Features

The saga continues in Star Wars™: The Force Unleashed, casting players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. Set in the era between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, players must assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi, and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.




The power of the Force: The core powers of the Force can be upgraded throughout the game. Use Force push, grip, repulse, and lightning in powerful combinations. Force grip an enemy in mid-air, zap them with lightning, then throw them to the ground.
Familiar and new universe elements: Interact with familiar characters such as Darth Vader and new adversaries such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians. Visit locations including Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk, the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, and an Imperial TIE Fighter construction facility.
New technologies: The game debuts Pixelux's Digital Molecular Matter system that incorporates the physical properties of items in the environment, making wood break like wood, and glass to shatter like glass. The game also features Natural Motion Ltd.'s euphoria, a revolutionary behavioral simulation engine enabling characters to move, act, and even think like actual human beings.





Achievements: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/star-wars-the-force-unleashed/achievements/

Just got my Game Informer mag last night and it looks like we get a new Star Wars game for the 360 console. If you remember E3 last year, there was some "closed door" footage that showed some Jedi just laying the smack down on the Empire:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6FbhqCnOvs

Well, it looks like this November we'll get to play it; aptly name Force Unleashed, you play as the aprentice to Lord Vader himself as he trains you to overthrow the man who made him who he is. Set between Episodes III and IV, the main character (named Apprentice in the article but noted that this will not be the real name given) builds his force powers up as he hunts down the few rogue Jedi that are left in the galaxy.

From what the article says, they are using the same engine that Lucas Arts is using for the next gen Indiana Jones game. Since I can't remember the exact names I'll just describe them:

The first engine focuses on the enemy AI, allowing them to react realistically to their environment. One example given is that if a catwalk is collapsing, a trooper may grab for the ledge and attempt to hold on, if his strength is high enough, he may even pull himelf back up; if another trooper is falling, he may try to grab onto his buddy to save himself which could pull them both down. Another example said that a trooper was following the Jedi into a room intentionally designed with tons of crates. As the Jedi tossed crates at the trooper, he would duck and jump if he anticipated the objects coming towards him, but if he was too late he would pull his arms up to try blocking it. Also noted is that the trooper would get knocked off balance and would try to correct himself.

The other engine says that it will allow for real-time shifting of the enviroment. If you force-pull a beam from a catwalk (there was alot of catwalk mentions in the article) it would fall or break apart; if you force push a character into a stone piller it may shift a little or crack a bit, but if you throw a AT-ST cockpit into it then it'll shatter and the cockpit may dent a little.

All-in-all the game sounds sweet, but it also sounds like it's very linear and your Jedi freedom may be a bit bound. For example, they described one scene in which you fight against a Jedi that has a bunch of Rancors; in order to defeat a Rancor, you have to toss somthing at it to disorient it, then get close to it and have it eat you, then do a force power to explode it from the inside ... not sure I like having to kill something ONLY one way.

I really wish LA would bring out a Star Wars game in a sandbox environment. It'd be damn sweet to cross breed GTA with Star Wars to give players a deeper gameplay experience. Either way, I'm sure I'll be getting this game, from the sounds of it it'll be freaking SWEET!!!

[Jek Porkins]

This game has serious potential. I hope it can live up to it.

[rodeojones903]

That looked awesome!

[Rei no Otaku]

Wow that sounds freaking sweet. Hunting Jedi? Hell yeah. I can't wait to see how this game comes along.

[coolsteel]

I was wondering what happened to this game, a little far away but hopefully it won't suck

[jollydwarf]

Big Star Wars fan here, but...

...this'll probably be total shit. Prepare your "But a 5.0 ain't so bad!" rhetoric, kids.

I'm also guessing the (assumed) Wii lightsaber game will utterly suck because, well, they won't even have to try and they know it.

EDIT: For example, they described one scene in which you fight against a Jedi that has a bunch of Rancors

This alone sounds like a revenge fantasy that Ghyslain, the "Star Wars Kid", dreamt up while crying himself to sleep in his piss-stained bed.

That would rule.

But the way this game sounds intrigues me quite a bit. The possibilty of what online multiplayer might be like is what is really getting me going about this title. I just hope they don't drop the ball on this one. I don't want another Obi Wan.

[getmyrunon]

Euphoria
Endorphin?

That is a pretty sweet looking engine... even just in model form. Someone give it to a next-gen football maker.

[jollydwarf]

No, that might make EA's yearly 'effort' actually great again. And of course the jersey-wearing sycophants would lament "But, yo, it just ain't Madden no more, dawg!"

[defiance_17]

No, that might make EA's yearly 'effort' actually great again. And of course the jersey-wearing sycophants would lament "But, yo, it just ain't Madden no more, dawg!"

Quite right.

I remember reading an article about the new Indiana Jones title, and while it sounded pretty cool, I've become rather skeptical of such "revolutionary" programming. The previews always start with something cliche like, "Picture this:...," and then when the game comes out you find it's just a few context-based animations that more often than not will happen no matter how you play.

But then again, what the fuck do I know. Every doubt I've had regarding anything with the 360 has been cleanly removed so far, and I would love for that trend to continue.

[Zurezo]

hunt down jedi = gold

[captmurphy]

Everybody knows the Dark side is better, it's finally time LA realized this as well.... :-)

[Kaijufan]

I hope this game is good, though I would much rather see a new Battlefront.

[whoknows]

Game looks cool, if it turns out to be as good as it looks I'll be picking it up for PS3.

[mrcheapo11]

I thought Anakin(and the Empire) killed all, or nearly all, the Jedis in Revenge of the Sith. And aren't the only surviving ones at the time Luke and Obi-Wan? So how can one hunt a Jedi in this game, if there aren't any?

Well, I am probably wrong in my above statement, but I hope this game is good, with good multiplayer. If it plays like the Jedi Knight games, it should be good.

Edit: Woops, forgot about Yoda being a surviving Jedi.

If I remember correctly some survived and went into hiding (remember Obi Wan was able to send a warning message when they broke into the temple, replacing the message that was telling them to return to the temple), and Vadar was hunting them down and killing them between episodes 3 and 4.

[Richlough]

This game should be cool if you start with basic force powers , and learn and level up your dark force powers .

[Rei no Otaku]

I just hope the game lets you actually be dark side. You better not turn good halfway through or something like that. Let us play as a villain please.

[mrcheapo11]

Yea, I am pretty sure you are right. I just haven't seen any of the movies in a while, and didn't pay much attention when I did watch them.

Well, hopefully this game will still be good.

[lordxixor101]

Yea, I am pretty sure you are right. I just haven't seen any of the movies in a while, and didn't pay much attention when I did watch them.

Well, hopefully this game will still be good.

