Star Wars 3 Review
Slashing… flying… and using the force… the 3 best things about Star Wars: ROS DS. I haven’t played many side-scrollers, but I like this one the most. It is a lot like the old Ninja Turtles arcade game that I love. But just hacking at droids with a light saber can get boring, that’s where Jedi powers come in; you customize your Jedi(either Obi-wan or Anakin) to have the force powers and special moves that you want. Every time you beat a level to can add stats to your Jedi. Both Jedi are different: Obi-wan is not as aggressive as Anakin. Obi-wan mainly uses the force to heal, block, push and pull for him. Anakin, on the other hand, uses the force as a Sith, being more aggressive and using it to choke, to attack more severely with his gaining rage, and throw to his light saber.
The game play seems to follow the movie plot and is some times too fast and sometime too slow. There are things popping out of doors, flying through the air, and dropping from the sky. Sometimes you are so busy wiping the floor with droid parts, that you forget to pick up heath packs and force boosts. Now to the best part of the game: the dogfights in the sky. These are awesome… even though that each player must have a copy of the game it is well worth buying the game to challenge 3 other friends to space war! You can still play by your self and customize 3 other bots to compete against. You also have the choice of playing against a past present, or future Star Wars characters, such as Darth Vader, General Grievous, Boba Fett or even Han Solo, and if you beat them then you can fly in their ship. You can configure the amount of kills (a.k.a frags), the length, enemy ships, the difficulty, and choose from one of 8 different areas.
The graphics are mainly cartoon inspired but are very vivid and fit the game well. The backgrounds are bright but some times get a bit monotonous after trying to beat them man times. In the beginning of the game the famous word scrolling from all the movies comes and explains the game (it’s very cool).
The sound is very smooth and sounds great. It sounds as if you were listening to the movie’s soundtrack. There are many different songs played including The Imperial March, Darth Vader’s theme song, and the Star Wars theme song.
It has little innovation except for the graphics of the dogfights and has a good use of the touch screen while flying (you control the hull and to view either your heath or engine heat or to see the enemy’s whereabouts). This game is a must for anyone who loves side-scrollers, enjoys flight simulators, or wants to blast your friends into hyper space.
My ratings:
· Presentation: 8.0
· Game play: 8.5
· Graphics: 8.5
· Sound: 9.5
· Lasting time: 8.0
· Multi-player: 9.0
Overall an 8.5. A very good game, good job Ubisoft, I have high expectations for your next game. A very good use of the DS’s graphic capabilities and a good game for the Star Wars geek of the world (like myself)

Second Opinion: Star Wars Episode 3:
Very well produced, even if it is the same as the GBA Counterpart.
Reminds me very much of the old SNES platformers and Beat 'em Up's.
7.5/10

I'd easily give the game a 9 or 9.5/10. It's awesome, even for someone not a Star Wars fan. it kinda makes you one, though. :P
