How is Republic Heroes for a casual Star Wars fan?

Bummer...I would have picked up the Star Wars title for my kids if the PS3 version was that price.

GH5 appears to of sold out already.

That was a pretty sick price on GH5 - too bad it's already gone

yeah how is Star Wars? Im a pretty big Star Wars fan (as you can probably tell) but have never watched the cartoons

I'm actually playing the game right now. As a game it's very meh. Horrible platforming but overall it's a run of the mill action plat hack slash game. I really like the art directing and that's been the only thing keeping me playing it but I probably won't even get through the game because of how not fun the game is.

Playing it on PS3 and probably put 3 hours into the game and already have 50% of the trophies. $7 for a few trophies/achievements and a couple hours worth of entertainment should be worth it.

well looks like I'm bringing my lunch to work today and skipping out on the value meal, so hello Star Wars!!

The Star Wars game is decent for playing with a younger child. Even then, it's pretty bad. The controls and camera are so terrible that you're going to jump to your death....a lot. It's set up like Lego Star Wars where dying isn't that big of a deal, but it's still annoying.

The Star Wars game is worth $7 if you're really into getting achievements -- if you don't care about achievements then stay far away from this. If I remember correctly the achievements for this were very easy.

Do or Do Not..wait a sec DO NOT buy the Star Wars Republic Heroes it is one of the worst games to have the license. Poor camera, unresponsive controls and muddy graphics and those are its good qualities. Bantha fodder.

That's a pretty bold statement considering the crap they've shoveled in the past. For every good one, there are 5 bad ones.

Thanks for the Republic Heroes mini-reviews guys, gonna stay away.

I snagged Republic Heroes for my son. He's played the demo off and on for a while now. I've never really cared for it, but he does. I was never willing to pay full retail for it though. His birthday is coming up soon, so he'll be excited to get this as one of his presents. Thanks Cheapy!

Thanks Cheapy! Snagged Republic Heroes. Should be a pretty easy 1K

IDK..did you look at the achievement guide yet? Possibly 3 play thrus, on some you need a second player (or have insane skills wielding 2 remotes in hand) and looks like there are a sh*t-ton of collectibles to track down..maybe not a super easy 1k, but maybe 700+ which is always good enough for me!

Guitar Hero 5 is back in stock, I just snagged one with that Star Wars game (against my better judgment)

picking up all 3

Yep I did look at the achievement guide. I will 1K it. It won't be hard at all. Plus I have someone who will play with me to do the 2nd player achievements.

The only way you complete games to the 1K is to not have the attitude of that looks hard, I have learned. Collection achievements don't bother me at all. *Getting feathers in AC 1, Orbs in Crackdown, as well as Treasure Trove in Lost Odyssey were all easy. They are just time consuming.

* = Achievements were on my old acct not my new one. But those will all be done again on my new gamercard

Snagged GH 5 as nothing else interested me. I did find Quake Wars for $13 and Tomb Raider Underworld for $10, so I grabbed Tomb Raider and passed on Quake Wars, but easily a half dozen good games for about $50 here.
