Strengths: Cameos from popular series characters, good use of DS controls in droid levels, solid audio, multiplayer support
Weaknesses: Weak targeting system, uninspired level design, linear game play, too easy for most players
Summary: Bridging the gap between Episodes 3 and 4, Lethal Alliance puts players in the role of alien mercenary Rianna Saren and her droid Zeeo. While the story doesn't go anywhere, a decent mix of action and puzzle-solving and numerous cameos from popular series characters keep the game interesting.
As a third-person shooter, Lethal Alliance is a mixed bag. The auto-target function frequently picks the wrong enemy for you, and sometimes it doesn't target any enemies at all. Still, the shooting action never becomes difficult, and the puzzles and DS controlled droid levels make up for some of this.
Lethal Alliance is better than the average Star Wars title, but it could have been great with a bit more polish. Star Wars fans will like this game, and its low difficulty will keep beginners happy. For $20 or less, you could do a lot worse in the sci-fi genre.
