    So is the industry itself actually going strong or declining rapidly?

    I mean sales figures are through the roof on many titles, but jobs are being lost at an even higher rate...

    ... it just strikes me as odd, where is all the money going?

    I've given up looking for artist jobs in Australia, developers are closing one by one. I'm going back to my country come December.

    That super-zoomed-out camera was my main complaint about the PS3 demo I played. Seriously, why am I looking at my teeny-tiny character fighting teeny-tiny stick-figure droids from across a canyon? It might have been a fun brawler if I could see what the hell was going on. The characters in Crash Commando were bigger than this.

    I had camera complaints in the Clone Trooper levels too. It seemed like the camera lingered on areas that were supposed to be major action spots, which was fine until I tried to proceed, and had to walk off the screen to get the camera to finally follow me. It was worse when more enemies showed up and just started shooting at me from off the screen. How am I supposed to shoot back?

    The two-joystick Robotron-style shooting was kinda cool, but ultimately I had more gripes than fun with the demo.

    It's one of those games where you know it sucks, but some how you are kind of enjoying yourself. Reminds me of Star Wars Bounty Hunter. From a professional game reviewer perspective, that thing doesn't deserve anything over 5/10, but yet I really really liked that game and I don't know why.

    I get the feeling that it's the same for you AJ.

    @octalass:
    True, then again every game could essentially be boiled down to that argument. Personal preference is what matters in the end, but people should read a review's context more than anything. Of course now that demos are available for almost any game, players can get an idea of what they're getting by experiencing it for themselves, which for me is better than any review can be.

    I'm probably in the minority, but I enjoyed the 360 demo, although I'll admit to being one who doesn't care as much when my favorite IPs are in use (Star Wars, Transformers, etc). I'll be renting it for sure and playing it gleefully all the way through.

    Not sure that it is purchase material, though.

    Isnt every Star Wars game technically a tie in game? So then what point does that have to do with this particular SW game? Its still a Star Wars game.

    This game seems to be a spiritual successor to those 2D platform adventures from the PS2 days. Not a bad game in any respect but its not going to blow your mind. If you like SW and beat em ups youll like this.

    @Archaotic For some reason it wont let me reply to your post but anyway, wasn't there a article on Kotaku that said EA was going with micro-transactions? So basically its going to be a free 2 play MMO.

    This Clone Wars nonsense is wearing very thin.


    Saying the Clone Wars stories have "struck a chord" with the audience should be translated to, "Kids don't want to buy toys from the original trilogy anymore, so we sell them these new toys that they will buy, all the while denying Darth Vader ever existed by perpetually keeping Anakin Skywalker relevant."


    sorry for rant.

    All this game does for me is make the loss of Battlefront 3 and KotOR 3 that much more painful. Sigh.

    According to BioWare, that MMO I refuse to acknowledge by name is "taking the place of KotOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12". So no. It won't be back soon. Or ever.
