What it is

Third-person action/adventure game, Star Wars: Episode III, delivers the ultimate Jedi action experience as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi join forces in fierce battles and heroic lightsaber duels until one's lust for power and the other's devotion to duty leads to a final confrontation between good and evil. In Star Wars: Episode III, players control all the Jedi abilities of both Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, including devastating Force powers and advanced lightsaber techniques involving robust combo attacks and defensive maneuvers. As Anakin, unleash the power of the dark side in ruthless lightsaber and Force attacks. As Obi-Wan, struggle to save the galaxy from darkness by focusing the power of the light side into swift and precise lightsaber attacks and using the Force to control enemy actions.

Based on the 2005 film Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, this action game casts players into the closing days of the Clone Wars, the galaxy-spanning conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Separatist forces. The game largely follows the events of the movie, letting players relive its pivotal scenes across seventeen levels stitched together with footage drawn directly from the film. Players alternate between two of the saga's central Jedi, the gifted and impulsive Anakin Skywalker and his steadfast master Obi-Wan Kenobi, fighting side by side through the war's climactic battles. Combat centers on the elegant art of the lightsaber, complemented by an array of Force powers that grow stronger as the heroes progress. From daring rescues aboard enemy warships to duels against fearsome Separatist commanders, the two Jedi carve their way through the crumbling galaxy, retracing a story destined to reshape the fate of the Republic and the Jedi Order alike.