I think we'd be ok storywise anyway. Anakin wiped out the Jedi on Coruscant (not sure if I spelled this right), and the Jedi Counsel, but there was definitely an impression that there were many Jedi. So, it would be unlikely that he got all of them (and Lucas likes to leave these parts of the story in between the movies, either because he likes to jump to new plots or to leave plot room for the books, etc (come on, Luke just showed up at Return of the Jedi as pretty much a full fledged Jedi, he left Empire as an undertrained Jedi wannnabe.

Man, I hope this game rules. I love Star War games.

[CrimsonPaw]

Don't worry, you play the Dark Side through the entire game from what I read. I totally agree, the way of the Sith is much better (Hell, Tie Fighter is still my favorite Star Wars space combat games).

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

The Star Wars saga continues this November in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

[jollydwarf]

If I remember correctly some survived and went into hiding (remember Obi Wan was able to send a warning message when they broke into the temple, replacing the message that was telling them to return to the temple), and Vadar was hunting them down and killing them between episodes 3 and 4.

That's correct, and as this game proves, much of the "EU" material we'll see across a variety of media in the coming years will be how Vader relentlessly hunts them down across the galaxy, so that by the time the Tantive IV enters the frame in Episode IV, there are only two left. A 'midquel' era with no lightsaber fights would be one that doesn't make Lucas mucho dinero, and that clearly ain't happenin'. Hell, there could be one hundred or a thousand Jedi out there, for all we know. They will bend and revise things as they see fit to maximize fan spending.

I still don't like the idea of Vader having a pseudo-Sith apprentice to do his dirty work. (Although having Vader do fuckin' backflips and other Ninja Gaiden-y moves would really look silly, an issue that I'm sure heavily influenced the direction here.) The Jedi should die at the hand of his crimson blade, or by an onslaught of stormtrooper fire, or relentless bounty hunters. Also, it takes away from his discovery of Luke giving him the 'epiphany' that his dream of ruling the galaxy as a family could happen. But the kids love those anti-heroes and Star Wars needs its marketing meeting-born "Shadow the Hedgehog", I guess!

[Logain8955]

Very interesting premise for the game. Hopefully, it'll be good.

[CrimsonPaw]

Also, it takes away from his discovery of Luke giving him the 'epiphany' that his dream of ruling the galaxy as a family could happen.
Not sure when it happens, but wasn't it eluded to that the Emperor expected Luke to take him out. I know in Jedi he said something to the fact of "take your blade and strike me down to complete your transition to the dark side". I don't know, it's possible that Vader was looking to train someone to help him get revenge on the Emperor.

[jollydwarf]

The Emperor wanted Luke to give in to the Dark Side, because Vader was a shell of what he could've been thanks to The Duel. Vader at some point (for some, arguably from the fateful "What have I done?!" moment in Palpatine's antechamber/office) felt resentment towards the Emperor and felt like he could overthrow him. Both of them wanted Luke to off the other. As the novelization of Revenge of the Sith put it, "Treachery is the way of the Sith."

Maybe it's just my personal OT-loving bias clouding my vision, but I'd like to think that Vader never really made an effort to team up with one individual to possibly take down Palpatine until he found Luke. Besides, you would think that the Emperor would discover Vader's 'midquel' pupil one way or another, sooner or later, and have them both taken care of. With Luke, it was much muddier, because they both outwardly decided to coerce him to join them (see: the Empire hologram scene), while internally, they were both viewing him as the downfall of the other.

It's probably really tough to make an exciting game around Vader while not making him look laughable. I understand that. But concerning whatever 'apprentice' character ("Ya fried!") they've concocted, he or she is most likely going to be bland and utterly disposable. Hell, Vader pre-helmet was, as it turned out.

I would like to see a Jedi-in-hiding game set during this same timeframe (it's a big galaxy!) that makes you use your powers and lightsaber judiciously so as to not draw too much attention from the 'locals', but that'd be asking for gamers to show Patience, a Jedi-like trait, and that'll happen as soon as Lucas is asked to 'punch up' Josh Whedon's next script.

[LinkinPrime]

Holly Shit!!!!! :shock:

The game looks sweet as hell. This holiday season is going to kill me. :-P

[danked]

the new trailer is fucking sweet, cait wait for this game

[PagingDrUgly]

I don't get it at all - its so over the top, its ridiculous. Pulling down an entire cruiser? Ultimate fan service? Thinking back to all the Jedi duels and "powers" in the original trilogy, such as Obi and Vader's lightsaber battle or Luke flipping out of the trap and Vader thinking "impressive" - that was TAME. It makes me think, if Lucas had the technology at the time, would he rethought the entire original trilogy to be more Ninja Gaiden-esque as someone already mentioned. Is the only reason Vader didn't still flip around in III+ because the visuals weren't advanced enough for the day? The special effects available at the time seem to have more of a sway on the direction of the action then the story. I understand that "force unleashed" suggests more power than we have ever seen before, but at this stage, its maddening. Apprentice my cheeks, every action shot from that game suggests he/she's the most powerful Jedi ever. Pass.

-Dr. Ugly

[Wolve11]

I absolutely love the trailer.......but doesn't it look strangely familiar to the trailer in the OP. The whole Tie Fighter destruction part maybe?

Seriously though, if they can make this similar to the KOTOR series than I will be sold.

[Kundismack]

Who is angry that they changed the release date to SEPTEMBER as opposed to April? I was looking extremely forward to this game hearing that it offers an experience similar to that of KOTOR (one of my favorite games).

[terribledeli]

People were expecting it in April?

Especially when the new animated series starts in August?

If there's one thing Lucas does well, it's marketing products so close together that you get caught in the frenzy and come home with waaay too much Star Wars related crap.

[thrustbucket]

I'm not surprised. But I never heard April, I was expecting June/July.

But they must have a reason. If they released it in April, you would likely be very disappointed.

[bardockkun]

Not surprised, but GODDAMN that's a long wait now.

[Unickuta]

Excellent, remember when they put out KOTOR 2 early? Ugh.

[Kundismack]

The pre-release was scheduled for mid-April before they postponed it. I hope, with the extra time, they insure that this game will be worth buying. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but I absolutely loved KOTOR and after reading many previews this seems like it's going to be great. I'm probably going to forget about this game till about August now...*sigh*

[Nealocus123]

Whatever, as long as the game isn't shit when it comes out.

[FriskyTanuki]

Great news. Let them take as much time as they need to make this a great game.

[Jek Porkins]

I was initially disappointed, but the timing is probably better for me with GTA IV coming out around the initial date. I hope the polish does the game a lot of good.

[Wolve11]

Sucks to have to wait......but hopefully it'll be worth it....now give us KOTOR 3 already!


"Having a little trouble here" CRASH!!!!!! "Porkins" - Blue Harvest....

[Rooster752]

I didn't read that it had been delayed, but I'm kinda glad. Previews that I read said it showed promise but looked a little rough in terms of frame rate. This game looks awesome, but I'd like to see it live up to its full potential.

