I bought the iPhone and XBox 360 versions on Tuesday. I love the 360 version and have been playing it every night for a couple hours.
If you don’t know what it is about already, I will tell you. The story is about a boy named Starkiller that Darth Vader takes under his wing to teach him the ways of the dark side. The difference with this from other Star Wars games, is that the use of the force is unlike anything that has ever been done. You can lift, throw, electrocute and a variety of other force attacks. As you progress through the game, you learn more of these force powers. You do all of this while using the touch screen to control your attacks and defenses.
The iPhone version is great in its own way. I do agree with a lot of what has been said already about it. It does seem a bit hokey at times. The fact that Leia looks like a drag queen made me crack up out loud. Not to mention that the lightning looks like the gag snakes that come out of the peanuts can.
What it lacks it makes up for in many other ways. The touch screen moves are a lot of fun. This kind of game control I found to be very addictive and very easy to use once I remembered all of the controls. The detail of the backgrounds was very picturesque. The difficulty even on normal seemed to be enough to keep you interested.
After beating it on normal in a couple hours, I switched to hard. And hard it is. I found myself having to play scenes over and over because there was so much going on and it was all happening so quickly. (still making my way through it)
Over all, I would say get this game if you want to try something new. It is definitely different than anything I have played yet. Or get it because you like Star Wars. Just get it.
