The Review

This is a fairly enjoyable game. Nice graphics. Good characters. Other have said it, and I agree: the saber movements are not mirrored by the movement of the Wii control. If that was the case, I'd give this 5 stars.

Once you figure out that the sword play is like that in real sword combat, based on distance and timing, it becomes much more interesting on the combat front.

I bought this one at full price, but it is available now used or at lower prices. I would not recommend it at the $39+ range, but under $25, it is worth picking up.
