For those of you that havn't bought the game yet, I'd say don't bother. Sure, the screenshots look good, and so does the movies. I was actually quite excited about this game when I saw the movies and screenshots, but when I hired it out and played it, I thought that I had wasted my $8.
The first few seconds of playing it was quite nice, but then when I tried to altar the camera, my excitement died. The camera is very annoying in this game, you can't move it around.
Gameplay was ok for the first 20 minutes or so, but after that it gets repetitive and quite boring. I got bored with the game in less than an hour. After you have executed a combo, you can't pull it back, which makes things quite difficult and annoying. Here is a short summary of the gameplay: ‘Block-slash-slash-force-block-lose or win’. Sure, the multiplayer sounds cool, but heck, it's one of the worst I've played. There is an extremely long and annoying pause after each attack on most characters, which makes you vulnerable to attacks, and it doesn't require much skills. Just some constant non-stop hits on buttons and you win.
I give it 2 stars. 1 for their effort into making this game, and the second one for the graphics.
If you're looking for a good Star Wars game, don't go for this one. Wait until Battlefront 2 or something, unless you're a Star Wars game collector, otherwise, don't bother. If you're going to hire it, just hire it overnight for starters, and if you somehow like it, maybe you can think about hiring it for another night.
