Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Amazon.com:
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. 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 face s 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 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.

Rating: - Quick
This game was fun but, I finished it very quick. Also, towards the end, it gets a bit redundant.
Rating: - If it were PS3.........
I played this game's demo on the PS3 at gamestop but I don't have one. When I bought this I expected it to be exactly like the PS3 only on the PS2. I was wrong.

The grapics weren't great. the controls were jammed onto the triangle, square, x, and o buttons. Even the health bar was bad.

Here's how to picture this game. The PS3 version except thrown together in hope of satisfying the PS2 owners. Don't Waste Your money on this. I will admit that I got hooked in the middle ... Read More

Rating: - Sucked
The game was short(8 hours to beat), repetitive, and disappointing. I was bored after the first hour. The storyline is the only gem in this game.
Rating: - Awesome Force Powers
This is a fun game to play in that you have these incredible Force Powers.My favorite is that you can pick up objects and then pull or push them in any direction.Once you master it, it's a lot of fun.

The story fits within the star wars timeline.If you defeat Vader and the Emperor, they don't actually die.But, I won't spoil it for you.

You can also put in cheat codes so you can be other characters.That helps the replay value of the game.But doesn't go far enough. ... Read More
