Probably the best Star Wars game so far
There are so many great aspects of this game, mainly, the amazing lightsaber combat. Any Star Wars fan will have hoped to live the fantasy of owning their own lightsaber, and this game is as close as it gets. The combinations of fighting styles, from lightsaber to various force powers, are incredible.


The customisation options in this game are also impressive. You can customise the colour of your ship, droid, clothes, and most importantly, your lightsaber. There are various options for the saber, from the colour and style of the handle, to the colour of the blade.
 
Another impressive aspect of the game is the quality and depth of the story. Set a few years after the events of Episode III, it follows a young jedi named Cal, who is on the run from the Inquisitors who are hunting down any remaining jedi. The game features flashbacks to a younger Cal in training, which helps the player to learn new force powers. One negative I found was that some of the early missions in the story seem to drag slightly. There seems to be a lot of climbing and jumping between ledges, without much of the impressive action that features later in the game.

However, this a small negative in a very impressive game, and the tempo of the story does pick up later on. Reaching an amazing final mission, which (no spoilers) in my opinion features one of the best video game cut scenes I've seen.

I would highly recommend this game.
