I thought it looked like an awful gimmick at first, but once I saw some video of it....I think this might actually be good.
The game isn't trying to be something that it's not. It's a simple action game with an interesting mechanic. It's supposed to have good control, span all 3 prequel movies, give you a ton of characters to play as, it has vehicle sequences, and it throws in a little humor since it's a game based on a movie tie in of a kids toy. But, they know that and that's what I think will make it so charming.
I'm looking forward to it almost most than the straight up EP3 game.........but neither can touch Rep Commando. Believe that.
