Product Description

The Star Wars saga will continue 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.

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 Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
- The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
- 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.

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Video Game)
The game was alright. It was an excellent story line, I just wish it had been a lot longer, and much more interactive. The game seemed to be just killing enemies from point A to point B and that's all you could do, you couldn't really manipulate the outcome, or choose very many different events to follow. The graphics are phenomenal, but that only makes up part of a great game. My number one dislike of this game, to be certain, is the short length. (I beat it in two days)

My Two Cents...,

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Video Game)
I like to wait for a game to drop in price before I purchase it. Usually, if a game lasts long enough to hit the bargain prices and still remain on store shelves as "platinum" or "best sellers," that means it's good enough not to fade into complete obscurity.As such, The Force Unleashed is a well done game. It is simple enough that you can button mash (as a beginner) and get through a decent amount of the game and have a lot of fun while doing it. Yet there is a subtle complexity to it that allow you to progress beyond button mashing to really understand the dynamics of the game. Perhaps the greatest feature of the game for me is the use of Force powers. It is incredibly easy to begin using these abilities and very gratifying to see how effective they are at wiping out basic enemies. As the game progresses, you unlock new powers and you can strengthen these powers for more devastating attacks as you level up. You can also unlock more combos, increase your health, Force recharge rate, the amount of time you can use Force powers, etc... The only drawback is that the Force powers are out of scale compared to standard Star Wars mythology. Starkiller can do extremely powerful things with the Force while the movies and even the novels portray a much higher cost to accessing the Force enough to accomplish these feats. Overall, a very fun game worth the reduced price.

Not too bad, it is over hyped. Too quick to finish game. Fatalities are like "paint by numbers". Great graphics. Actors did a great job. No free roam. Good story too, like an interactive movie.
