Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

General over view:

cons: the game is too short problems with the camera for some its too easy to beat

Pros: The game is beautiful - fantastic art. the music is awesome..and of course familiar. The acting is great. In particular the lead actors- The Apprentice, Juno, Proxy, Maris and Kota. The way their images were used in the animation was cool. The performances they all gave were great...also the voice actors for the smaller roles, I thought were good too.

The story is great too. There was a lot to fit in, and I didn't think they would make it work, but they did. I was happy with what they created and how it all tied together.

I think the main problem was over-hype. The game is great- it just was slightly less amazing than the initial hype lead everyone to believe. I don't know how they could have made everyone happy - but I think this worked for the majority of the masses. I know I enjoyed it and almost all of my friends felt the same way.

Shame it isn't canon anymore but to be fair it doesn't fit in with the timeline all that well. Still a fun game though.

Well what can I say? This game is pretty much what a star wars fan should play.

So Darth Vader invades a planet of wookies, he battles a jedi finds out that the Jedi had a son. Years to come he trains the son to become his apprentice and calls him by the name Starkiller.

The actual game play is good, some levels were frustrating but I still got there.

The GGI was also good and so was the Mocap from the actors that voiced and motion scoped them.

The only thing I didn't like was the ending but overall it was a good game.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed is absolutely incredible! This is without doubt one of the best video games ever made! I loved the story; the story was about the cruelty of betrayal, the corruption of power, the need to repent and become a hero in order for there to be peace and embrace love. The gameplay combat was super super fun running around with your lightsaber and using all your force powers to make you the all-powerful, and unstoppable warrior was so very fun! The music soundtrack was the perfect Star Wars music that sounded awesome. The attention to detail with all the futuristic technology on all the different planets you went to was beautiful. Without any doubt Star Wars the Force Unleashed is one of the best videogames ever made that I would strongly recommend, and would really love to see more video games like in general. Have a great day, and gooo Star Wars the Force Unleashed!

This game is quite enjoyable because of its gameplay, campaign and how the story links so well to the rest of the saga, especially the last three episodes. There are many highlights to this game, and a few flaws...but mostly it's one that Star Wars fans should buy because of its freedom in the way you create your character and the way they introduce already-created planets which have not received much attention from those who've only watched the movies.

Gameplay - The gameplay is top-notch, the way you are able to move around like a Jedi, jump and fight like a Jedi, and use a variety of memorable Force powers like a Sith. You really do get the sense that you're this extremely gifted and powerful apprentice who goes around killing Jedi (it's nice to play an antagonist for once), and taking orders from this famous villain who is shown to be cruel and evil. The Force powers are nicely thought-of, as well as the ability to unlock new moves and upgrade yourself using the Levling system. There are some originals, like Force Push, Force Lightning and Saber-throw, but there are also a few new ones, like Force Repulse and Lightning Shield which both also have their roles to play.

Story - The plot is quite simple, and very much like Assassin's Creed. It somehow expalains many things that have happened in the later films, like the creation of the Rebel Alliance in the first place and how its symbolic crest came about. Very subtle things but they just project such realism into The Force Unleashed.

Total Mark: 8/10
