Let's face it Star Wars is the perfect game for motion controls. The inspirational issue here is timing. It's clear Microsoft is trying to fend off the success of Nintendo and has decided to pretty much blatantly copy their success. As we can see by the review scores players like the console feel they have chosen. People who own xbox and ps3 consoles want mature and hardcore games, not this kind of presentation and choppy family/kid friendly mish mashes. So that is the issue with this game. It's kiddy, it's disjointed into multiple games and it has typical tech demo stuff within it no one wants to play, like dance offs. This is a disaster trying to change your player base mentality. I'd say typical Wii players may enjoy this title but it's unlikely it was worth the gamble trying to lure ps3 and true xbox gamers into something like this. This game is not good enough for Wii owners to abandon that system and buy an xbox. Meanwhile xbox 360 gamers are like, where's the next generation mature game I want?? As for the gameplay it's decent enough as from what I've played on kinect so far I'd probable rank this as one of the better ones it was just not delivered to match the typical 360 console owners expectations. The turorials seemed fine and the game seemed to work as it should with no calibration problems. That said, it is by no means epic or must own by anyone's standards. I'd still take some Wii motion control games ahead of this and I don't enjoy the Wii all that much. So the games not bad it's just not on the system it should be.… Expand

    Seeing Han Solo swinging his ass to his own song is something you did not asked for. And we probably do not deserve this masterpiece, but here it is. Reuniting the bois, spreading love and happiness. These **** reviews saying it's not a good game aren't wrong tho. You wouldn't call the Mona Lisa a great game either, but art.

    I have many reasons why this is one of the worst star wars games ever made. The sensor can never see your movement, the story is no story, the game modes besides that are terrible. The graphics are not too bad, but could have been way better. I just cannot recommend this game for any star wars fan.

    This "game" is a horrible disrespect towards Star Wars fans. I would call it an abomination. It fails both as Star Wars content and as a Kinect game. Unresponsive controls, the lightsaber moves are scripted, boring, repetitive gameplay and... Han Solo dancing and singing... Shame

    Story Mode and Duel: YAHOO!!! Wait a sec, you can actually TEXT and make it past the first level. BECAUSE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAVE YOUR HAND!!!
    Podracing: Fun! Great graphics and effects, but just so imprecise!
    Rancor Rampage: Pointless, but just SO fun seeing me brutally destroy this primitive village!

    Good Graphics good story line. A game for young kids. Controls are not accurate. Its a chore to play with 2 people. If your tall at all its even worse the camera most likely wont completely see you. Very disappointing waste of money. Again fun for young kids but if you expect any reality or precision at all after the tutorial you will be let down. Don't waste your time renting or buying it.

Swinging your lightsabers around, playing missions from the movies, etc. I couldn't wait for this game to come out.

What is this s**t!! this ain't the Star Wars game I was expecting! I can live with these modes, however the most disappointing thing in the game is the lightsaber movement. I hate it when you have to control the lightsaber that the game wants you to swing it. I expected to swing my lightsaber around in any motion I want and have no issues whatsoever. The figure 8 you have to do to defend yourself from incoming droids, and "boss battles" is so boring and tedious. It sucks. Even though I do not like the game modes that Lucasarts, and Terminal Reality chose, it still manages to be fun, entertaining, and gives you a good exercise. The modes are fun, but it was not what I expected from a Star Wars game.… Expand

