Me too. It wasn’t the worst game in the history of suck or anything, but after all the hype about the physics system and how you would really feel like you were controlling a powerful Sith it turned out to be ...just ...mediocre. The physics system was ok, but considering what it was touted as it massively underperformed, and the supposed most powerful force user ever has to repeatedly hack his way through even a measley stormtrooper.

I believe the fashionable term with teh internetz kidz would be 'Epic Fail'.


I’m looking at this thread and I see nothing that warrants worthless opinions that everyone wishes weren’t present. Meaning either give a valid opinion on the game other than “worst game in the history of suck” or don’t post at all.

Okay, as you may have guessed from my name, I like the Necrons. In fact:

1. Necrons (AWSOME. They’re what got me hooked)
2. Tau (I like the lesser known races. Even if they are crybabies.)
3 Space marines (Hell, they’re just killer)
4. Eldar (Debonair cool)
5. Orks (Comic value)
6. IG (Kinda whiny... but those tanks...)
7. Chaos (Use your head)
8. Dark Eldar (EVIL)
9. Sisters of Battle (Fanatics. I’m an atheist.)

I’ll have to try it out. I heard it was a bit of a letdown, though.

Zucas: Did you even read my post properly? I believe I stated that the game was NOT the “worst game in the history of suck”, and then went on to state an OPINION that I am completely entitled to in a thread where several others have voiced their opinion on the game so far. If you don’t like that then, well, I don’t care, deal with it. Frankly I’m sick of the arrogance you display around here, grow up.

Necron Lord: I apologise, I made an assumtion based on your participation in a multitude of “Imperium of Man Vs..." threads. I stick by my views on the Space Marines, they could happily vanish and the 40k universe wouldn’t lose anything in my eyes, but I’m glad to see you’re a fellow Tau Sympathiser grin

Awh why don’t you cry about it. You really think I care what your response to that was haha.

I believe I misread it but if you simply worded it better it may have not caused as much confusion. Try to expand your vocabulary outside of world of suck whether positive or negative.

Well I just played the first few lvls of the Wii version. It’s pretty good, I’d say that the gameplay is pretty much the exact same. I like the boss fights more on the Wii but I like the hack and slash gameplay style more on the 360/PS3. All the versions even out like Zucas said.

But there was one thing I noticed which was kinda a bummer. The Wii version’s cutscenes are kinda...well sad. I mean it tells the same amazing story and all but there is no facial expression in the chracters and the voice acting wasn’t as good as it was on the 360/PS3 version.

Other than that though, the game is great on any version.

Yea as I said the versions each have their good and bad points and kinda evens out.

And yea Wii version voice acting is pretty bad. Probably comes from the cutscenes being slightly altered so they got the actors to do it real quick but oh well.

Obviously irony is lost on you Zucas. While I do believe that one’s vocabulary is always open to expansion, I happen to have a Master’s Degree in Creative and Critical Writing. If you didn’t see my post for what it was then I’m afraid that would be a product of you own limitations and your haste to stride in imperiously and act like an ass (to coin a technical term) in the belief that your Moderator status renders you somehow immune to backlash.

It wasn’t just the voice acting, but the lack of facial expression and body movement. But that is because they used ingame cutscenes.

They had shipped over 4.3 million worldwide but apparently this hasn’t been enough and they’ve been shipping even more to help meet demand. Obviously this title is a huge success and the fastest selling Star Wars game ever.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/912/912714p1.html

The title released across all major platforms and I have no idea how the sales went. Best guess is 360 took most of the sales while PS3 and Wii version sales were about the same. And that was probably 80% of the sales and the rest to the PSP, PS2, and DS versions. Good to hear. This game is so awesome.


To bad the game sucked aparently
