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

I'm sorry, but the saber mechanics were sub-par at best, there are tons of games that do it better, Battlefront 2 did it better, Elite Squadron wasn't quite as good, but meh.

Jedi Academy... I remember bringing it home for my Xbox and was stunned by the game, creating my own Jedi, finding out years later that Jaden Korr had defeated the spirit of one of the strongest sith lords of all time.

Up till that point, I had no idea the EU existed.

I'm detracting from the point. The MP for Episode III was fantastic, but the saber mechanics really weren't as great as some people vouch. Maybe some people are just stuck on the nostalgia leash.

Battlefront copy pasted the same move set for all of the Jedi barring Maul, Sheev, Grevious, Yoda and Vader. I was only saying Star wars Obi wan because of nostalgia dude.

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

You couldn't play Yoda in dueling mode. Only in that one bonus mission stomping those Clone Troops.

I remember a map in BF2 where armies of Jedi and Sith fought in Mos Eisley. It was hilarious and quite fun actually.

How did Battlefront do the saber mechanics better? Everybody only got a standard saber attack, a sprinting attack, and a jump attack. The RotS game had far more variety and combos.

Also, if you have a vita, you can get BF2 off the PS Store with PS3 transferring to PS Vita.

Did anyone ever try that clone wars dueling game on the Wii? Looked interesting.

God I haven't played the ROTS game in years, loved seeing all the alternative versions of characters in duels, like Obi Wan vs Obi Wan making one version a Sage-like outcast from tatooine with a green blade. Or a red saber grievous, that was awesome tbh.

Good game, Jedi Academy was good too. People still play online on that, I've got it on steam, play it for nostalgia every now and then...

It kinda sounds like you are, tbh.

@Stark: I'm aware, but it doesn't change that he was pretty bad at everything.

Yeah, it had variety and combos, for Obi and Anakin. Everyone else was so limited. Especially Grevious and Ben.

Yeah if you memorized all the combos you could get a fight that sort of looked liked the Mustafar duel in the movie.

As for BF2 I don't remember it for having amazing saber mechanics, but it *was* tons of fun. That Mos Eisley level was great. I have fond memories of jumping on top of the guy playing as Vader and stabbing him in the back.
