GameTrailers' review is up; early for once: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39954.html. Be careful, the review has spoilers.

Looks like this'll be a rental.

I really almost never agree with critics, and a critic who thinks a game like this is not worth actually buying sort of disgusts me, more because of the storyline. My friend filled me in on parts of it. He read the book. Les just say it's a pretty good stroryline.

Going to get it later today (homework before pwnage). Hopefully some of those physics related bugs aren't present on the Wii version. (since it doesn't have Euphoria or DMM)

My mom bought it for me while I was at school, so I popped it in right when I got home. The cutscenes aren't to spectacular on the Wii, but that's the only thing I noticed. Gameplay is very fun, and will be even more fun once I stop randomly stabbing and actually swing :P

It may have taken me 6 hours, but GodDietDr.Pepper, I finished it on the 360.

It was more like "Star Wars: AT-STs Unleashed."

Because I'll be darned if the Force was helping me out much when I died all those times against those freakin' jet troopers.

I hated the Purge Troopers. The only time I bothered to fight them was when I had Unlimited Energy and Lightning Rank 3. :P

Just rented it, haven't done the campaign yet, as I'm trying to get the [Diet Dr. Pepper] complicated controls down (I'm sure the Wii-mote will be easier once I play more). Anyway, it looks good, the only thing is, I'm probably going to beat it before the rental expires, so I'm not completely sure if I'll end up buying it, as the multiplayer mode has no AI...
I was kinda sad about that, As I have no one to play with, and that was part of what looked awesome in it.

Oh, and

If you happen to find the "Sith Robes" Holocron on Raxus, Part 1, DO NOT equip them instantly, because it will warp you back to the last autosave and not count the holocron as found, so you have to do it again >.>

Ok, I haven't played that long, but... here goes...

Wii Version
Hidden/Spoiler:
I'm not liking it much... It has the feel of an early beta. The graphics are pretty bad (Think... slightly better than SWBF2), and the physics... I knew they couldn't use Euphoria... but this is bad...

But first, the good:
1. The lightsaber combat is a lot of fun to get in to. They did a good job of using the versatility of the Wiimote. However, sometimes your saber decides to do whatever and not follow your lead (this is probably just my crappy controlling skills :P)

2. The story is pretty good. I don't like whoever's playing Starkiller, as they... are monotone, and... bad... But over all, so far, it's been good.

That's about all the good I can think of at the moment, or maybe I just really wanna rat on it.... but here's what I dislike(d) (a lot of which I HATED).

1. The physics... As I said, I know that they couldn't use Euphoria, but it's not the animations that irk me. It was mostly the fact that, when you grip something, you can only move it on the x and z axises (aka, left, right, forward, backward). There's none of the intense "Throw him 50 feet in the air onto a telephone pole" I'd been expecting.

2. The graphics were [Diet Dr. Pepper]. Not even for the Wii do I consider this passable. Faces that still have noticeable vertices, etc. The cutscenes were where it was horribly noticeable.

Other than that, it was... ok. I'm sure the 360 and Ps3 versions dominate, but for the Wii, this is, to me, more of a rental.

I'll quote yoda and say, "I sense much *hardware issues* in you..."

I don't give a care about graphics. I just want there to be good gameplay, so I don't really care. I mean, DMM and Euphoria are cool, but... Gameplay is what matters.
EDIT: w00t! I gets it on Friday! Best possible day to get a game! But, crap! Sunday's gonna be PACKED! 1st, I do mah HW. Then, I play TFU 'til I see 2.0 out. Then, I D/L 2.0 and get "sick" jk, I just rush thru mah HW and play it as much as possible until it (somehow) get boring.

For those few 360 people:
Hidden/Spoiler:
SPEEDER 1,000,000 Force Points
AAYLA Aayla Secura Costume
COUNTDOOKU All combos maxed
KATARN All Force Powers Unlocked and Maxed
LIGHTSABER Amplified Damage
CHOSENONE Anakin Skywalker Costume
CORTOSIS Grants the Apprentice Invincibility
EXARKUN Maximum Force Push.
MANDALORE Play as General Rahm Kota
MARAJADE Unlocks a New Combo
DANTOOINE Unlocks Ceremonial Jedi Robes
HOLOCRON Unlocks Jedi Adventure Robes
WOOKIEE Unlocks Kento's Robes
KORRIBAN Unlocks the Sith Stalker Armor
The codes that edit your stats/moves disallow you to save, but the costume codes do not, however, they disappear every time you start a new level. I'm also not sure about the Anakin/Aayla ones, haven't tested those yet.

And I've legitimately unlocked the Ceremonial/Stalker robes, and I must say that the Stalker robes are possibly cooler than Vader's armor. :P

I hate it when there are version-exclusive codes. Like battlefront, codes took forever to find on PC. So those better be on other systems. But i prolly won't use any of them 'cept the costume ones, unless the costumes actually change your stats. I've gotten into a habit of AR'ing games, so I want to get back to playing clean, and it's actually going pretty well.
