That is how bad it is, the fact that a game that should have been the definitive Star Wars gaming experience managed to bore two shameless Star Wars geeks within 30 minutes and that playing a game that had already been out for a week and a half (and was far superior I might add) was the preferable option on frickin LAUNCH DAY!!! LAAAUUUUNCHHHH DAYYYYYY!!! Now, you might be asking, surely it's fun to play as your favourite characters and occupy your favourite locations. I am not kidding you when I say that after about half an hour of playing various game modes, we turned to each other and said 'wanna play Fallout?'. I invited him over to play the game with me on launch day. Now, I am a hardcore Star Wars fan and have been since childhood as is my friend. The list of game modes reads like a joke someone would tell to parody this game's respect for the player at a stand-up gig: Battle on Tatooine, Hero Battle on Tatooine, Battle on Hoth, Hero Battle on Hoth, Survival on Hoth, Hero Survival on Hoth, Hero Battle Survival on Tattoine on Hoth, Hoth on Tatooine on Hero Battle. No plot and the excuse for a single player campaign is 3 game modes utilizing variants of gameplay across the same 4 maps against AI control. The reason I haven't ticked the spoiler box is that there's literally nothing to spoil. This game is an absolute atrocity, I can't play my copy for more than 10 minutes without getting bored and wanting to slice my larynx with powersaw - and I am writing this review in the time following one of those 10 minutes.
