Ever sit around with your friends and discuss who could kick who's ass in the Star Wars universe, well here's you chance to find out. You knew it was going to happen, it's a Star Wars fighting game. Unfortunately, this game is not perfect, and will mainly be only accepted by Star Wars fans and not true fighting game officionados.

The graphic department is one area in which Teras Kasi does somewhat well. The characters themselves look very much like their movie counterparts, especially when you are selecting your fighters, but during actual gameplay, they are somewhat plain looking. The animated background during battle add to the flavor of the game. You get the chance to fight in such memorable settings as Hoth, The Rancor Pit, The Carbon Freezing Chamber, and Endor.

The music just rocks. Even though the music is great, the developers didn't really have to do that much with it, they just took the original scores from the Trilogy and transfered them directly into the game. The sounds are also well done and come straight from the Trilogy. The blasters sound cool and the light sabers also retain their movie likenesses. Each fighting has his or her own victory frases as well.

The contol is one aspect of Teras Kasi that is really lacking. At first it seems like the fighters are fighting in quicksand. Sometimes you can get knocked down, and it will take a good ten seconds to get up, leaving you open for attacks. Sometimes when you are in close to your opponent, your hits seem to miss, leaving yourself open for a hurtful counter attack.

Overall, Teras Kasi will enthrall Star Wars nuts who are excited by the fact that they can play as Darth Vader and kick the living crap out of Luke Skywalker. But that may be the only crowd that this game will attract. Non Star Wars fans will only want to rent this one.