YouMy Kinect Star Wars Review (slightly updated): The best sword fighting game to date is: not Kinect Star Wars, but is the Playstation 3 Sports Champions Gladiator game. However, Kinect Star Wars is good and is the best motion controlled Star Wars game released so far. A great Star Wars game would use the Gladiator game engine with the ability to walk around with a PS3 nav controller. You should also be able to shoot guns and use your saber with the PS3 move controller that is in the hand that is not holding the nav controller. Since the PS3 nav controller doesn't detect motion, they could use the PS3 eye to detect the motion of the hand that is holding the nav controller while still using the nav controller for the navigation of your character. If this doesn't work well, they could have you hold a second move controller in your hand instead of the nav controller and use it like a joystick by holding the move controller verticle for when your character is not moving and have you tilt it to walk your character around. (The other move controller would still be used for the saber and for shooting.) You could then force grasp or grip on to the enemy with a button and then move the controller up, down, left, right, forward, or back to control in the direction you want to throw the enemy while still being able to control your characters walking movement with the tilt of the move controller that is being used instead of the nav controller. You could also jump by just jumping, and do a flip by locking on to your enemy and jumping. You should also be able to lock on to your enemies while sabering. Force lighting would be controlled with a button. Force push would be done by pressing a button and pushing the move controller forward and force pull (or gun remove by pulling) would be done by pressing other buttons and pulling the move controller towards you. You should also be able to perform a stab backwards at the enemy by trusting the saber backward. The game would also be Similar to the Dark Forces series on the PC but be called Dark Forces 3. It should also include online play and provide more realistic and improved graphics. On to the Review of Kinect Star Wars. I give the graphics a 7. They are good but not the best. I give the Sound an 8.5. Very good. I give the gameplay a 7. Good. The kicking, jumping, dashing, and force powers work fairly well in this game. The saber, and other moves you have to do, work 95 percent of the time if you have the proper lighting, somewhat tight fitting clothing, a well tuned kinect, and you are not being hit by laser fire or attacked by enemies. The problems with the controls is that the game is on rails and the light saber combat is not as accurrate as the PS3 Gladiator sword fighting game. If I could use a nunchuck to move around with and use a very accurate motion controller to sword fight with, then the combat would be better. In addition, the boss duels you have are not as good as the duels in the PS3 Gladiator game. The reason for this is that you don't really have a choice to swipe at your opponent or block when you want to. Blocking is scripted to be your best option at certain times and swiping is selected to be your best option to win at other times. Not randomly having these activities take place makes the dueling a little dull, but not bad. (They could fix this in a patch.) You should block, do a move, and then hit your enemy with your saber randomly(not block block block block, hit hit hit hit, repeat). The Pod racing is very good but I do miss the rumble feedback from a normal controller. I give this part of the game an 8. I did not try the dancing part. The Rancor part is good and I give it a 7. The Duel only part is average and needs to be patched. I give that part a 6.0. Overall, I give the game an 8. Quite Good. If you like Star Wars you will like this game. It's a keeper.â… Expand

    This is a fun game, not for core game players, obviously, but perfectly enjoyable for what amounts to a Kinect arcade offering. I think the dancing was silly but the kids really love it. In fact, the kids (7 and 10 yrs) are very reluctant to stop playing. I would recommend this to anyone who isn't looking for a life changing game.

I mean it has all the known jedi moves (saber attacks, force grab, push, rush, flips, jumps and jump attacks, and deflecting laser blasts) plus side flips, dunks, kicks, and duels. Definitely more than enough variety to have a fun and get a good workout. LOL The space battles are also pretty fun as well. I think the only complaint I have is the campaign is too short. But those that are complaining are probably not using enough variety in their attacks and just sticking with Light saber slashes. Its more fun to mix it up by using the force and hurling rocks, boxes or other robots at the attacking horde. And as far as the other modes: My girlfriend really enjoys the dance mode, the kids(including this big one) likes the Rancor mode and pod racing. I think duels are OK. Might be a bit too hard to advance to the other characters.

    As far as other complaints and possible improvements: Missles and mines can be a bit challenging to launch every time in the space batte sequences, I'd like to see fewer checkpoints instead of insta-respawing back in action when you die when on foot - Makes the game seem too easy(though I did die quite a bit). Maybe add a few more Jedi saber attacks added after each zone completion to give a little more variety. And perhaps a defense scenario where you jump on a stationary weapon to fight off hordes of incoming enemies(basically the space controls, but on land). A blaster armed sequence would of been cool as well. Overall I'd say its a pretty decent game and definitely doesn't deserve the ripping its getting.    … Expand

Um...this is confusing. Cutscenes are weak and the story doesn't make much sense either. Podracing is hard as well. If turning right you'll turn left and vice versa. You may have to wipe off water and dirt sometimes, but you'll slam into a wall. Dancing was a weird idea. It's kind of a ripoff of Dance Central. What gave them this idea? Why? It's work really well but you'll get bored after hearing some of the lyrics. Rancor Rampage did work and it was the only mode where I had fun. You could just move your arms and legs and destroy everything. This was the only mode keeping me entertained the most and because it worked great. Lightsaber duels do NOT work. You defend, then kick them, and then attack. Rinse and repeat. This is not what we were expecting or what we wanted.