[Mrcapcom]

o rly? I heard it was coming out april 2nd dag that sucks sept is really far

[FoxHoundADAM]

Great, thus begins the dely of all the good games to the same 3 month time frame.

Although honestly I think this game is being a little over hyped right now.

[LinkinPrime]

Darth Vader playable on the first level of the game...click on link for interview and a pretty cool video:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32608.html

[the3rdkey]

I know I will end up playing this game(rental). But, swinging around a light saber and not cutting dudes apart is lame.

is lame.


is lame.

really fucking lame

[TahoeMax]

Yaaa, they could've nerfed it for Wii and made it legit on PS3 and 360. I mean...even the PG-13 movies had some saber dismemberment. What gives?

[jollydwarf]

I've always said that the way around the lightsaber issue while avoiding the "M" rating is to have enemies hold you somewhat at bay with laser fire, have shields or devices that can actually block your blade (see: Grievous' guard droids), and when it comes to a duel, instead of actual health damage, each opponent has a 'Force bar' that depletes as it autoblocks attacks that you, the player, do not manually block (with a well-timed button press or analog stick movement).* CPU opponents would also have a similar health bar substitute, and their moments of oversight would have a visible cue of any animation that shows them momentarily losing their balance/fight stance. Eventually, you would strike the fatal blow. Of course, Jedi 'bosses' would have a much greater chance of successfully blocking your attacks, and given the nature of these kinds of games, would probably only be beatable by your using the environment and your other Force powers to temporarily stun.

Everything I mentioned there would be too much work for the programmers and 'the kids' wouldn't like the frustration of an actual, you know, duel, so forget about it ever happening. Fortunately for me, I have no interest in this game as a full-priced purchase (or anything close, for that matter), as I have very little faith that it'll be anything above and beyond a mediocre, fairly short Ninja Gaiden-extra lite with a Star Wars skin.

*--The autoblocking would work for blaster fire, too. Maybe a trigger could be used to slow down time for the duration of a bar that replenishes, so as to make it somewhat easier to manually block the bolts or projectiles.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wake me up when they make KOTOR III or something similar for the 360.

[Jek Porkins]

Wake me up when they make KOTOR III or something similar for the 360.


Rise and shine! They made Mass Effect!

[ananag112]

If KOTOR III is like Mass Effect, I will get it day one. I love Mass Effect and all, but I could not help thinking that it would have been better if it was based on Star Trek or Star Wars instead.

[KingofOldSchool]

Rise and shine! They made Mass Effect!

No shit.

I mean Star Wars related.

[chubbyninja1319]

Interesting. Definitely looking forward to this one.

[danked]

yeah game should be sweet

[foxdvd]

thats 3000 kills....

[Wolve11]

not to troll, but usually this info goes in the official thread yes?

[spideymike]

Any day we should be getting the demo for this, right? Can't wait!

[Corvin]

Wow, those achievements are a snoozefest. Really creative there Lucasarts.

[mgbasketball10]

I want this, but battlefront would have warranted a buy, this we'll see, looks like a one run and done game.

[crunchb3rry]

Wow, those achievements are a snoozefest. Really creative there Lucasarts.

As long as you're not one of the millions of people cheering Fable 2 for having the same type of simple task bullshit achievements, I'm with you 100%.

[Wolve11]

This is my #1 want for the rest of the year....above Gears and Fable 2.

[deszaras]

This is my #1 want for the rest of the year....above Gears and Fable 2.

Me too bro.

[lordwow]

Easy achievements are easy.

[The 7th Number]

Gametrailers just announced this game will have a demo up on Xbox 360 and PS3 on August 21st.

[exRounder]

Good. That means they've got nothing to hide... I hope.

[deszaras]

Awesome, I can't wait!

[Wolve11]

I want to experience the game in full when it comes out, i'm going to steer away from the demo as much as I can. I don't want any spoilers/teasers or whatever anymore.

[dmaul1114]

Glad there's a demo as there's probably at least 5 crappy star wars games for every decent one so I definitely want to try this out before even seriously considering picking it up.

[chubbyninja1319]

Sweet! Can't wait until the 21st to finally play this game. I really hope it plays as good as it looks. We haven't been flooded with SW games lately, and the Lego ones have been good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hey, as long as it doesn't have Ziro the Hutt, we'll be okay. Anyone who's seen the Clone Wars movie knows what I mean.

[electronicthroat]

I will definitely be checking out the demo and probably picking this up. It's Star Wars.

One thing I can't get past is that the Apprentice holds his saber backwards. I saw an interview on G4 with one of the developers and he said that they had never seen anyone hold their saber like that in the movies, so that thought it would be cool. Well, the reason no one holds their saber like that is because it's not good for defense. You wouldn't hold a sword or gun behind you in a battle. I guess I'm just looking too much into it.

[Maynard]

Well Joystiq had a write up on this game on their PS3 fanboy and they didn't really dig it that much. Lets hope the only reason is because it's a demo. They specifically pointed out the game looking lackluster, and the game itself just seeming sort of meh. Hopefully this game isn't going to have the star wars game curse of mediocre.

http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/08/19/hands-on-star-wars-the-force-unleashed/

[LinkinPrime]

Oh man that would suck...first Too Human and then this...I hope they're wrong.

[dmaul1114]

Yeah, I really don't have high hopes for this. From the videos it just looked like a pretty, generic beat'em game--but that could just be because I've never liked beat'em ups.

At any rate, still will give the demo a go as I'd like to have a good star wars game, but I'm not holding my breath.

[KingofOldSchool]

I knew it was not going to be that good once I heard it was not going to be like KOTOR. Seriously, they should have done something like that instead.

[Theduck]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssss

[s0undwav3]

It will have to be damn good to be as successful as KOTOR was. I will play the demo tomorrow anyway since I have been looking forward to the game, but I'm afraid it might be like Republic Commando. On a side note - I recently installed KOTOR on my PC to play over again, and just be a total bad ass and get my dark side as high as I could get it. The dark side ending is so much better.

[Rei no Otaku]

I will play the demo tomorrow anyway since I have been looking forward to the game, but I'm afraid it might be like Republic Commando.
That's a bad thing? Republic Commando was awesome.

[62t]

There were tons of good Star War games. From the PC Star Wars games (Tie Fighter, Jedi Knights), to Rogue Rogue Squadron, Pod Racer, ,KotOR, Lego Star Wars. Even the Super Star Wars on SNES were fun back in the day. Hopefully this will at least be decent

[pelf21]

That's a bad thing? Republic Commando was awesome.

I'll second that! I love that game

[Scorch]

DEMO IS UP

900MB OR SO

GOGOGOGOGOGO!!!! I've been waiting to have a go at this one for months!!! Please be a next gen Jedi Academy.. Please be a next gen Jedi Academy..

[Tha Xecutioner]

Game of the Year. period.

