Introduction We have waited ages for the new star wars film to arrive in the cinemas. Star wars episode III Revenge of the Sith will tie up all the loose ends and answer all of those unanswered questions. Alongside the film they have released a game. There have been few star wars games where you follow the film and get to play as a jedi. In this game you get to do just that. You get to play as a jedi, use your lightsaber and use the force in a variety of ways. There are plenty of scenes from the film which you can watch as well. The graphics are also great which adds to the star wars experience. This is a great game for star wars fans. 02. Controls The controls are very simple. When you first play the game you may find it hard to get to grips with but after five minutes you will know every combo off by heart. Just persevere. Square - Fast Attack Circle - Critical attack/ interact Triangle - Strong attack X - Jump. Press twice to double jump* L1 - Block L2 - Saber throw R1 - Push/grab R2 - Stun=/lightning LAS - Move RAS - Force target Start - Pause Select - Nothing *When jumping push the LAS in the direction that you wish to jump. Jumping is very useful in getting out of tricky situations. 03. Characters You get to play as a variety of characters throughout the game. In the missions you only get to play as Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. However in multiplayer you get to play as all the characters you defeat in the story missions. For example you get to play as Mace Windu. In the bonus missions you also get to play as different characters. For example Yoda who is amazing. 04. Basic Moves The basic moves are as follows: Square is a fast attack with little power Circle is slow but potentially lethal Triangle is in the middle. You will automatically block incoming bullets. Press L1 to block incoming fire. NOT CANNONS. Tap L1 before the bullet hits you to repel. Only on weak weapons. While blocking you will defend the closest threat. 05. Combo attacks Whilst playing the game, try different combinations of square, circle, triangle and X. You will learn lots of amazing moves. Each is better than others at certain enemies. You can also practice combos in multiplayer. Combos are the key to defeating multiple enemies quickly. Here are a few starters: Standing Rapid Slash Combo: Square, Square, Square Standing Rapid Back Strike: Square, Square, Triangle Standing Rapid Jung Slash: Square, Triangle, Triangle Rapid Slash Combo: Move analog stick towards enemy and press Square, Square, Square. Push the LAS twice in a direction for a quick movement. This increases the effect of combos. 06. Force Moves In order to be a good Jedi you must not only have the ability to destroy things with your lightsaber, but must be able to use the force. The force can be used in many different ways. Some ways work better than others. You can use force moves on SOME enemy Jedi/Siths. Move the RAS to target an enemy or object. The enemy or object will turn blue so that you know that you have selected it. Force Push Press the R1 button to perform the force push. Your character will produce a wave of energy. This will Knock back, kill or cause damage to enemies in the way. Effective against a group of droids. Force Grasp Hold the R1 button to perfrom the force grasp. The enemy will now be in the air. Move the left analog stick in the direction that you want to throw the enemy. You can have lots of fun with this. You can throw a droid, for example, at other droids which will kill them all. You can throw a droid into an object which will cause it to explode. My favourite thing to do is to pick up and object and throw it at a droid. It will explode and kill any droids around it. When having a lightsaber battle you can throw objects at you opponent to knock them back. This is excellent for defeating the rolling droids. Force Stun/Lightning Hold the R2 button to stun a group of droids. This works best if they are standing together. If you stun them for long enough they will be motionless for a while. You can then finish them off or kill someone else. Be careful. If you don't hold it down long enough the droid will ge back up and start shooting you. This has a different effect on the weak minded. Like the clone troopers. If you hold down R2 for long enough they will fight for you for a short while. Once you reach a certain level Anakin's force stun will be replaced with lightening. Hold R2 to shoot out some lightning. This will kill a droid immediately and seriously hurt anyone else. Saber Throw When you push the L2 button you will throw your lightsaber. The longer you hold down L2 the further you will throw it. This is not only good at killing droids that you can't reach, but is also used to destroy generators and switches. This move also works in lightsaber fights. Be carful though. When you throw it you will be defenless for a couple of seconds so watch out. Force Heal This sounds really good but it is not as good as you might think. Press and hold R3 and L3 (Push both analog sticks in). You will start to regain health. However your force bar will be used up in about five seconds. It is not really worth it until you get the upgrade. Make sure when using it you are on your own as droids can hit you whilst you are healing yourself. Force Speed Move the LAS twice in a direction to boost in that direction for half a second. This is an excellent thing to use when doing combos as it does more damage. This can't be upgraded though. This is also good for dodging incoming fire. 07. Using Force and Lightsaber The key to being a good jedi is the ability