This game is pretty fun and easy to pick up. I was worried when reading another reviewer's comments. Just read the very short instruction manual and go have fun. You basically play the action portions of the movie and the dialogue (even though they don't talk) takes place in the cut-scenes.
I'll agree with one of the other reviewers that if your not into Star Wars, then maybe this isn't for you. But really, who looks at a Star Wars game that isn't into Star Wars. The levels that I have played didn't have a time limit even though they were timed for posterity. So there is plenty of time to look around and explore. There are some areas that you can't access unless you are playing in free mode. (Story mode is the main game and follows the movies)
What's great about it: easy game play, action the whole time
What's not so great: haven't figured out how to change camera angles
