"First of all, there is a slight problem with the targeting system: There IS no targeting system.
You target what you happen to be looking at, so when there are multiple objects in front of you, like, say, all the time, you'd better accept the fact that no matter how dead-on you are, you'll still wind up targeting an innocent droid that happens to roll by like a special needs child on a wagon at the wrong moment. The good news, though, is that you can still use it to brick a Stormtrooper'..."
"I was eight when Star Wars hit the cinema screens back in 1977. And if truth be told, the whole spectacle of its release passed me by, until that is it appeared on terrestrial TV some years later and my Dad taped it on his spankingly new VHS recorder. I then became rather hooked on the SCI-FI opera that it was."
"Loopholes are present in the plot, which feels a little patched, and characters seem unfitting to the Star Wars universe. However, the game eventually plays out wonderfully and it all leads up to the epic ending that will satisfy the hearts of even those who have had just a nodding acquaintance with the series."
"Being such a well publicised title and carrying the Star Wars heading, there was little doubt that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would perform well at retail. That it shot straight to the top of the UK multi-format charts was also of little shock, along with the reported sales in excess of 1.5 million units within the first week of release. However, a lot of weight still rests of LucasArts latest foray into Star Wars videogame crossovers; having been touted as the missing link between the tw..."
The Examiner reviews Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Nintendo Wii. While it gets high marks for creating an interactive force experience on the Wii, the game gets a low grade for being more of a movie than a game. The final grade rates it as a good rental but not a good purchase.
Star Wars : The Force Unleashed.
A game that on the Wii has a Universe of possibilities open to it. Motion control + game with Lightsabers has to fun... right?
If only it could live up to all of the expectation!
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Nintendo DS has recently been reviewed by N-Europe.
Sadly, it only received a 6/10. They suggest how the game is too repetitive on the console and how controlled gameplay is. They did like the vast array of battle options presented though.
"The aforementioned actors as well as the rest of the cast all put it incredible performances and I can't think of anyone who came off as 'wooden' or unbelievable. The rendering of the cutscenes is equally incredible and makes me wish LucasFilm would have focused on turning this into a CGI film instead of the Clone Wars. And guess what? There is not a single fart joke in this entire beast, imagine that!"
After seeing previews of the game in action and playing the demo, Ars can't believe what happened to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The retail version is really messed up, there are glitches and bugs everywhere.
While there are tons of problems with the game, they note that it doesn't even feel finished. The camera can get in your way and there is even a bug in the final boss battle!
One can only guess what happened to The Force Unleashed.
"It's quite sad that the last action game that made us feel like a Force-wielding super being was Midway's Psi-ops - and that's getting on a bit these days. With a huge amount of technical wizardry and a healthy "for the good of the game" delay we had high hopes for LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Would this finally be the action game Star Wars fans have been waiting for or yet another game to feel the dark side of our reviewing stick?
The Force Unleashed takes place between Epis..."
