Can't see it until the weekend, but Jesus Christ this game is in for a severe rectal assault from Yahtzee.

 

[xombine]

Breakdancing!

''both your arms tied to different windmills''

oh lol.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Game was good, Yahtzee is a gigantic ******.

Edit: Nevermind, he shat Wii version. It's all good then.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

the game was **** on ps3 as well

The game was decent.

He's right about the lightsaber though, even on consoles with a decent controller it sucks. It feels like your beating someone with a stick and I rarely managed to accurately control what I wanted to do with it beyond a few basic moves.

But the force powers are well done and easy to control, the art design is great, and the story is better than we're used to with Star Wars properties (they didn't spend any time on character development though).

From a Star Wars nerd perspective it pisses me off that this guy is a ****ing god, and should by all accounts be able to pick Yoda up and fling him into orbit judging by what we see in the game. I mean it gets really ridiculous (and very inconsistent, even from scene to scene).

But whatever, don't take it too seriously and it's a lot of fun to run around throwing people off cliffs and electrocuting stuff.

"...and played an Anakin Skywalker vs. Darth Vader battle to completely f*ck up the canon"
Lolz were had.
Yahtzee is amazing, I want an autograph.

 

[Jintor]

That was pretty cool.

 

[Kyorisu]

Michael Atkinson, nice.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

He's got a point though.
Lucas needs a coloring book.

 

[hot564231]

No ad's again, I'm impressed.

 

[Hazard.Squared]

Very, very good.

Wii versionis ****, many lulz were had

 

[Xaxor]

Why does everyone complain about the ads? It was obviously a temporary thing.

Yahtzee has a great attitude.

 

[hot564231]

How was it obviously a temporary thing?


How do you say, explain? [/thick russian accent]

Hmmm, I would have liked to hear his take on the 360 or PS3 version.

He seemed to be hinting that he liked the look of the latter, but I'm sure he'd have found something to hate.

I think the excessive quick time events in the 360/PS3 version would have made his blood pressure rise.

Summed up perfectly:

Anyway, I got the chance to watch it last night. The breakfast/plague rat bit had me crying with laughter.
