 Definitely grows on you October 15, 2008
Thothhoughthoth (Kansas City (the center of civilization))
I must say that my first impression after purchasing this game was "Am I missing something here?" I chose Darth Vader in arcade mode and the credits were rolling within ten minutes of fighting a few different characters. I tried fighting online, but couldn't ever get into a match due to heavy usage. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
A few days later I practiced using many of the different characters and the hundreds of moves that come with them and I realized that this isn't just a regular button mashing fighting game. The controls are VERY precise and pressure sensitive. There's a lot to learn here.
In my opinion this game really shines when you go online. After a week or so of buying this game it got a whole lot easier to find available matches. I love the fact that you can fight opponents online with the same precise controls as in the single player game. Matches rarely go past ten minutes making this a perfect online multiplayer game if you don't have a long time to devote to it. (I hate getting stuck in COD4 if you have something that you need to get done all of the sudden.)
Anyhow, I highly recommend this game if you like fighting games with precise movements and quick combos. If you have this game, but don't like it, give it another try. You might be pleasantly surprised. I would have given it two stars the day I bought it, but now I shooting for five.
Who knew the Darkside could be so good? October 14, 2008
Darth Chester (Right behind you.)
Great Game. Not a lot of differences from SC3 but i loved 3 so that's fine. mainly got it to be Darth Vader. He is the man and the apprentice is also very good. This is a must have two player versus game.
great game October 6, 2008
Andrew McMasters (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Now here's a game that is very clean in it's programming. I give it 5 stars because the level of detail and thought put into this game is substantial. There are many characters to choose from. Online play is definitely great. If you like fighting games, then this will definitely hold you over for a while. I recommend buying.
The best Fight game for PS3 already released! October 2, 2008

I am a real fan of fighting games, but It seems like they were trying to sell this game with the novelty of Vader and large breasted women. I feel the game is too short and is a cluster of different play modes that I really don't care about, The story mode ends before it begins it seems like, which is a shame. I honestly can't say I recommend this as a game to purchase, but more of a rental over the weekend.