I love this demo, although it's very short. The controls are a bit to get used to (at least on the fly), but there is a ton of destruction to be had once you get them down.

[zewone]

This game is going to be fucking sick.

[bardockkun]

I don't know why, but first thing I tried doing is making the Stormtroopers hold hands like in the demo when they're in panic. Then I got a good laugh in making it happen, pretty damn fun and somehow dropped a TIE fighter on some troops as well...Though hoping the upgrades in the game exceed beyond using the force hold and hand holding attacks.

[Draekon]

Loved slicing the AT-ST in half.

[lilboo]

:bomb: I want to go home and play this

[lordwow]

I'll check this out when I get home.

[Maynard]

wow, I have to admit that the demo was a LOT of fun. I'm not really a Star Wars guy at all, but I was having so much fun throwing people around and just the fighting was a ton of fun.

[Chase]

I am rather interested to see if the hype is justified. I shall later download the demo. Here's hoping it impresses more than Too Human.

[electronicthroat]

days like this makes me wish I was still unemployed....

no not really

[guyver2077]

days like this makes me wish I was still unemployed....

no not really


same here.. (ok maybe not that extreme)

good to see decent impressions

[ananag112]

Game is really fun. Hopefully the full game is even better. You could probably finish the whole game just using the force powers.

[SAB-CA]

It's inspiring to think the force powers in the demo aren't the max level. You already feel like a mini-god among men from the get-go, even if you're not that invincible in the higher difficulties.


It's fun seeing him use many of the abilities I've gotten VERY used to him doing in Soul Calibur IV. I think some of the special effects look un-perfected (Theres a floating point of electricity above the lightsaber when you do electric-charged attacks, for example), so I hope a lot of that gets ironed out before the game releases. I do have to mention I love the Zelda-esque pause for impacts with melee attacks, and the camerawork whenever something extra impressive happens.

Seems like a very fun game!

[ananag112]

In the demo, could you force grab a Tie Fighter thats flying in the air? I wasn't able to lock onto it, but I did destroy it by bending a beam and letting the Tie Fighter slam into it.

[gareman]

damn.....stupid expired gold membership. I want this game so bad.

Is the demo really awesome, I mean does the basic engine seem to live up to the hype and promise?

[Rei no Otaku]

The demo was awesome. Can't wait for the game.

[LinkinPrime]

Awesome demo, didn't get to finish it since I was tired as fuck, but incredible...day one for sure!

[thesimplicity]

damn.....stupid expired gold membership. I want this game so bad.Dammit, I forgot about that. I guess I'll have to grab it on the PS3 instead when I get home.

Does this version use the d-pad at all? That's quickly becoming my litmus test for multi-platform releases... :-#

[DarkNessBear]

The demo was meh. Really disappointing. I guess you would like it if you weren't hyped up for the original force unleashed. I hate the targeting reticle and the green orbs that fly out and how enemies have health. I thought it was suppose to be "kicking ass with the force" not dwindling down their health. I don't like the skewed camera that is pulled back so you can't see the crappy character models. Bodies dissapear... the jumping looks dumb.

"I enjoyed slicing the atst in half!"

Yea like you really did it. You just do a crappy quick time event that could be easily played by a child on a kids toy.

Canceling my preorder.

[The 7th Number]

damn.....stupid expired gold membership. I want this game so bad.

Me too. Whats really dumb is i can download demos for arcade games the day they come out, but not the demos for retail games. Making people PAY to play demos right away is stupid, and robbery. Making me wait to buy gamerpics, or a theme is only going to decrease my chances of buying it. Because after a while, my impulse buying goes away, and logic sets in. So i think this one week wait is only hurting XBLM content. Plus i hate the fact that ill have to wait a week to buy GTA DLC even though ive paid 60 dollars for the game!!!! This is Madness. It should be like it used to be, where gold members could play online, and that was the only difference.

[jer7583]

Demo was dissapointing. It's a pretty bad action game with a fancy effects/license paint job put over it. The combat is just dull and lacks challenge. Even the force powers gimmick gets old quick, because you're basically just throwing things around, except it's not as fun as it was in Psi-Ops or Half Life 2.

The targeting is very innacurate and the camera sucks. It's too zoomed in to see all the cool stuff you're doing, and doesn't react quickly enough to everything going on.

Even worse is the lightsaber stuff isn't nearly as good as Lucasarts' own Jedi Knight games. It should have been similar to those with the new force things added in, and a little more ninja gaiden/DMC style fighting. As it is, it's a bad God of War clone that lets you throw people around. The shallow Quick Time Event at the end of the demo was the punctuation to my increasing "meh" feelings on the game.

Throwing enemies around was fun, the first few times, but it's not going to make a $60 purchase worthwhile. Add that there's no multi or co-op and hopefully the full game has a LOT more depth/challenge or this is going to be quickly limited to the kids table.

I did a more complete write up on the CAG blog, but it got lost just as I was finishing it. I might re-write if I get the patience.. grr.

Oh and I agree with all that to. It is odd that it devolved a level from the Jedi Knight titles.

[zewone]

ahahahahhaa

[Rei no Otaku]

You seriously think the Jedi Knight games had better lightsaber action?

[phantomfriar2002]

FINALLY...a demo that actually delivers!

I'm definitely there for this one. Thumbs WAY up :)

[jer7583]

Having controls mapped to your motions and enemies that could get dismembered accurately to how you swing/robots that got chopped up based on how you swing. Yeah, i'd say so. Those games had badass multiplayer too, and the option to fight with guns. This really is a step backwards in all ways but the force powers - which were more stat/gameplay based than TFU's flashy effects.

[TastyMouthful]

I hate to say this but quit being cheap and pay for a gold membership its 7.99 for a month not that freaking bad.

[lilboo]

What an interesting username you have, person above me :shock:

[62t]

I hate to say this but quit being cheap and pay for a gold membership its 7.99 for a month not that freaking bad.

It is bad when I can grab the same demo for free off my PS3.

[The 7th Number]

I hate to say this but quit being cheap and pay for a gold membership its 7.99 for a month not that freaking bad.

Eh, i would rather have a new game than spend 50 on XBLG just to download demos/themes/Gamerpics/Add ons a week early. Besides, anything less than a year gold membership is a rip off.

[lilboo]

Besides, anything less than a year gold membership is a rip off.

This

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I thought the demo was ok, but I can see it getting old really fast unless they mix up how you use the powers throughout the game. Using them to break open doors and manipulate locks is a pretty cool diversion but more stuff like that needs to be included in the full game.

The jumping just looks/plays awful though and I don't like how the camera is set up, it just seems too close. If the final result is like the demo, I think it will be a good rental.

Agreed.

[jman619]

I thought the demo was good. I'm not really a starwars fan,but after playing that I think I'll pick up the game.

