Star Wars makes its DS debut, and it's a surprising and fantastic combination of beat 'em up and space combat. The Force is with this one. Read Review

For the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS renditions of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Ubisoft put its Montreal handheld team to task in reproducing situations and scenarios on the handheld systems. The team has had previous experience with the Star Wars property with Apprentice of the Force, a GBA rendition of the Star Wars (A New Hope), Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi films that were re-issued on DVD late last year. Episode III is essentially a Golden Axe or a Double Dragon design in the Star Wars universe, putting players in the role of either Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi as they lightsaber-slash their way through more than a dozen levels of droid and clone army-infested areas. It's a hack-and-slash affair, but the development team has put a lot of focus into the characters' unique weapon-handling abilities; both characters feel different because of their different styles of combat.
