As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, but you’ll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuck you’ll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, “Battle Mode.” Joining the Dark Side doesn’t seem like such a bad idea after all.

Game Features:

• During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice.
• Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice’s four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
• Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
  • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force push enemies into walls - he’ll Force push enemies through walls.
  • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he’ll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
• In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
• Visit locations such as Episode III’s Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
• The Wii system’s “Battle Mode,” a one on one fighting arena simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Ter?s K?si.
• Use the Wiimote to slash and pierce your enemies with your Jedi Lightsaber while you use the Wii Nunchuk to disable other opponents with your Force Powers.
• LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Another mediocre game with the Star Wars name
George Lucas created Lucas Arts, and from the moment of inception has produced some really lack-luster games. Of course, they have also produced some real gems - The Knights of the Old Republic and Tie Fighter come to mind, but The Force Unleashed is just another shovel ware produced by the studio - and this is truly a disappointment. In fact, knowing that most Star Wars games are bad, The Force Unleashed is really disappointing. After several delays we finally get to play as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice. The story is classic Star Wars - Darth Vader discovers a young boy that has Force sensibility that mirror his own as a lad and trains him as an apprentice to over throw the Emperor. It takes place after Revenge of the Sith and before A New Hope and fills in all the details between the two films.

The game isn’t entirely bad. The effort put into the surroundings will place you squarely into the Star Wars universe with a genuine feel. But the gameplay sinks the game fast. The controls are sluggish and you’ll find yourself falling into the dark abyss more often than not. The camera is jittery and makes it almost impossible to accurately use your force powers. You’ll also notice that no matter how you build your character you’ll never be able to simply overpower the enemy - and this is bad, since being a Sith you should be able to crush at least minor opponents. Speaking of which, the AI almost acts like no one is home … I mean, you can literally stand in front of them and they’ll do nothing.

The game is also loaded with glitches that will hinder your advancement. The boss battles don’t fit in with the story and more often than not, they’re just pumped up enemies. The game has some ridiculously tedious aspects in it as well and you’ll end up getting bored with them rather quickly. With so much hype surrounding this game, a gamer expects a game that utilizes the Star Wars franchise, not just bits and pieces from other areas pulled together and shoveled out.

5 Stars good
The game is great I like the hands on aproach and

I love star wars it’s almost like you are really there.

3 Stars Action game with a sloooow camera, and didn’t I hit him???
Just got this game last week and was hoping for something even a little close to KOTOR in fun and play time. So I started playing this on my recently lucked into Wii and this games only so so. To start with, the camera really kills me, it’s so slow when you turn around trying to fight bosses that they are in front of me but the camera is very slowly turning away from being focussed on just me. The bosses are jumping around here and there and some bit of scenery is in the way so I can’t see anything and the camera sloooooowly moves till you can see, after you get hit a few dozen times or so. I just hate it when I turn around and the camera takes forever to turn around so I can see in the new direction, really really not good in an action game. It also seems that the damage to the bosses is really odd most hits seem to do nothing with him not noticably blocking at all, then other hits block or no do nice damage. I so far only have about two or so hours playing and the story looks like it can turn out nicely. Wanting to keep playing with the odd damage and horrible boss fighting might not keep me going to the end though, no need to force my self to play when there are other much better games out.

5 Stars THE GREATEST GAME EVER!!!
This is without a doubt the greatist game i have ever played!!! every thing is awsome. i dont know what people are talking about the camra angles being bad??? i have played several hours, and have not had a problem. the coolest move is griping your appount in mid-air and throwing your lightsaber from across the room into his chest. i have to admit, the one thing i think would make this better would be online play some how. but the gameplay as it is, is over the top!!!

2 Stars overhyped for wii
I was very excited when i got the game for wii. i had fun killing the wookies in the prolugue part of the game, but once i got up to the rouge jedi i couldnt beat the game. here we are playing as darth vader and we cant defeat this guy on wii it aint fair. the controls are so out of wack there just is no way of defeating the person without cheat codes and you cant start using any till after you get past the jedi. so i am stuck in the prologue and ill prolly bnever play the game again till someone gives me better hints at beating it than what is online now.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Force Fun
Throwing storm troopers into on-coming traffic, blasting doors open with the force. This game encompasses all that any starwars fan would want. The use of the Force weapons is magnificent, and the story is… okay. The force unleashed is a little simple at first but as you progress you are forced to use your abilities in new and exciting ways. The only downfall to this game is that it is ra little short.

5 Stars Excellent game
The graphics are beautiful, the storyline great, the controls to me seemed pretty fluid and if you don’t want it to be short like other reviewers put it, try playing it on the hard difficulty, I promise if you’re an experienced gamer, it’ll add more life to the game. Overall, I got it because I bought soul calibur 4 and was curious, and truthfully it didn’t disappoint.