[dmaul1114]

I haven't played the demo yet, but that was my take on the game. Even if it ended up being good, it would just be a rental as these types of action games are pretty short, repetitive and I seldom replay them.

Not a knock on the game, that's just how I am with action games, beat 'em ups etc.

[NateNinja]

I was really excited for this game, and was going to buy it on day one. So with that said, I was really disappointed with the demo. I'm glad they put out a demo because I would have wasted $6x.xx on a game that I would play through once. The thing I thought was really stupid was the jumping. I don't really know what the devs were aiming for here, but the jumping is just plain retarded. I think that's the best way to explain it. The force stuff was cool at first, but then it had an Assassin's Creed type of feeling, which was awesome at first, but got boring rather quickly. I am not going to be purchasing this game now, but instead will probably pick up Mercenaries 2, which comes out next week.

[coolsteel]

Loved it , day one purchase. That hangar part with the beams you can force push to destroy Tie fighters was a pretty cool thing to throw in that didn't matter in the slightest. Force holding a guy, bashing him on the floor and then the ceiling a few times was also pretty fun. My only real complaint is the lightsaber itself seem underpowered without using a combo move like force lightning with it.

[Razzuel]

I don't really like the game. The premise sounded really awesome but I think they got caught up in making the game feel to "gamey". Star Wars games never get lightsabers right. If I can cut a droid in half in the beginning of the demo then I should be able to cut a storm trooper in half or cut the leg of an AT-ST off. I mean it is a fucking lightsaber not a steel sword. I really would of liked if the force powers weren't restricted. I was running out of force power all the time which felt really lame. Unlimited force power would of been a lot more enjoyable. I know this would of made the game easy in its current state but that's why they are supposed to build a game around being a complete bad ass.

That AT-ST fight was really annoying and difficult. Eventually dieing and retrying became extremely monotonous so I quit. Oh an how the hell can an AT-ST cause a shockwave with its foot—stupid.

There was also a really lame animation fuck up too. I got knocked face first into the ground by the AT-ST. The AT-ST did its foot stomp and I got knocked off the platform, falling to my death, but I was still face down as if I was on the ground. Starkiller proceeded to stand up as if he was still on the ground not even realizing he is falling to his death.

[guyver2077]

i wooped that at-st pretty easily and quickly

[OnyxPrimal]

Eh, i would rather have a new game than spend 50 on XBLG just to download demos/themes/Gamerpics/Add ons a week early. Besides, anything less than a year gold membership is a rip off.

Agreed. I have Satellite Internet so no playing online for me. Not to mention I can only Download large files between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM or be baned from my Internet for 24 hours. Gold would be a waste of my cash.

[Malik112099]

im not a star wars fan at all nor have i ever played a star wars game (except rogue squadron on the N64) but found this game easy to pick up and have fun with

[BoSoxFan900]

Man, this game seems pretty awesome. I probably won't buy it day one, since I usually can only afford to buy a certain few games a year at $60, but I'll rent it for sure.

[DrunkMasterChief]

I like it. It is a fun game but there are few problems that kinda ruin the game for me.

1. The graphics are okay and stuff but I saw a couple of screen tearing and places where there was not graphics O.o

2. When your trying to aim your force power and it hits the wrong person or doesn't hit them at all. I also remember when I had an object and tried to through it at a tie fighter and it went to hit another person I did not even aim at that guy WTF

3. The force controls have to get better(but it wont happen)


I have more problems but whatever

[Mr_hockey66]

thought this wasn't out yet?

[DrunkMasterChief]

Demo is out

[Poor2More]

Im in the process of Downloading the Demo, taking a while though

Side note, Too Human is awesome fun!!

[DrunkMasterChief]

To me Too Human has way to much problems with the camera and the controller layout is dumb for me to be fun. I will probably get it when it hits $19.99

[KingofOldSchool]

I think this should be in the official thread...

[Poor2More]

To me Too Human has way to much problems with the camera and the controller layout is dumb for me to be fun. I will probably get it when it hits $19.99

The real game is so much better, you can change the camera (5 or so camera modes, choose ISO, give you that Diablo like perspective) I also hated the R stick melee attack, but I practice and got use to it after a few hours, now I kick butt and it feels natural

[ITDEFX]

Is it me, or does the cut scene hicup when Vader knights Starkiller?

He looks a bit different than his SC4 appearance.

[cochesecochese]

This was going to be a day one for me but then Wired magazine went ahead and spoiled the game's ending for me.

[lilboo]

Wow, this game reminds me of myself! Sexy and fun!

Day 1!

[Sofa King Kool]

Just played the demo, wasn't impressed, but then again, I was expecting to be. Very mixed reviews here. I, personally, think this game will be as 'hit or miss' as Assassin's Creed.

I must admit though, I enjoyed picking up storm troopers and hold them in front of incoming tie-fighters.

[chubbyninja1319]

Haven't played the demo yet, but as a huge SW fan, I'm just looking forward to the story.

Also, I read that Clone Commando RC-1138's helmet is an easter egg in the demo. That's just f'ing cool.

[foxdvd]

Demo made me stop preorder....this is why I love Demo's. I may still pick it up.

[Rei no Otaku]

Also, I read that Clone Commando RC-1138's helmet is an easter egg in the demo. That's just f'ing cool.
Where!?

[Malik112099]

downloading this right now on the PS3 to compare controls/gameplay/graphics/etc

[chubbyninja1319]

Where!?

I haven't played myself, but i guess it's near the end of the demo and you have to climb up to some high ledge. I read about it at gamefaqs. This link below isn't where I originally read about it today, but it has a link to a clip at gametrailers.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=933156&topic=45019102

[Rei no Otaku]

That's awesome. I really want a sequel to RC.

[lilboo]

Now I know this won't look as good on the Wii, but I wonder how it'll play.
:bomb: for the Wii not having demos :wall:

[dmaul1114]

I didn't care for the demo at all. Felt very bland and uninspired to me. I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan, but even the setting couldn't get me interested after the first couple of minutes.

[chubbyninja1319]

I definitely second the call for RC2. RC1 is my fave SW game to date.

[FuelDigga]

the demo was alright, but this won't be a day one purchase for me, i'll wait for release and some reviews, if its something that i can beat in a weekend then its going to be a rental for me.

[KaneRobot]

Not amazing, but worthwhile. Will probably grab it once it's in the bargain bin.

[Scorch]

Definitely a rental, not a first day buy for me just because they took out online support.

It's pretty amazing that you can do pretty much anything you can think of in the game. For example, there was a metal pole hanging down in the TIE hangar with all the ships flying by. I was like "Hmm, I wonder if I can bend this back.." so I tried it, and it worked. I kept giong back and back and back.. and pretty soon, every TIE fighter that flew by hit it and blew up :D

[whiptcracker]

It felt to me like Psi-Ops with a lightsaber. I'm also too much of a geek to accept an apprentice with the ability to toss around tie fighters like it was nothing.

