Great concept with some things lacking

I love that they did a game in between the movies, rather than the usual rehash of the plot, but the locations and plotlines often seemed very similar to the new movie. The game mechanics were very fast moving and the auto save and "derezzing" mechanic was a very nice method for the player to learn the game. However, those two mechanics also made it impossible to go back and get the missing pieces you must collect without replaying the whole level, which made the game seem rather forced and often frustrating.
The advancement also seemed uneven. I was about 2/3 of the way through the story when I stopped playing, and I had gained enough for about 10% of the upgrades (a liberal estimate). There were a couple of points where I stopped to battle multiple waves of enemies to gain extra XP to tackle this problem, but if you derez before a checkpoint, that extra XP goes away, so this tactic might work, but may be a waste of time.