3 Stars Somewhat of a disappointment…that could have been avoided
First, let me say that I really, really wanted to love this game. However, there were quite a few drawbacks in this game that prevented me from really loving it. The story is intriguing and the soundtrack is typical star wars. The graphics are quite good, though it would have been nice if they were true HD. For the most part the gameplay is adequate. The locking deal is glitchy at best and makes the use of the force on enemies a trial and error endevour, which should not be. Also, the “finishing” moves are completely lame. The moves flash so quickly, and out of time with the animation, that it is nearly impossible to finish on the first attempt let alone the 4th, 5th, or 6th attempt. All of these combined really take away from the game play experience and leads me to believe that either there was little testing or most of the glitches were ignored to meet a release date. A mediocre game with a great story, that could have easily been great. I would recommend picking this one up used or wait until it’s in the bargain bin…definitely not worth full price. This is another game in a long line of others, which beg the question…did anyone actually play this before they put it in a fancy box and set it on a store shelf? There are just too many portions of nonsense in this game to lead me to believe that they did.

5 Stars Fun & Challenging Fighting
I’ll admit that I wasn’t very impressed with the Star Wars franchise after Episodes 1,2, and 3 came out. But when you start up the game and are walking around with Darth Vader blowing guys off cliffs with hardly any effort, you can’t help but feel awesome. I’d purchased this for my sister after she’d played the death out of the demo released on the PS3. I had my doubts about it, it looked complicated and I wasn’t too sure about this whole apprentice storyline. Since when does Vader need an apprentice?

Well she loved it and it’s lots of fun to watch. I started playing it and then so did one of our friends too. The storyline is more surprising than what you’d expect and some of the Jedi Masters (bosses) you have to fight are crazy difficult, even on normal mode.

PROS

- Fun to play and to watch. Definately keeps you entertained, even if the person playing dies fairly frequently.

- Challenging fights that grow in complexity as you get further in the game.

- Some problem solving (ie. finding a way to get out, finding your way through a door) which puts in nice breaks into the frequent action.

- New outfits for your character after each level and you can switch back to any you unlock.

- Hard-to-find lightsaber upgrades, color changes, and style changes through each level.

- Plenty of variety in the fighting methods used. You have lightsaber attacks, combos, aerial attacks, lightning, force, and even grapple moves.

- Graphics are stunning and the characters are incredibly realistic. Some of the planets you go to are just amazing to see on Hidef.

- God of War type of boss finishes. By this I mean they tell you what button to press randomly on the screen and you have a time limit to hit it. Also, you’ll randomly have rapid-button challenges and rapid-analog movement during the boss fights. Watch out for them.

- Did I mention there are add-on packs they sell on the PS3 network too? Supposedly you can play as Obi-Wan, which I think would be awesome. ^_^

CONS

- Takes some time to get used to all your moves. I suggest playing around with all the buttons you have even before they walk you through the tutorial. Once you have them down though the moves aren’t difficult.

- Sometimes you have to turn the camera around alot to be able to see if you’re missing something or if you’re looking for enemies. At times this made me a little dizzy, but only in the large environments. Take a break and then go back to it later if you’re one of those types of people.

- A video game costing $60 is always pretty steep. But with an HD television the graphics are beautiful and have a cinematic quality. I recommend puchasing it used if possible with light use. I got it for almost half price this way from Amazon.

OVERALL

All in all a great game, one that’s turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected. It made me interested in the Star Wars franchise again, something I didn’t expect. If you haven’t tried out the free demo on the PS3 network, I highly recommend it. It helps you get used to the camera angles and fighting moves, though the final game is much more fluid in my opinion.

Recommended for gamers that like complicated fights, a plethora of moves, awesome boss maneuvers, and some puzzle solving.

2 Stars If only it played like the Demo
I checked out the demo for this game at a local store and decided to buy it. I knew the demo version was made to show you the best parts and a beefed up version of the player you would start with, but I was just hoping before he got that buff that he’d still be pretty strong.

I started the game on Medium difficulty. I figured it’d be a little challenging, but nothing too hard for my first run through. The first couple levels of the game are great. You learn how to use all your powers and combos. Enemies can hurt you, but as long as you move around they don’t kill you. Every enemy drops health so you can stay alive pretty easily.

Once you reach the 3rd world that all changes. The enemies there can block all of your lightsaber attacks, making you rely on force powers only. Great? No. Your powers drain your energy fast. It recovers fairly quick, but before that can happen you must retreat every time to recover before heading back in.

The game just gets harder from there. My stopping point was after I died 8 times against a guy who isn’t even a boss. I’m sorry, but I don’t think there should be any enemy who can kill you in 5 seconds. Certainly not one who isn’t even a boss. Clearly this game was designed for you to die a lot in order to figure out the “trick” for each area.

Attacking with a saber moves your guy forward. If you’re on a narrow walkway, you will fall off. If you use your quick step, you can’t stop it half way. If you do this near an edge you will fall off. If an enemy is shooting you off-screen while you’re near a ledge, you will fall off. If you are near explosive barrels and either you or an enemy hits them, they blow up and…you guessed it, you fall off.