to use both force and lightsaber. When fighting enemies don't just keep hitting them with your lightsaber. On the other hand don't just stand still and keep throwing force waves at them. Use them both. When facing lots of droids kill the ones in front of you. Then try and get some droids grouped together. You can then throw something into them and kill them all. You can also stun them and then go up to them and destroy them or kill another enemy. This is the same when fighting other jedi/siths. You use mostly your lightsaber to perform combos, but you can also use the force. You can throw things at you opponent to know them back. Stun them so you can go up to them and hit them, and once you get the upgrade as Anakin you can electrocute them. However when you fight more experienced players it is much harder to use the force against them as they will block it. It is still possible though you just have to catch them off guard. Make sure that they don't use the force against you either. Always hold L1. 08. Force Action Icons Throughout the game you will have to use the force action icons. This is used when you need to get to certain places that you can't normally reach. There will be a circle on the ground where you need to jump. Stand on it and hold X. The computer will then take you to the desired spot. The other force action icon is the force focus icon. This is needed to change something in your surroundings. For example you might need to move a ship out of the way. To do this stand on the icon on the floor and hold R1. Them move the object using the LAS. This is used a lot during the game. 09. Advanced Moves This is where the game really gets exciting. You can know take the force and your lightsaber to new extremes. You cannot complete the game without using advanced moves. They are essential in beating the likes of Mace Windu and Anakin. When someone grabs hold of you, quckly press square and triangle at the same time to escape. You must press this at the begginging of the grapple. Also press square and triangle at the same time to escape a force stun. When you have seriously hurt an enemy press circle to finish them off. This attack is impossible to block. When lying on the ground, which happens a lot, press the square and triangle button to stop enemies attacking you. When blocking, by pressing and holding L1, if you press triangle or square you can attack them. When fighting a jedi/sith you often go into a saber lock. This is when two strong attacks collide. Keep pressing triangle and square at the same time to win. This means you get to hit them a couple of times. If you loose they do the same to you. You don't want this to happen when fighting Anakin. Lastly if you press L1 right before being hit by a bullet you will deflect it back to where it came from. Use this to defeat enemies who are far away. During the game you will also have to get throught doors. Go up to it and hold circle to plunge you lightsaber into it. Then use the left analog stick to create a hoel in 10. Experience, Skill upgrades When you kill someone it will rate the kill. For instance fair of Master. At the end of the level it wil show you how much experience you earned. Use this to increase your skills. You can also buy upgrades. There are plenty to choose from and they are really great at defeating enemies. 11. Lightsaber Fights The key to a good jedi/sith is your ability to defeat people in lightsaber battles. Use all of your combos and the force to defeat you enemies. They key to winning is to never let go of L1. If you do then your enemy can half your health in a matter of seconds. Especially Anakin. The advanced enemies will be able to block a lot of your force moves and combos so you have to catch them off guards. When you get into a lightsaber lock keep hammering square and triangle to win. When fighting powerful enemies you can be hammering the keys for minutes. Just kepp at it. 12. Blaster Cannon As well as using the force and a lightsaber you occasionaly get to use a blaster cannon. Press circle to jump into the cannon. Use the LAS to aim. Hold squre of R1 for low power but fast firing shots. Hold triangle or L1 for a single powerful shot. Both of these shots cause the heat meter to increase. Keep an eye on the heat meter. If it gets to hot then you won't be able to fire for a couple of seconds. You basically become a sitting duck. The powerful shot increases the heat meter more. Also you are not invincible in the cannon. You can still be hurt so watch out. 13. Bonus Missions You unlock the bonus missions when you complete certain levels in the story mode. In the bonus missions you get to play as different characters like Yoda and Darth Vada. Yoda is extremely fast and Darth Vader is incredibly powerful. They can also be used in multiplayer fighting. You also get to play as Ben Kenobi (Obi-Wan Kenobi in the fourth, fifth and sixth film). In the bonus missions you have to fight waves of enemies who get harder each time. 14. Multiplayer There are two types of multiplayer. Versus mode and Cooperative Mode. In versus mode you select your jedi or sith and fight a friend or the computer. The characters you defeat in the story mode becmoe available in the versus mode. You also unlock arenas. In cooperative mode it is like a single player mission but with two characters. You and your friend work together to complete the level. However if one of you dies you loose the mission. You can also play with the computer as practice for the story missions. 15. Cheats There are lots of cheats for this game. All the ones i know of are listed below.
