After only a mere 3 hours playing on hard mode I find the "ability" or lack of mid flow counter attacks very annoying. I am unsure if it is my controller reaction times but it makes no sense to not be able to block then parry. Running into a fight and having to wait for their move to parry or dodge seems a little off. I get the need to be cautious and strategic however so far it seems a little to structured to be fun.
It would be much nicer to see a free world and not one where you have to pan for routes. I have a long way to go and will have more play time tomorrow.
As for the game itself:
Storyline: enjoyable and well placed
Graphics: look stunning
Combat: seems sluggish
AI: too orchestrated
Puzzles: not really a puzzle
Maps: interesting and diverse with great looking wildlife. Not interactive enough and limit you to a dedicated route. (A jedi should be able to manipulate and utilize what's around)
