During an interview with Gamespot, Bertrand Helias, Senior Producer at Ubisoft Montreal, discussed this title, which is made exclusively for the DS and PSP handhelds.
Your missions will take place on some famous planets from both sagas, like Coruscant, Mustafar, Tatooine, or the Death Star. But you will also discover never-before-seen locations on Despayre, Danuta, or even Alderaan. In each environment, you will encounter many characters and species: the unavoidable stormtroopers or scout troopers, Quarren, Arconas, many empire droids. In terms of ships, we cannot have a Star Wars game without the famous TIE fighters.
In the game you will encounter some iconic characters like Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Princess Leia. Of course, you will have some other surprises to discover! We have designed new places like Despayre, Alderaan, or Danuta. Each time we create something new from the saga, we work closely with LucasArts to stay consistent with the universe.
When we started developing the games, we wanted to take advantage of the portability of each platform. On [the] PSP, we wanted to utilize the powerful hardware by making an action-packed, fun-filled game set in beautiful environments. On [the] DS, the main focus has been on using the touch screen--the game will be full 3D and contains many elements that require the use of the touch screen. As Wi-Fi is an integral feature on each platform, the multiplayer portions of both the PSP and DS games will enable you to take on your friends in a Star Wars universe.
Both versions of the game offer local Wi-Fi capabilities. Each version will offer a different multiplayer experience. On PSP you will play Twi'lek versus Twi'lek, while on DS you will play droid versus droid.
A new Star Wars game is always exciting. It's interesting to see that Ubisoft are using various features for both handhelds. Touch Screen control for the DS version, for example. Also, it is slightly disappointing to see that this title will only offer Local WiFi, and not Internet-Enabled. However, this is definitely one to look out for.
