This game is serious fun.

I stayed up waaaaaaay too late playing it and now I'm exhausted.

I kind of thought you called in sick to work today to play.

I didn't get to buy it last night, probably friday.

The boss battles just LOOK amazing -- going with the God of War button combos was definitely the right move. I didn't play a lick of the game, but I watched my roommate play it for nearly 5 hours.

Every review I've read rips it and the G4 review showed some major flaws, walking past troopers and them not even reacting to you and not being able to walk through open doors, along with parts of the game just not working at all on the last level, they said it was like they just quit near the end.

I played the first three levels last night and I didn't notice any problems.

Awesome. I have that and the Wii but I think I want to go with the 360.

I haven't played it but they were showing clips of the character walking past storm troopers and the trooper was just standing there doing nothing, and then they ripped a door open with the force and they couldn't walk through it. And I guess there are screens where you optimize your powers and check objectives and stuff and they had screen shots from the last level and some boxes read "default text" instead of the mission text or whatever. I think they gave it 1 star out of 5 saying the gameplay wasn't that great either. EGM gave it a C+. That and a couple other bad reviews have me avoiding it, I may rent it eventually though. I did play some of the demo I got from Xbox live and I thought the camera sucked and made it hard to move shit around with the force at times.

I went with the 360 version because I haven't bought a game for that platform since GTA4.

I've been playing the Wii more than anything lately.

THey said the main problem with the Wii version is that it is ugly. The duel mode is said to extend the gameplay quite a bit though.

For the other versions, the game is said to be short, around 10 hours if you take your time. I'll probably rent it eventually or wait till it drops in price.

I cant wait to rent this game. I rent all games before I buy them.

Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough to notice these things yet. But from what I've played so far, I'm really enjoying it.

I don't usually play these kinds of games, but I played the demo and I really liked it, plus the whole Star Wars theme makes it fun.
