Thank you as ever for such a review, the prequels do need cutting loose from the rest of the films before they drag it down any further.

Can you tell me, please, >WHY ON EARTH< would you review something like that and not stalker: clear sky? Is it because you actually like it... or do you know what it is at all. im really getting desesperate. :(

Anyway on topic; star wars always been cheesy and boring for me just because of the hype... its too cheesy.

PS: I totaly loved the ''replace the storm trooper by spartan from halo'' short.

edit: Im really making no sense when Im tired and trying to write something in english. *sigh* Bah w/e... time to play Warhammer.

it seemed though that you were more having a go at the wii then the game there was about 30 seconds talking about the storyline then the rest was about it being a bad game for the Wii still loved it though as usuall ***** (5 stars)

It's too bad you didn't go for the PS3 or Xbox 360 version yahtzee. You would have enjoyed it a little more I'm thinking. But still, gold as always.

Theres a few things you have to know about the wii for it to work. You not only have to hold it at the right hight but at the right distance aswell ie me sitting in armchair making vague rist movements. Mostly however any large exagerated move will make the machine confused. This is a console that works better if you cant be stuffed to actually swing the wii mote. That and it was a bad idea to let another moron play on even wii sports as i was soon dodging the wii mote which rebounded off the adjacent wall.

The whole wii sensor should have more development or hey maybe they should develope one that actually works for the same console. It also gets a bit weird being in the midle of those old people that think wii fit actually works better than say being outside and a bunch of todlers.

what happened to you man you yoused to be cool it was all about the games and you sold out
no really though that was quite good but there are a lot of other new wii games that lend themselves to funnier reviews i.e deBlob

I'm particularly surprised that Yahtzee had picked the Wii over the 360/PS3... How odd.
Why does this surprise you? A lot of people are looking forward to the Wii version because they assumed motion-sensitive controls would make laightsaber duels awesome.

Once again, a Star Wars game fails to meet expectations. I think the last good SW game I palyed was Tie Fighter.

probably one of his best so far, not all of them recently have been as funny as some of his starting ones.

Wow, that was awesome. Brilliant, good show. I really thought Yahtzee would hit up Silent Hill: Homecoming this time around, hold on... nope, not out till November in Australia.
It's actually banned now!

Yahtzee's right, everybody in SA has *some* sort of bone to pick with Michael Atkitson, attorney-general

That was more of a rant on the Wiimote rather than a review of the actual game, but eh.
Perhaps, but as soon as I saw the Wiimote I thought 'Lightsabre Duels'. It was the one thing the Wii was asking for.

I found in very amusing, this ZP, although I've not played 'Force Unleashed' and didn't plan to at all (lets be honest, you could tell from the demo video's it wasn't going to light the world on fire, nor even warm it a fraction)

Anyway... my predictions for bad upcoming games:
Duke Nuke'm forever (assuming it really is coming out in less than month and isn't just to tortment fans)
C&C Red Alert 3 (although it saddens me to say so)
That Space Marines one (no, not Dawn of War 2, the FPS one)
Halo Wars (probably)

I cracked up at the windmill analogy, and I also laugh at that George Lucas picture because it makes him look like a gerbil or something.

Maybe that's why there were CG gophers in Indy 4.

It sucked on the PS3 and 360 too. Not for crappy controls, but because it had brilliantly shitty gameplay elements like pulling that fucking Star Destroyer out of the sky. So retarded. It was also buggy as hell, with people falling through the floor often, and the general storyline being pretty much awful for the exact reasons Yahtzee states.

The PSP version is probably the least horrifying of the lot of them, and even that isn't saying much. When are they going to make another Republic Commando game?

Not that special, the whole "Star Wars prequels and George Lucas suck so I'll just make as many jokes as possible about that" routine is getting old. One per episode at the most Yahtzee, maybe you could've got away with two for this one considering the subject matter.
