Is Episode III for PS2/Xbox still the best game for saber fighting?

I remember playing this a ton when I still had my PS2 hooked up...Dooku and Anakin were my favorite characters to duel with.

Has anything since then replicated saber combat as well as that game? I played TFU and it didn't really come close.

Played it a couple weeks ago with my two female friends.

They took great joy killing Obi-Wan over and over again.

The alternate storyline was one of the better parts of that game. Suitless Vader + black robes and a red saber alone were worth it.

No, by far, it goes to Jedi Academy, the best saber fighting in existence.

As for realism, there was a Star Wars game that had random Jedi, threw a lightsaber at them and they died, hit them once, they died, think it was for the PS2/Xbox/Xbox 360.

TFU on the PSP has pretty good saber battles and physics.

I still prefer Jedi Academy's dueling mechanics. Had some good times with the RotS game though.

For lethality, definitely Jedi Academy.

I still think ROTS got the "flair" of the choreography the closest though.

Cin Drallig and Kenobi were both pretty overgunned in that game, tbh. Yoda was practically useless, thinking about it.

Serra was fun. Killing Mace was fun as well.

Cin for some reason was stupidly fast. Like, he literally created afterimages with his attacks when no one else did, and his "strong" attack (Y or Triangle) was faster than a lot of guy's "quick" attack (X or Square) tbh.

Didn't Anakin ragdoll or choke out Mace in one of the cutscenes?

It seems fitting considering he's the Battlemaster and his focus is on lightsaber combat, so why wouldn't he have a fast attack?

Cin shouldn't make Yoda look like a slow poke.

@Carthage yeah, he gripped and threw Mace into another room before they started fighting. To be fair, Mace wasn't even trying to fight Anakin until he did that.

I don't remember ragdolling but he tired Mace out, forced Mace into a corner, parried his last assault, and then blasted him out a window to his death.

Yeah I forgot about Jedi Academy. I actually tried hard to get good at that...people who were skilled could get fights that looked close to the movies. Still like someone said I think Ep III got the choreography down much better, even if the mechanics weren't as polished.

LOL I remember that. I didn't know anything about him when I played the game so I thought this guy must be like the fastest duelist ever. 😄

The Cin/Serra fight was the hardest in the game, too.

I finished the game long before I saw the movie (which was weird...they had the game come out a month before the film), and so I was all hyped waiting for the big Anakin vs Sera/Cin/Mace fight. Was a bit disappointed XD

I also missed that clip the game used for the Dooku fight where Lee says "just because there are two of you do not assume you have the advantage." Made Dooku seem like more of a badass.

Wait.. what? The game came out before the movie? How is that even possible? lol

Meh, I don't think it was the hardest tbh.

I wish they had Yoda in the multiplayer section as well. He would probably be really bad to play with against Grievous though.

Jedi Academy easily.

Yoda sucked in the game. He only had one mission and it was boring and the clones who were like Ninjas were much harder to defeat using Yoda but with Obi-wan I easily slaughtered them like come on.

You're all wrong, that damn Magna-guard level was terrible in RoTS screw that. Good game though. Cin was my favorite character there.

And as for the best lightsaber game. Jedi academy was so good, even if I always just spammed force choke 😛

People won't remember it, but Star Wars: Obi-Wan has a special place in my nerdy heart as does Jedi Outcast. Great games.
