    If you don't mind missing out on cooperative play, and if the 3D dogfight addition appeals to you, it's certainly worth the extra ten bucks.

    Not only is it a blast to play, but its presentation is over-the-top and in your face. The music. The graphics. The combat. The SPOILERS!!!

    The best action game available for the DS today, bar none.

    The best portable game in the franchise to date (it annihilates "LEGO Star Wars" for the GBA). Impressive. Most impressive. [July 2005, p.98]

    Revenge of the Sith may not go down as an all-time classic, but the innovative gameplay, excellent sound effects, and smooth graphics make it an enjoyable video game foray into the world of Star Wars.

    As a fan of brawlers and Star Wars, I loved this game. The space combat offers a bit of variety to keep the casual gamer interested. The brawling portions are top notch, so fans of Golden Axe, the Turtles series, and the X-Men arcade game will be very pleased with the action in this title, especially if you’re a Star Wars fan.

    The aerial combat missions are a joy to see and almost steal the show, promising greater things to come (taking down AT-ATs in snow speeders I hope!) particularly when you can go head to head against your mates.

    I put out a big thank you to Ubisoft for not just cashing in on the Star Wars name and actually making a good game that all can enjoy.

    A strong beat’ em up sidescroller with some amazing 3D starfighter missions on the side.

    While it plays like the GBA version, the DS gets good multiplayer action worth the purchase price alone.

    Though it comes off feeling low-tech (and it is, really), Revenge of the Sith for the DS is more or less on equal footing with the GBA version it shares so much in common with. The 3D multiplayer mode may well be worth the $10 price difference...but only if you’ve got friends to play it with.

    The space combat in the DS version may not look pretty in still screens, but in action these sequences are a great surprise.
  14. WHAM! Gaming

    The only big problems with the game itself are that it isn't all that long, and it doesn't take advantage of the dual screens.

    The balance of enemies is deftly tuned to not hold you in one place for too long. [June 2005, p.86]

Its graphics are poor, the gameplay is dull, and the controls are basic! This game is only good on Xbox and PS2. This is a type of game for Gameboy Color except battling with starships. If you're a big Star Wars fan, go ahead and buy this. But be warned!… Full Review »