Since E3 2010-2011, we know (at least I knew) what type of game it would be - more a Arcade one than a Hardcore game. Having this on mind, I created no expectations about what whould be the gameplay: in general lines, comparing to other Kinect game, I liked it - you can use the light saber and the force with either hand (right and left, respectively), besides having other aspects of the featured movies like flying Podracers, Speedbikers, etc. but the action is pre-programmed (Semi On-Rails); The game's history cover a time period between "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" and ends during the events of "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith". The game has several chapters, divided into phases and each has a different type of gameplay, sometimes mixed: there are parts of general action (as quoted above), duel stages (where you block attacks and attack the enemy, predicting how and when / where he will strike next), destruction stages, piloting stages (which leans sideways, to ride, and forward and backward to control the speed) and dance stages, like Dance Central, but more simplified (and totally unecessary); Graphically the game is very well done, but it is very colorful and has more simplified, cartoon-like graphics, as seen in the animated Cartoon Network, or for a more practical example, as in the game Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning / Fable III - some character models are well made and more realistic, like the Yoda one, but most are more simple in design; The menus and graphic interfaces of the game totally relate to the movies, including the classic "cuts scene" between locations. The sounds and music, as one might expect, are faithful to the films, with original soundtrack and voice-overs by actors who have played roles in the actual movies - perfect in this item. The gameplay is a mixed bag: the Kinect has a good calibration, capturing well the movements, but as in all games that capture the arms, sometimes the interpretations of the positions of them are not very natural on the screen, it looks as if you were possessed; but overall, at least for me, was very responsive, even in low lighting. About the actions of gameplay with Kinect: there are actions with the arms (predominant), trunk (to go forward on foot, or ride the vehicles) and legs (kicking opponents). In the stages of action, with the right arm, the light saber is controlled in lateral movements, to cut, and in a 8 movement, and in low / high stances, to each side, in order to defend from the attacks, whereas with the left arm up and points to throw objects, and moving the left one to load a Force "Push" - with both the two, forward, you can lift and levitate heavy objects; In scenarios with many obstacles, as is done in Kinect Adventures, you do evades with the body, squats and jumps according to what is happening, and inclining the trunk forward to do a forward rush; In the vehicles, leaning sideways you control the direction, to avoid obstacles in three main positions (right, center and left), to reduce the speed, you pull your arms back, and moving them forth you Boost (to fire in the enemy vehicles in sight, you coordinate between your speed and pointing to where they are in front of you); the Dance parts, are not different from what we know from other games, but as I said before, it's a unnecessary waste of game space. Overall, this is a good Kinect games, obviously with a unique theme that alone will attract many buyers, has somewhat solid controls, but not either complex or extremely accurate (I'm still dreaming with a fighting game with a lightsaber - or any Kinect game that is more realistic and "hardcore") and has a perfect soundtrack, but with simple cartoon graphics, and do not have what almost everyone expected from the gameplay. It is a good choice of a game for Kinect, and will surely sell a lot for the brand affiliated, and with the legion of fans who Star Wars have (these game, even if you don't like it, will have a good resale value, also, the Bundle Xbox 360 also will become a "collector's item"): I give the game a score of 7,3 / 10,0 .… Expand

When much people heard about this game they think that a great idea can appear, but after when they watch the trailer, they think in a regular game, after comes the demo in the E3 and be a disaster, after we watching this dance mode, and all say "really?", the gameplay is really boring, jump and run other movements, and the dance mode, is really stupid, the detection of kinect is slow. Sorry, but Kinect Star Wars is a bigger disaster.… Expand

    I think like most people, I was very psyched for this game, we all wanna grow up to be a Jedi warrior! And the first time you hold out your arm to retrieve your saber in the career... The feeling of holding the saber is breathe taking. But unfortunately, the game loses its spark drastically after that!

And the first time you hold out your arm to retrieve your saber in the career... The feeling of holding the saber is breathe taking. But unfortunately, the game loses its spark drastically after that! Where to begin, the motion controls only work accurately 10 percent of the time, they only work at a barable accuracy 40 percent of the time, and the other half you spend your time wailing your arms around frantically in a desperate fashion, and when a second person joins the action it gets even worse. Outside of the campaign, you get an embarrassing dance central knock off, a pointless rancor rampage mini game, a failing duel adventure, and a decent pod racing game. To add to the pile of mistakes, the graphics are out dated, voice acting is terrible, and story for the campaign is lacking which is much more essential in a star wars title. The good: few good ideas presented, does capture the overall feeling of star wars with the presentation, and a few genuinely fun moments. The bad: controls are unbarable, graphics are outdated, voice acting is awful, and the story is completely missing. In the end: overall, this is a dreadful game, children 7 and under may get a few good kicks out of this, but anyone above that age will be left scratching their heads wondering what the hell just happened.… Expand

    I wasnt expecting much from this game from other reviews and writeups. Star Wars is meant to be enjoyed by all ages and this game is clearly marketed towards a broad spectrum of ages. I have been playing it and I am only about 1 hour into it. I have had some lightsaber fights, speeder biked through the forest, and had to do some small force tasks. I think the game is just plain fun and II wasnt expecting much from this game from other reviews and writeups.

    A cynical package that doesn't do the Star Wars franchise any justice whatsoever. [Issue#85, p.92]

    Kinect Star Wars is a double edged sword. On one side, using the force with the Kinect sensor is immensely satisfying. On the other side, Kinect is just what is holding this game back. All in all, it's just another shallow and lacking tech demo from Microsofts admittingly impressive motion sensor.

    Crappy in places, but frequently very fun. You might hate yourself for not hating it. [June 2012, p.74]