[slickkill77]

It felt to me like Psi-Ops with a lightsaber. I'm also too much of a geek to accept an apprentice with the ability to toss around tie fighters like it was nothing.


Dont insult Psi-Ops like that. Psi-Ops was an amazing game

[Mrcapcom]

It felt to me like Psi-Ops with a lightsaber. I'm also too much of a geek to accept an apprentice with the ability to toss around tie fighters like it was nothing.

Your not the first person to say that and if its true then im most definitely buying I loved Psi-Ops so sad no sequel they left it wide open for one too.
Too bad I can't get on live right now to play the demo :-(

Dont insult Psi-Ops like that. Psi-Ops was an amazing game


OMG its nothing like psi ops?

[LinkinPrime]

Finished the demo last night...incredible demo, can't wait for full release.

[ZenTrickster]

Now I know this won't look as good on the Wii, but I wonder how it'll play.
:bomb: for the Wii not having demos :wall:

I was watching an interview with the game devs and they were saying that they play it PRIMARILY on the Wii. Apparently that's the system they felt was best for the game to be presented on. I'll see if if can find that video.

[coolsteel]

Your not the first person to say that and if its true then im most definitely buying I loved Psi-Ops so sad no sequel they left it wide open for one too.
Too bad I can't get on live right now to play the demo :-(

Its like Psiops on steroids , you can walk into a group of grunts and obliterate them so fast it might not even be clear to yourself what you just did.

[Kendal]

Dont insult Psi-Ops like that. Psi-Ops was an amazing game

Psi-ops had too many bugs and glitches to be amazing.

This demo made me actually want the game. I heard about it and saw some video online, but nothing interested me about it. But after playing it, I am stoked. I held reservation. I am certainly glad I didn't give into the hype wagon before I played the demo. I might be buying this on or slose to release. I liked cutting up the robots and then opening the windows and watching their little bodies fly out into the giant dark trash can of space.

[Costa]

The only reason for me to get this game on 360 or ps3 is that I can battle with my son in the duel mode even though its only offline

[LinkinPrime]

I love how you can mix the force powers in with combos, like how your light saber gets electrified or when you force push someone with a light saber and you basically bat a homerun with them :D

[The Great BM]

I was watching an interview with the game devs and they were saying that they play it PRIMARILY on the Wii. Apparently that's the system they felt was best for the game to be presented on. I'll see if if can find that video.

That would certainly explain the lackluster visuals. I was dismayed by the character models for Starkiller and Darth Vader, and some of the animations were less than stellar. I think the jumping was the worst offender. It was like a watered down version of Dante's Air Hike in DMC.

Other than that, I liked the demo. The Force powers were neat, and the combat, while not at the NG level, was enjoyable. Don't know if I'll pay the full $60 for it, but if I can get it at some sort of discounted price, I'll pick it up.

[CYRiX]

Will probably pick this one up.

[blueweltall]

I have major problems with the camera and locking onto the enemies didn't help either too. Force grip was hard to use in the heat of battle. I'm going to have to wait for a price drop on this one.

[Purple Flames]

I played the demo earlier and loved it, but one thing bothered me: even on the hardest setting I had a hard time dying. I was getting pelted with gunfire and my health never went below halfway.

I hope it was just for the sake of the demo.I'd like more a of a challege in the final version.

You must be pretty good, because I died like 5x's on the AT-AT section on normal before I beat it.

[PhoenixT]

I died on the first two setings one time each both at the AT-AT none of the soliders could really kill me or really hurt me that bad even ones with heavy repeaters.

[DrunkMasterChief]

I got really pissed at the AT-AT too. I got hit by those gay lasers then fell then got hit by it again then fell like wtf. I also remember when it started to stomp I fell over and it did it again and I fell over again WTF!!!!! Oh and the targeting was shit and when you do a combo you are stuck in the animation. The people who made the game just thought about the stupid physics to make the game really fun



EDIT: oh and wtf is with the targeting when you are force holding an object? I was aiming at a tie fighter that was docked and the stupid fool shot it forwards no where near the target:/

[Draekon]

You guys are talking about the AT-ST (http://www.vegatransports.com.au/2001/atst.jpg), not AT-AT (http://highlights.ultimatedvd.org/starwars/movie_stills/episode-5/AT-AT005.jpg). :P

I hope we come across an AT-AT. That would be fun to take down those huge four-legged walkers that were invading Hoth in the movies.

Hah, I was just about to post that it definitely wasn't an AT-AT you fought at the end...

However, I just couldn't get into this demo due to the crummy lock on. Maybe if there was like an easier way to switch between targets or I was too intoxicated when I played, I don't know. I'll wait on this one since there's other, better games coming out soon.

[Theduck]

I'm getting this day 1.

[slickkill77]

Psi Ops was fun because you had different powers and it was an xbox game. This is a 360 game and I would hardly say this was better than psi ops

[FrankySox]

I was COMPLETELY blown away by this demo. I'll have to keep playing it til the actual game comes out. So easy to learn, I had really no interest in this game but I'll have to check into it now, if it's a longer game I'll probably buy it.

[thesimplicity]

I frickin' LOVED this demo. I'm a Star Wars fan but I kind of lost interest in this game after it was delayed for the umpteenth time (I've been playing with TFU minis for almost a year now). This demo totally gave me a kick in the balls. I expected it to at least hold my interest because it was SW themed, but I didn't expect it to be a genuinely awesome game. That melee pause (a la Windwaker) does so much for the combat. Definitely picking this up day-one.

I have major problems with the camera and locking onto the enemies didn't help either too. Force grip was hard to use in the heat of battle. I'm going to have to wait for a price drop on this one.Did you explore the options screen? I was pretty pissed with the camera, but then I went in and tweaked the sensitivity and inverted it and it felt great. I also changed force grip to 'toggle' instead of 'hold' and it made a world of difference.

Making people PAY to play demos right away is stupid, and robbery. Making me wait to buy gamerpics, or a theme is only going to decrease my chances of buying it. Because after a while, my impulse buying goes away, and logic sets in. So i think this one week wait is only hurting XBLM content.I definitely would have say so, because I grabbed it on PSN, loved it, pre-ordered it and now have no reason to even try the XBLM demo. For consiole exclusive titles it may be incentive for people to upgrade, but, seriously... I can't imagine it's good for business in situations like this.

[PhoenixT]

ugh I thought the name was wrong but I didnt want to look it up to confirm ok *bows head* you can beat me about the head and shoulders for not getting the AT-STs name right.

[YodaEXE]

I have to admit that after playing the demo, I wasn't all that impressed. I mean, sure, it was neat playing with the powers and everything, but the targeting was crap and the lightsaber fighting was absolutely horrid. I'm rather disappointed in the game so far. I think I'll wait on this one til it drops to $20-30.

