Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (PS2, Xbox)

May 26th 2005 | Games Consoles

TrustedReviews takes a look at Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith for the PS2 and Xbox (PS2 version reviewed), summing it up as a "fan souvenir" and an "empty and unsatisfying exercise in Jedi combat":

Star Wars-obsessives will want Revenge of the Sith for the cut-scenes, but this is the game equivalent of the sticker book or the poster magazine – a fun souvenir, but that’s all. There is potential for a great game in Jedi combat, as we’ve glimpsed occasionally in the Jedi Knight games on PC, but this isn’t it. With two Lord of the Rings games, EA took a similar combat-based tack but added enough strategy to make things interesting, and at least these games felt imbued with something of the spirit of the films. With Revenge of the Sith, LucasArts has just produced a dull Star Wars game with an empty centre. Go and see the film, by all means, but do you really have to buy this unlovable game?
