Bronze

Bronze
+Funny
+Wide array of Star Wars characters from all it's incarnations
+John Williams music is in tact.

Wood
+Looks pretty
+Much smoother parkour controls
-Forgettable story
-Boring missions
-No shake-up to the gameplay at anytime throughout the game

-No option to change the control symbols in the command list.
