What's the word on this? ANY word on this? I'd like to buy a new game for my Wii system, but there is so little I'm interested in that's coming out.
IGN posted a hands-on late last month.
While not a full on review (and I've yet to find any), it had good & not really bad to say.
Looks wise and overall gameplay/features, they found a very polished game. OTOH, the fact that it uses very simple waggle controls (that had them a little tired after a while) coupled with other elements & observations showed that the game is somewhat kid-targeted.
Of course, this is a tie in w/ a cartoon movie/series aimed @ kids (moreso that the 6 SW films), so I expected that. "Chuck stick moves you, Wiimote handles 5 basic motions that transfer to moves on screen. Not 1:1 control of lightsaber moves.
As a longtime SW fan, I am wanting to check this out. But it may be a rental.
Unlike Force Unleashed's Wii Duel Mode, this one does feature single player & a story mode that follows the plot of the theatrical "pilot" to the TV show.
But if you really crave a truly visceral saber experience w/ your Wiimote, IGN says wait, as LucasArts/Krome Studios are working on a SW Wii title to incorporate WiiMotion Plus to be issued sometime in '09.
