Okay, I was hoping somebody else would start talking about this and I could casually join in without having to admit to anything, but as that hasn't happened, I have to admit... I bought a "kid's" game.
Excellent fun though! Anybody agree? I had a little fun on Episode III which managed to give away a few little plot details (there really aren't many left at all now for this movie) and also spent some time running through Episode I.
It might be simple stuff (well, it definitely is, even making TimeSplitters 3 look hard by comparison), but its somehow excellent fun and often quite funny. My only criticism so far is that duels between two human players tend to reach stalemate quite quickly because of the excellent blocking achieved by quick mashing of the square button. My advice: convince them you're working together then surprise the other player with some sneaky back sabering.
Any thoughts?

£20? that's a bargin, thanks for the heads up.
Just picked it up at the Halifax Argos, so at least it's not a one-store-only offer.
It's on a CD-ROM too - complete with purple disc. Didn't think those things existed anymore :O

It should on offer at all Argos stores, since their website also advertises it as £19.99.
There you go then, result!
I rented it out for a couple of days. I can see where you lot are coming from when you say it's a fun little game. It's got a decent 1 and 2 player mode, 2 player especially is great, the 3 episodes aren't very long to play through but there is enough to do and collect after the story section to keep you coming back.
Even after finishing it, I can envisage coming back to at some point in the future because it's just great fun. Also, I think it actually makes the Episode 1, 2 and 3 more watchable... :)

I have decided that I will get it when it's cheap.
It's supposed to be very fun and very easy so me and the girlfriend will go through it in the 2 player for fun.
