The release of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith feature film in the UK has only consolidated the game's position at the top of the UK video game charts, following a dominant position in previous weeks, with Lego Star Wars now moving up two places to join it. There have also been some notable new entries in the chart, though, with THQ’s WWE Wrestlemania 21 marking another impressive performance for an Xbox exclusive title, and another good match of property and console demographic. Similarly, first-party Xbox title Forza Motorsport continues to do well, and has lasted much longer in the top ten than most other Xbox-only releases. Considering the critical response it has received, Midway’s Area 51 has done well to enter at number eight, while Namco’s PlayStation 2 exclusive MotoGP 4 has performed largely to expectations, with an entry at number sixteen. Finally, the release of the Nintendo DS version of Need for Speed: Underground 2 has seen that title re-enter the top forty at number seventeen, with the DS version accounting for 56 percent of sales this week.
