It seems to me that dance games are the only thing motion controls can actually do competently.

See how the DBZ game turns out.

There's a difference between being serious, and a game expecting to be paid for with hard-earned cash, by Star Wars fans.

I do not think the hardcore Star Wars fans would buy this game...even a little. It would be people that are familiar with Star Wars and would find this game fun.

I am probably one of the very few hardcore Star Wars fans that will buy this game and likes it.

Which is the problem for me. You bring out a Star Wars game for a motion control console, promising actual motion controlled lightsaber combat (even if its executed badly), but don't market it directly at the people who've been waiting for a game like this since they had their first lightsaber toy?

I mean yeah, watching the Emperor dance is funny, but why should I buy this over, say, Tiger Woods?

I can't imagine myself paying sixty dollars for this, no.

I am not buttmad because I am not a neckbearded gigantor like some people here, but lolworthy dancing is not enough to make me buy a game.

You see, I was not even aware of that. I did not know it had any sort of decent lightsaber control.

The only kind of game that would work with lightsaber control is a game that employs a VERY good working version of it.

I have not seen a game like that. This game seems to have added the lightsaber control as an afterthought, not as a mainstay. That may be why it is not really marketed to hardcore Star Wars fans. More like it is marketed to the girlfriends, brothers, or sisters of hardcore Star Wars fans that are more casual gamers.

I wouldn't buy this game even for $20.

Oh boy....

As soon as I saw the url I just lol'd.

So I guess this will have some sort of sequel that's more of the same kind of fail that Kinect's made out of? Sadly I suppose it's either that or having a Force Unleashed III.