After the many deaths and annoyingly long load times, I restarted the game on Easy. Now the concern is it’s TOO easy. I can just stand around and get blasted and it barely hurts. Why are my choices to die constantly or die of bordum because there’s no challenge?

Constant dying and ledges of doom aside, the rest of the game isn’t much to write home about either. The targeting system is terrible. There are so many objects you can lock onto with your force grab, that the only way you can accurately lock on to an enemy is to practically be right next to them. I am always finding myself ready to beat the crap out of a rock instead of the guy shooting at me with the machine gun.

Your force powers don’t have a very far range either. However, the enemies can blast you from the other side of a room. So you have to try to dodge and take cover while you run close enough to them to attack. Then when you reach them you can only kill 1 or 2 guys at a time. The rest scatter away and blast you more. So you are running all over in a desperate attempt to kill everyone before your life reaches zero.

The camera angles also increase difficulty. It seems I always have to fight an enemy that I can’t see. By the time I turn around and move the camera it’s either time to run away so I don’t die or he’s moved and I have to hunt for him again. There’s a button that’s supposed to auto-direct the camera to look in front of you, but it wasn’t doing a very good job for me.

I was quite disappointed with the lack of force powers as well. Most people might not find this a problem, but I’m used to Star Wars games like KOTOR where you had a very large pool of abilities to choose from. Here I have the power to pick up stuff, push away stuff, and shoot things with lightning. Sure there are a few ways to use those powers, but in the end those are the 3 you get to use. Many of the enemies end up being immune to one of your powers anyways, so you are left with that much less to choose from.

Why are there so many lightsaber combos? This is called FORCE unleashed, not LIGHTSABER unleashed. If I wanted a game full of sword fighting, Star Wars would be one of my last choices. Instead I get this big list of button combinations I will never remember. I use 4 or 5 of the 40+ they give you. It’s already hard enough to target the enemies, why should I learn 40 combos that will hardly hit?

With the complaints out of the way I will note my couple compliments. The graphics are wonderful. Everything has so much detail, it’s quite obvious that graphics team put in a lot of work making you feel like you were really running around there.

There is so much you can interact with. Just about everything can be moved around or blown up. Most of it won’t help you one bit, but it’s fun to just pick up some giant door and thrown it around a room with the force. Even more fun when you have enemies around to drop a tie-fighter onto.

I enjoyed the leveling system. The different power spheres for your 3 types of skills was a nice touch. I was hoping to collect more force and combat spheres instead of all those combo ones, but whatever.

So there you have it, my thoughts of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Hopefully Lucas Arts learns from what people didn’t like about this game and applies that knowledge on the next project.

5 Stars Exciting and addictive
This is one of the most exciting and interesting game that I ever played. The graphics are terrific and the animations are supreme, the artificial intelligence is very good which give you an incredible impression to be inside the game. You have a great amount of movements and you really can fell that the force is manifesting on you. This game gives you a great story and hours of addictive diversion.

1 Star Worst Plot contrivance since Palpatine Created the Seperatist Movement in the prequels
Palpatine Creates the Rebellion. This is the worst thing George Lucas has ever done to star wars next to creating Jar Jar, or not releasing the original films restored in anamorphic dvd releases.

The hack and Slash is fun for about a single play for a few hours then gets boring. Rip Off of god of war just not as good.

Starkiller a throw away cradboard character. The emporer’s voice over was bad as was darth vaders. The rest of the cast was good to excellent. The graphics of course are stunning as well as the environments.

Leia looks hot in this game and Jimmy Smitts voices Bail still not enough to sell a game. Juno Eclipse also was a hottie in this game, still the game deserves zero stars for its plot.

3 Stars Mixed Feelings
This game produces mixed feelings for me. I like Star Wars quite a bit, but this game has the Lucas Arts rushing to get to production feeling to it.

THE GOOD:

Visuals, visuals, visuals. Many of the visuals in the game are outstanding. From the cutscenes to the places in the storyline itself, the player feels like he is in the SW universe. The voice acting is quite good as well. The music is good but can be repetitive at times.

THE BAD:

Gameplay. I felt like was taken back to the 1990s. Way, way too much jumping from ledges, especially where everything had to be timed so absolutely perfectly. Then, invariably the player falls and has to start all over. That could be incredible frustrating at times. The game also uses many of the same planets twice, and the coolest levels are often the shortest. I’d rather have a longer Cloud City and a much shorter Felucia.

Finally, this game is quite fun, don’t get me wrong, but it’s no KOTOR.

4 Stars Fun, but a little short
Had fun playing, but it was over way to quickly. Some of the boss or larger battles are reduced to hitting one of the four letter buttons at the correct time, so that can get kinda repetitive. Overall, I had a fun time with it and since I got it as a gold box deal the price was right.

5 Stars Lots of fun
very fun game to play, easy for my 8 year old to play also on easiest settings.