My thoughts exactly... although I absolutely loved opening doors.

[YodaEXE]

My thoughts exactly... although I absolutely loved opening doors.
Agreed. That was quite cool. Although I'm a bit disappointed at the way the doors seemed to always bend the same each time. And the fact that if I was slightly off one door would be completely unaffected, despite the wave passing through it.

[The 7th Number]

I just played the apprentice level and it was okay. It seemed a bit too easy, and the same thing over and over. Then at the end when i went against that 2 legged machine (i forget what they are called) it looked like i could use my force to pick it up, but i couldnt. Then when i was rapidly jumping and slicing it, random buttons came up for me to press in order. But while i was hacking away at it, i would always press the wrong button becuase the button sequence comes out of nowhere. I did beat it, but i really hate when they have press button A, then B, then X to complete something. I dont really like how fast he moves and jumps. But other then that its pretty cool. I think because its star wars that is what makes it cool. If it was some other franchise then maybe i wouldnt like it.

[Greetard]

I'm not feeling this. The lock-on system is too shitty to just ignore- not intuitive in the slightest. I think some people are letting the Star Wars license cloud their judgment.

[Bretters]

It was really fun playing around with the euphoria engine, the rest of it just seemed like an average rental game.

[lilboo]

I bet as your level increases, the moves are going to be a lot more fun to do.

I'm already liking the combo where you hold them with your foce, and hit 'B' to do that force push(?) to send them flyin!

[doorht]

i just played the demo and that was my favorite move

[Layziebones]

This game went from bottom of my list straight to the top after the demo. It is so fun to play and I recommend everyone play the demo. My favorite part was throwing someone and hitting some button that threw my lightsaber at him and hit him while he was flying.

The ending of the demo sucked though. That stupid machine sucks.

[Scorch]

Best combo.. X, Y then B. A strike, a strike charged with lightning, then a force push.

[nickmad]

rental if anything.

[Interstella 5555]

For once a demo actually did it's job and left you wanting more. I wasn't too excited about the game before, but this one looks very promising. I can say that this game could be my next favorite Star Wars game ever since Power Battles. My only gripe is that it doesn't have co-op like Power Battles.

[dchrisd]

Anybody know when the demo will be available to us unfortunate non-Gold members?

[The 7th Number]

Anybody know when the demo will be available to us unfortunate non-Gold members?

Well since it came out Thursday, next Thursday, the 28th.

[ivanctorres]

Not terribly exicted by the demo. I thought it was kinda meh. The graphics didn't blow me away and seems like throwing things will get boring after a while. Also can't help to think the the fighting in the game is a bit shallow. Although all my comments are premature bc the full game could offer more depth but would like the fighting to be akin to DMC, GoW and Heavenly Sword. Now that would be a kick-ass game.

[DarkNessBear]

Dont insult Psi-Ops like that. Psi-Ops was an amazing game

Yea. Speaking of Psi Ops when the fuck is 360 going to make it playable... I bought it cause I never played the full game (only the demo) but it doesn't work! Ergh!

Anyways about SW:FU, I have played the demo multiple times. On 360 and PS3, and I am actually a little into it now, if you have expectations and have been looking at the force unleashed since it was announced you will be highly disappointed, but once you get over that the really Force Unleashed is not coming then you can find some fun in the game.

Also they have the ability to turn most of the hud off which I commend! I just wish you could turn the targeting and green orbs off...

Also, I dunno if it's just me, but the PS3 version looks signficantly more sharp and the colors are more realistic. (360 version is to dark and the contrast is wanky.) That could just be HDMI vs Component.

Funny I had my ps3 hooked up through hdmi and it was way too dark, was a tad bit sharper that i'll agree on. 360 is hooked up via VGA and was much brighter.

[Littlefields]

Just played the demo yesterday. It seemed like it would get old quick. The graphics were what's expected, not really amazing. Seems the character is way too overpowered. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it was a Wii exclusive.

What would save this game:
- Refreshing, specific mission objectives and not just kill the shit out of everyone (Which I'm sure it has at least some of.)
- Some type of free roaming sections, like say: HQ's, crowded cities.
- Fighting Yoda or perhaps even Vader himself. (The intro seemed very suspicious.)
- Customizable character.

[Layziebones]

So I am not the only one who got the pedophile vibe?

[Littlefields]

So I am not the only one who got the pedophile vibe?
Nope. Vader is a straight up pedo.

"Where is your Master?"
"You killed my master years ago!"
"A son!"
"Run! Aghh..."

[OnyxPrimal]

After playing the demo I can honestly say I'm very excited for this game. I buy most Star Wars games anyway, but the demo ended all to soon for me. I think it really gives you a sense that you are a total bad ass from the get go.

[Wolve11]

Anyone see the commercial on tv yet? It is freaking cool. Man I can't wait for this game.

[Kaijufan]

I tried the demo today and I wasn't super impressed. It was decent and I'll most likely pick it up when it hits $30 or so.

Near the end of the demo when you're outside I did enjoy leaving one enemy alive, picking them up with the force, slowly moving them over the side of the buildings, and just letting them drop.

[DarkNessBear]

Ugh, this game is crap. So disappointing, why do all games turn out this way?

And then reading EGM put the final nail in the coffin for me, they mention that once you get around a quarter of the way through the introduce enemies that have "protective force armor" that cannot be gripped or pushed. And you fight them through the rest of the game...

Wow, way to be Unleashed with the force...

My most wanted game of the year is now my most dissapointing. Pass.

[whoknows]

Has there been any word on how long this game is? I'm hoping for at least 10 hours.

[Jek Porkins]

[Wolve11]

I'll judge this game for myself. I can't say I've ever really agreed with much of any that EGM has said in any review.

[lilboo]

Ok so maybe eventually you can't pick people up..but you don't know what kind of moves you might learn. That force push seems like it's going to be an awesome move.

Also.. maybe you eventually can't pick people up..but nothing says you can't throw shit at them! :whee:

[Bretters]

Eh, I kinda lost interest in it... probably rent it later on. Would have to rush through it anyways to get to Rock Band 2 and Lego Batman ;)

Couldn't you still take them out using stuff in the environment? Doesn't really sound like a deal breaker to me.

[coolsteel]

Couldn't you still take them out using stuff in the environment? Doesn't really sound like a deal breaker to me.

That was my first thought as well, they want you to not just go through the entire game force grabbing soldiers like you could in the demo. Makes sense as during the demo the soldiers were 100 percent no threat to me at all, an entire game of that probably would be boring.

[DarkNessBear]

Well, I was hoping for the game to be you playing as a unstoppable bad ass Jedi, with force powers that are unleashed. Not some "meh" action game. And what's wrong with being able to totally obliterate everyone you come in contact with? I was hoping the challenge would come when fighting other Jedi's. . . the soldiers would be the equivalent to walking to the Colossus in Shadow of the Colossus.

