Video Game Reviews of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Customer Review: Why Not?
Summary: 4 Stars
For fans of the Star Wars Universe this game is a good experience. The game uses many of the characters from the original films and some of the characters from the prequels but it doesn't abuse the Star Wars License.
The game offers an clever insight into the political events leading up to the original movies and it does it in an exciting and unexpected way.
The game play isn't perfect (sometimes you go to lift an object you should be able to lift and the force is NOT unleashed) but they could have done much worse. The game plays a little like a cross between Battlefront 2 and God of War.
The story is compelling and the game is longer than I expected. It also has optional objectives for every mission so it will keep you busy if you want to unlock everything.
Customer Review: Absolutely Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was not going to even bother with this game from the reviews it was getting. Boy was I wrong! The Force Unleashed lives up to every expectation and more. I love Star Wars and love every part of the story that I don't get to see in a movie. This is a whole new chapter in the Star wars story. So you will love it just for that. But, thats not even the half of it. The game is a 5 out of 5 in every category except for the camera angles. Sometimes the camera doesn't let you see your opponent when facing a boss. Other than that this game is flawless. You know what you can do in this game so I won't repeat that. I bought this game at half price but, I would gladly pay the sticker price for this game. Get this game. You won't be sorry!Customer Review: This game is just pure undadulterated fun

Ok seriously, how often do you find a game where you get to run around picking up storm troopers and throwing them across the room. This game is just plain fun. I've beat it numerous times and still enjoy playing it! Customer Review: Not great
Summary: 3 Stars
It had a story and the cut scenes where beautiful but it it not much more than a repetitive button masher. I was hoping for KOTOR meets Jedi Knight but it did not even come close. If not for the Star Wars name I doubt anyone would have noticed this game. It did add to the story of what happened between Epsiode 3 and 4 but it took several hours of game play to see a story that would have been a very short book. I am an old school LucasArts fan (they made incredible games) and had hoped KOTOR was a revival of sorts but this was not worth $60 to play. Customer Review: Star Wars: Lightsaber on a Leash!
Summary: 4 Stars
Calm down! I do throughly enjoy this game, im a big fan of the original star wars trilogy and I wish i was a jedi. There are not many games out there that truly give you that feeling of actually being a jedi. Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were the games to go to in the past if you were craving some midichlorians. There were all types of mods that would allow you to dismember all those poor misguided stormtroopers. Now that Force Unleashed is out i feel it has taken up the jedi torch for the most part. The graphics are amazing for being a 360 game, even with hardware that is 4 years old it still holds up to PC quality graphics of today. I was particularly impressed with the Raxis Prime garbage planet level, the background is breathtaking. The force powers in this game far surpass anything of the past including Jedi Outcast. Force gripping and pushing enemy troopers off cliffs or just throwing them into other stormtroopers never gets old. The force lightning effects a fan-flippin-tastic! These powers truly give you a sense of raw sith power! The soundtrack has all the classic star wars instrumentals as well as those familiar lightsaber and blaster sound effects, they sound good as usual. Im not too crazy about the storyline really, i feel it started off promising then tapered off as it progressed. I wasn't sure if i'd get to battle Vader or the Emperor as i knew they were going to live regardless. Either way i was sure that a lowly apprentice wouldn't be able to take on either one of the true masters of the sith and make it out in one piece, but of course i was proved wrong......i guess. My biggest gripe about this game is the lightsaber. It just feels too weak, i know from watching the movies that when a jedi or sith slices something with that energy beam someone always seems to lose a limb. In unleashed, everyone seems to be lightsaber resistant so it almost feels like im swinging a lead pipe around. This saber doesn't slice, its a blunt object. Overall this is a wonderful addition the Star Wars game library and you need to check it out.
