Bring another rogue squadron out Lucasarts!

i might buy it on the 360 and Wii, the games are meant to be differant on each platform.

Hmm, kinda unimpressive. When I imagined using the wii mote thing as a lightsabre, I imagined a first person perspective with direct control over the lightsabre, not simply moving it in certain directions to perform moves. Maybe it's too much to ask of this generation.

it's a multiformat game, so it would be kind of hard.

I think it could be hit or miss really, i will wait and see nearer the time.
 
It's hard to do 1:1 first person perspective lightsaber games. What happens if for instance, you hit a wall with your lightsaber, or your strike gets parried/blocked? There's nothing to make your wiimote stop just as your lightsaber in the game was stopped midstrike.
 
Something akin to RE4 Wii Edition would work quite well though.
I know not really a 1st person, more 3rd person the over the shoulder, but i think that would work quite well.

? Why would the wiimote have to stop in the real world? It could just disable movement in game whilst it plays an animation for the block/parry..etc
 
First things first, that really looks fun imho. I hope it does well, and I expect it will.

But I really, really, really am getting tired of seeing Star Wars games. Jeez, we've had about 20 years of Star Wars games. Isn't ANYONE sick to their back teeth of them by now? ARGH.
 
Sorry, but I just thought the vid looked average. It was a 1on1 beat em up set in the star wars world with wiimote controls. Big deal, not that new! From what was said in the vid, it sounded like the controls were simply mapped to actions. Jabbing the wiimote makes you jab. But does doing a quick jab and swipe do just that? I guess we will have to wait and see.

The thing is, watch this trailer and now which looks the best?

Edit: I found another trailer that shows all the different versions and what they are doing on each. They show a little Wii stuff which looks good, but it does highlight how the controls are still a dair bit off full analogue 3D control.

Duel is just a wii exclusive game mode. It still has a single player game just like the other platforms.

I disagree, Brawl is so much better, I own both and much prefer Brawl, the extra characters, the extra levels, the extra onscreen action and the extra weapons = awesome even if it only looks a bit better.
 
ROFL that video was awful!!

The controls didn't even remotely map to what they were doing on screen for the duel mode

They were just wobbling and shaking the remote about :D

Oh how I long for a reason to really use my Wii
 
I have Smash Bros and Mario Kart so have the current best already so Star Wars Force UNleashed is my next one :p