[JolietJake]

Very meh game to me, i don't care for the button pressing cut scenes either.

I still want to play the game but I completely get what you're saying. But that has always been a problem with star wars games, a lightsaber isn't some glowing metal sword it is a weapon that severs limbs in a hearbeat yet it never gets portrayed like that. Always hope for a sequel .

[prence]

This game was one of my most anticipated for the year. I played the demo and liked it but like a lot of people said previously, I'm not a fan of the 'anti force armor' crap. That kind of sucks..

Also it's not doing so hot on Metacritic either :\

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/starwarstheforceunleashed?q=force%20unleashed

[jp0213]

Yeah, I never go with MetaCritic or any reviews. Too Human was blasted, and while I say it isn't the best game ever, I have highly enjoyed it. I've long since given up on gam reviews because most of it is based on the personal preference of the writer involved.

Metacritic said EGM gave it a 56, GameRankings said EGM gave it a 68.33
Wish they would just leave out alphabet review scores if they have to make up a number like this, or make it a separate category just showing what it got.

One of my favorite games on the dreamcast got a 3 if I remember correctly, yeah reviews don't mean much since your personal taste can be wildly different.

[shibaraski]

I just picked up Star Wars Force Unleashed at this random store called "Game Craze"
It was out on their shelf and asked if its out for sale
and they said "yea we rnt EB or Gamestop, we dont have any obligations to sell it on the release date."

so yea. Ive been playing for 1 hour now. so if you guys have any questions about this game, just let me know

[jer7583]

Is it as bad as the demo? lol

Do you want your $60 back yet?

[Scorch]

lol @ "not having obligations to sell on release day".. LucasArts won't appreciate that and won't send them stuff in the future.. assuming they're getting it direct from them, which I assume they are, since they got it in early.

[jer7583]

Some local mom and pop store doesn't care about lucasarts as much as lucasarts doesn't care about them. Most of those places get their games from a middleman distributor that buys in bulk from the publisher and sells to small stores like that at a markup anyway. They're pretty far from any direct suspicion.

[Mrcapcom]

I just beat it if anyone has any questions ill try to answer them.

I had alot of fun though I beat it in about 7-8 hours great game im going after the 1k achivements and ill probally be done. It kinda reminds me of devil may cry in the sense that even though I beat the game I still wanna play it just for the hot fights and being a bad a$$. Vader stage is sweet too

[Costa]

7-8 hrs only, then I should finish it before a weeks end. so theirs no MP vs mode then, thats the only reason why I would keep it.

[Mrcapcom]

nope no vs mp mode only wii has that I belive. I was on some type of crack this weekend I played the game str8 through and I fairly found alot of stuff. Still more to do though I see myself playing it again on Hard or Hardest for the achivement and get the second ending and getting my full 1k but I will play again just for fun here and there though

[jer7583]

Been watching the story on youtube. I'd say rent it if you're a star wars fan and slog through the gameplay for the story, but anyone who buys this is likely getting ripped off.

[Mrcapcom]

slog through the gameplay wow you don't like this game? Whats your take on it? Have you played it yet?

[The 7th Number]

gamefly just sent this to me today, cant wait to play it.

[Costa]

this is why game journalism is a joke, why no one asked the developers, why they are screwing 360,ps3 owners by not having vs MP, thats why i think game reviewers and so called game journalists are the lowest form of writing. its a simple and point question vs mp should be on all versions enough said glad I get to play the game for free for a week then return back to eb before weeks end to get full credit for something else like fifa09. FU game journalists for weak questions and FU lucas arts for screwing the customers.

[ajh2298]

Do you guys think this is the type of game Gamestop will 15+ used copies of within a month after release like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed?

I have a bad feeling that will be the case. I'm almost tempted to go cancel my pre-order and wait it out for a used one. I'm not sure though.

[Pure Apathy]

It sure sounds like it from what I've read.

Of course I expected to see a boatload of Mercenaries 2, and I just NOW found one. They aren't appearing all that quickly.

[KingofOldSchool]

I don't see how any of you are surprised about the length of the game. I knew the second I found out that it wasn't a KOTOR type game, that it would be beatable in a weekend rental sitting.

[zewone]

I just beat it on Sith Lord (hard).

It took me 9 hours. It's a solid game, frustrating at times though.

[metrognome]

reviews have been pretty harsh so far. The demo seemed fun but I could see the hack n slash frustration elements. I still wanna pick it up though cuz the TRU deal will be nice, especially since I still have my $10 gift card from Madden.

[KongaKing]

Anyone order it from amazon with release day shipping? Did it ship yet? I was charged but not shipped yet, and it's getting late, they usually ship earlier in the day

[Goodeye]

My bro works for gamestop he got off work just now (his store is the one I am going to for a launch event) and he told me they do have special star wars figurines that are very high quality (like the halo 3 todd mcfarlene quality) that come with a special code for the game etc. He told me that you can only get them at launch night and that they are being sold ($10) not given away. I am not sure I believe him as he couldn't even remember what it looked like. (He is not a 360 fan at all) anyways just thought I would give that info out there.

[Wolve11]

The game is pretty short. Certain bosses require a certain strategy to beat otherwise it could be frustrating. Its a linear path game, but if you are into Star Wars this story is a must. The gameplay itself is nice because of the many types of ways to kill people using the force powers and stuff.
Basically this game will have dozens of copies in the used section within a week or two after release due to people finishing the game and not doing anything with it. Now there are two endings but they don't require a whole replay. The hardest difficulty setting has to be unlocked so for all the achievements you'd have to play through it twice. There are also Jedi Holocrons that you can collect that give you different lightsaber colors like red, blue, purple, gold, green and black or they are saber crystals that can give your saber added benefits. That gives it the minimum replay value.

[obijuan71]

Anybody have a the codes to see what you get on the game?

I would like to have them without buying all the figures

[Mrcapcom]

Say what? ^

[Trakan]

Beat the game on normal. Took less than 6 hours. I'd give the game a 6 overall. The demo on XBL is better than this game as a whole.

The frustrating elements far outweigh the positive elements. So much so, that when I beat the game I was completely done with it. I'm fine with never playing it again.

[crunchb3rry]

I don't think multiplayer is mandatory for any game. Frankly, I think some games embarrass themselves by attempting to toss in a last-minute halfassed multiplayer mode. Adding multiplayer more to satisfy a Game Design 101 requirement than anything. If the game won't function well with multiplayer, leave it the fuck out.

[Bezerker]

Holy crap the Star Destroyer thing was a pain. They turned one of the highlights of the game into one of the biggest annoyances.

I really am enjoying the story, despite the "average" (Yes, average, Wombat) reviews.

Double jump. A+A then do the dash thing with LB and if you want even further which is what you need for a holocron later you need to add a B
So: A A LB B for the furthest possible movement.
