Sith Comes Up Short

The good news, based on playing the video-game version of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, is that it seems that the last and final Star Wars film will provide the franchise with a dark, morally conflicted and splendid finale.

The bad news is that despite a promising start and an interesting underlying dynamic that takes the player from good to evil, the LucasArts game -- with its hack-and-slash simplicity -- starts to get tiresome far too quickly. That means that the relatively short play time of about four hours ends up feeling more like an act of mercy, which is bad news if you've dropped the full price of $50 for the Xbox or PlayStation 2 version.
