demo now. It expires on August 27th!

Pretty fun demo, but yeah, it's short.
Favorite bits: destructible environment (windows, support legs in the assembly area that you can use to snag TIE fighters, etc.) AND tossing Stormtroopers into each other.
Least favorite bit: Target button is mapped to RB, which is pretty awkward. Should be on LB or LT. Hopefully, the buttons can be remapped in the full version.

Favorite part: the entire thing until the last 2 seconds.
Least favorite part: being surprised by a QTE in the last 2 seconds.
Do we really need God of War style garbage like this? Sequenced button pressing is the scourge of gaming, IMO.

Dano said...
I have to agree with myxoid65, this is a glorified button masher. Yes, it's looks pretty sweet, but it like Mortal Kombat with lightsabers (which cannot cut through anything) and the Force. Sounds awesome, but this is yet another upcoming game I'm passing on. Maybe when it goes under $30, I take the plunge.

Some valid criticisms here. The biggest is the impotence of his lightsaber. Maybe you get that master-blaster mamma-jamma from SC IV with glowy hands and stuff.
Still, I had a blast playing this, and love the
somewhat GTA +DMC gameplay. I am sure this game is not totally sandboxed, but I think for the money it is better than alot of action RPGs I have seen so far.

Demo seemed like fun to me, Chad Vader came across as an affable guy, and Starkiller's cloth doesn't clip much that I saw. I hope the fabric physics are up to snuff in this one, considering all of the cloaks and loose robes we'll see in the skins. Tossing crap at passing TIE fighters was fun.
Seems like a sort of God Of War meets Anakin Skywalker game, complete with minigame boss kills.
Star Wars: FU (Because 'The' doesn't deserve recognition in anagrams..and it's funnier that way) seems like a fun game, but I can predict it'd be a better rental for me. Based on the upcoming games' competition, (I have 12 titles I'm planning to buy within 3 month's time!,) I'd probably not come back to this one after I'd beat it once or twice and got my Achievements.

Would have been better if it was rated M. I miss the good old days of limbs flying off of storm troopers, and dead bodies actually staying visible.

The Good:
* Amazing physics engine.
* Fun beat-em-up gameplay.
* Lots of fun tossing people and objects around.
Starkiller is a badass.
* Chad Vader does the best Vader in a game ever.
* Throwing droids through windows/ports is fun.
The Bad:
* Sequenced button "Simon Game" segments (I just got done doing that over and over in Mass Effect, dammit!)
* Lightsaber must be low-wattage padawan version (No cutting? No dismembering? No slicing through objects? Is everything in this game made of cortosis or beskar? Are the stormtroopers wearing beskar'gam?)
* Silly power-ups spoil the immersion (Look! A glowing pyramid! Grab it!)
* So fast-paced, it feels like a Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden game (yes, that's bad in my book. Those games are utterly mindless beat-em-ups.)
* Doesn't come out for another month!

And yes, thank you Bryant:
Con:
* Bodies fade away. Are the stormtroopers taking lessons from Yoda and Kenobi now?

It's goof fun but not amazing. The QTE for the AT-ST completely sucks, though. At least the second hardest difficulty requires you to damage it a fair bit first.
