Looks rubbish.

It does look a bit shit, yea. I'll just continue to use my Jedi wave to open automatic doors until I see a decent use for my Kinect.

Let's keep it sexy people...

How could they take something with so much potential and fuck it up so comprehensively?

What more do you expect from it?

You use your body to wave a Lightsaber around, kick droids, pilot an X-Wing...

Also, it isn't a proper gameplay trailer, don't forget. More of a tease. I think it looks good enough to play.

I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts...

It looks more like the X-wing is on rails and you flail your arms around to fire the lasers.

Looks like the whole thing is on rails and the only thing left to the player is to swing your arms around and such.

*sigh* Last chance is for some kind of Star Wars Move game, to sell to the 14 people that haven't traded theirs in.

How would you make it not on rails and use Kinect, is my question.

Couldn't you have a controller in one hand? Or stick your arms out to the sides and pretend you're flying like a kid in the playground?

My nephew would have kittens if he could force choke punters on the tellybox by sort of force choking hand waving. A force push would wortk wonders too.. I could see this working for little 'uns

I'm hoping for a Volkswagen bonnet opening minigame.

It looks no more laggy than any other Kinect game I've seen shown in that sort of environment, which have then worked absolutely fine when at home.

Much like the Clone Wars the styling is taken from, Star Wars is, and always was, for kids not 35 year olds.

I can imagine my nephew lapping it up. If you upset that Star Wars isn't as good as when you were a kid. a) you're not a kid anymore and b) nobody cares.

This is not the game you're looking for. and it doesn't look like the game I'm looking for either, in fact it looks shite.

Plus, whilst I'm on the subject, does every Kinect game need to have me standing up? I'm really looking forward to Child of Eden but not if I have to play it on my feet, I play games to relax not work out, but maybe I'm missing the point.

WHY IS EVERY GAME ON RAILS?

Union rules, Reg.
Why the surprise about a shit Star Wars game? In 34 years there's been, like, 6 or 7 that weren't. And I'm counting the original arcade cabinet in that...

How f*****ng hard (are we allowed to say swear words here?) can it be to make a lightsaber fighting game? That's all people want. Just make one! A good one. Make loads of money yeah. (not from me tho, I hate star wars. Tho they have cool jackets)
