The first time I played this game I was kind of bored with it. The start of the game is a first person shooter and I didn't find it that fun. It started getting alot more fun once I got the force powers and the light saber. Force powers include force push,pull, time speed, lightning, heal, choke and Jedi Mind Trick. As you progress through the game you get more force powers and your force powers become more powerfull, like force jump1 and force jump 2. Once you are a more powerful Jedi it is really fun battling the evil Reborns. There are lots of cool puzzles that you have to figure out as well. I liked the giant three dimensional puzzle where you have to jump all over the place. Near the end you also get cooler weapons and you get to use and Imperial Walker. If you are a Star Wars fan you will love this game. If you are an action game fan, give it a little while and once you get past the beginning, I'm sure you find it a very entertaining game.
