Yeah, this is awesome! It finally gives us insight into the upgrade system (it's a shame they didn't even enter the lightsaber customization menu to show us how it's laid out) and more of their level design which is looking very varied and creative....  [Read More]

Considering the game and novel are both originally written in English, I'd say Galen Marek. Last time I heard, the game doesn't actually have that name in it. They only threw it into the novel to give the author more stuff to play with....  [Read More]

I say the PSP version looks great. It'll be nowhere near as good an experience as the PS360 version, but it'll definitely be a great PSP game. It's a shame there'll only be 5 Historic Missions though. Those are the main reason I'll get the PSP versio...  [Read More]

My only complaint is that the demo was short. Otherwise, the demo was even better than I expected it to be. I couldn't imagine they'd get the Force Grip controls down so well. When you've learned how to use it, it's probably the best controller layo...  [Read More]

In the Jedi Knight games, many enemies also had sabers, and therefore were harder to kill, and therefore died in one hit to prevent the game from being too difficult. Since it's not that easy to actually get a hit in, it only takes one to kill. In TF...  [Read More]

There is more depth than that to the melee combat though. Just in the demo (and the full game is sure to have more through upgrades, as the devs have said), you can make up to a 4-hit combo. Pausing between the saber attacks will yield different att...  [Read More]
