This is everything I've wanted the franchise to become. [Dec 2005, p.161]

Gun surrounds you with characters and a story that put their own stamp on the genre and make you a participant in a grand adventure that stands up to the rich tales of the legendary west. [Dec 2005, p.150]

A mixed bag from beginning to end. [Dec 2005, p.161]

The movies may be done, but with games like Battlefront II, I have a feeling that the best in Star Wars is yet to come. [Dec 2005, p.152]

Action in the low post can be a mess, the AI is off. [Jan 2006, p.139]

Sure, it has a map now and (gasp!) touch screen menu support, but other than that it's pretty much identical to its GBA cousin. [Nov 2005, p.180]

Dense with the most boring, tedious, and limp gameplay this side of sewer-water. [Nov 2005, p.180]
