Me neither. Oh, sure, it was fun, but nothing to inspire the kind of devotion it's gathered over the years. Its thin, derivative mythology just doesn't bear up under the weight of all the junk ? the prequels, the cartoons, the books, the action figures ? that has accumulated over the years. This has me pretty pissed. How does this guy get off saying this kind of stuff when he obviously has no idea what he's talking about? ________ FREE VICTORIAS SECRET GIFT CARD Last edited by Jedi_Christopher on Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:58 am; edited 1 time in total

For example people wrote a bad review for Rambo 2008 because it was too violent. I mean thats the point it has to be violent, its Rambo! You do not have to review the game as a star wars fan but you really cannot blame the game for the movies.

jedipoodoo Knight Joined: 05 Feb 2008 Posts: 367 Location: Connecticut Heh, even more reason to stand tall and revel in our collective "Star Wars Dorkness"! His opinion is just that, an opinion, and therefore changes mine not one bit! If I choose to run around and beat the bejabbers out of some StormTroopers or Jawas, so what? It's what I do for fun in a videogame, he may like stacking blocks, and I'm not knocking that. I'll just agree to disagree, and leave it at that. That's my 2 cents... _________________ "Who's scruffy lookin'?"

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows Hmm...I like that. Could be a nice tag line/slogan/motto. And there are things I like about FoxNews and things I do not. This is one of those I do not. But then, as somebody else said, this is the guy's opinion, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Of course his opinion is wrong, but to each their own. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Aush Administrator Joined: 12 Nov 2007 Posts: 980 Location: Midwest, USA I didn't read through the article but judging from what people are saying, the review seems more targeted to parents than kids (how many kids watch a 24 hour news network for video game reviews?) However, parents might and it may be best to let them know how "violent" the game is or whatever. But, his opening lines do annoy me a bit.... _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!" "Then you saved my life. How disgusting. How unfortunate." "No, don't gush on so. It was nothing, really."
