    Rianna's a refreshing refrain from the traditional light-saber-wielding goon. [Mar 2007, p.66]

    Taken as a whole, Lethal Alliance lacks that variety required to keep a game engaging from start to finish.

    While this game takes place between the last and the very first Star Wars episode, I was expecting a bit more revelation in the storyline, instead it only reinforces what we already know.

    There are much better action games out on the PSP than this one, so pass it by unless you're obsessed with Star Wars.
  5. Pocket Gamer UK
    60
    Not the best Star Wars game in the canon – weak mission design and targeting issues hold it back – but it's still a fun distraction for series aficionados and PSP action adventure fans alike.
  6. GameDaily
    50
    Lethal Alliance feels outdated, thanks to boring missions and a lame two-player Ad Hoc battle mode. Furthermore, the haphazard targeting system and ghosting certainly don't help matters.
  7. The Sydney Morning Herald
    40
    Hand-held technology may be perfectly capable but this game has little of the humour, adventure and excitement you would expect from that galaxy far, far away.

    Star Wars: Lethal alliance is a great game for TRUE Star Wars fans. If your just a gamer that came to criticize this game than you came to Star Wars: Lethal alliance is a great game for TRUE Star Wars fans. If your just a gamer that came to criticize this game than you came to the wrong place. The game itself is very well put together compared to ubisofts King Kong which was a waste of time. True potential can be seen in the collaboration of these two companies. The game play is superb and the story satisfying. Works well to peek your interest in the line of George Lucas' future star wars live action television series airing somtime next year. Which takes place between Episodes III and IV. Maybe we might see this character and her droid in it too. But one can only dream. But all in all this game is great… Expand

    First time I've played a third-person adventure/shooter on the PSP that I found it easy to control and fun to pay. If you liked the SW: First time I've played a third-person adventure/shooter on the PSP that I found it easy to control and fun to pay. If you liked the SW: Jedi Knight series, this is very much in the same vein. The story is fun, the game feels right (like it was not forced in to the PSP control scheme), and is quite addictive; take note, it's a much nicer control scheme than the SW: Battlegrounds II game (which I found very difficult to control).… Expand

    "Star Wars: Lethal Alliance" is set between Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope, and focuses on a new hero. Rianna is a Twilek bounty hunter"Star Wars: Lethal Alliance" is set between Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope, and focuses on a new hero. Rianna is a Twilek bounty hunter who gets involved with the Alliance, a resistance group, and becomes involved with a secret mission to steal the plans to the Death Star. The game's graphics, while not perfect, are passable with the extremely entertaining levels of gameplay.
    The length of the game is perfect. Not too long, and not too short. If you're a fan of the film series, and an avid player of video games, check this one out.    … Expand

    We have to start this review by saying it is a wonder this game exists. Set right before the events of A New Hope and years before Rouge OneWe have to start this review by saying it is a wonder this game exists. Set right before the events of A New Hope and years before Rouge One the premise of this game revolves around the discovery of the Death Star which is quite interesting. Although this cannon as well as other EU lore was scrapped in the Disney merger it represents a time where the Star Wars EU was kind of the Wild West.

    Lethal Alliance was built as a game meant to be enjoyed on a handheld portable which certainly influences this review. The main character Rianna is an acrobat / assassin / mercenary who is not force sensitive and alas does not wield a saber. Clever combat controls which include auto-lock aiming allow the combat to center around movement and slow-motion flipping around the stage while pew-pewing which is very engaging and fun. It is rare to see a system developed because of limitations shine in such a way. All roses have their thorn and in this case it is the difficulty of disengaging the auto-lock-on for more precise control of the camera. In some situations flipping away leads to flipping to your death or into walls and other obstacles. It can be comical but also frustrating, particularly in boss battles where the system completely falls apart. These encounters feel built for another control scheme entirely which is a shame because with some thought they could have really played into the games strengths.

    Despite its many frustrations, lackluster story, general lack of polish and absolutely unforgivable treatment of Wookie faces (don’t even want to see those teef) - there is still a lot to enjoy about Lethal Alliance. Trips to familiar planets and some familiar characters ground an uncompelling tale but the droid companion is cute and full of save-the-day energy. Who needs the force when you can acrobatically flip into someone with a knife, you know?    … Expand

    This game has linear level designs and has a twitchy camera. The game is drab and boring. The worst part is the shortness of the game.
