Topic: Star Wars, the Force Unleashed.

I'm impressed so far with the Wii version, if it can hold a steady framerate it will be great visually.

I want to believe those aren't bullshots, I want to believe!

I would spring for any version that lets you play as Palpatine, regardless of graphical inferiority.  He's the only reason I own the prequels on DVD.

Battlefront II features Palpatine as a playable hero for about 6 stages.  He has riduclous power.  He and Dooku can use force lightning, and it is a savage power to let loose in the presense of dense enemy formations.

You also recover health for killing, so he is a fearsome beast indeed.

I loved the Battlefront games.  I almost bought a PSP just to play the newest, until I heard it genuinely wasn't very good.  Force Lightning was vicious, as was the lightsaber throw.

Another interview.

So I have the demo for the Xbox 360 version, and if the Wii version is even half the game, content-wise, and nails the controls, then it'll be an absolute must-have. Force Unleashed is the game that Too Human wishes it was. It's beautiful, and you feel like a complete badass when you play it.

I played the PS3 demo of this.  It was cool tossing stuff at guys with the Jedi powers, but it felt like it could get boring after a while (i.e. it seemed like the Jedi powers were all there was to it).

This worries me a bit too. I mean, using the force to hold a guy in mid-air and then throwing your lightsaber through him is awesome, but by the 15th time you do it it's probably lost some of it's charm. I'm leaning toward buying the game but I want to see a couple reviews that say it stays interesting the whole way through before I do so.

I played the demo on both PS3 and 360, just cause I can, and amazingly both are identical.

I don't like the dudes with the rapid fire cannons.

The AT-ST was dumb. I can force blast giant doors open, crumpling them before me, yet I can't get this thing to fall over no matter how many times I blast it.

Another game with QTE. Yay. At least its not as bad as God of War.

The demo was fun, just frustrating at times. The one thing that could change and would make the game *almost* perfect: have the focus based on where the camera is facing, not where the character is facing. So many freakin times I shot lightening at a barrel when not one second before I had a soldier in my sites.

[BranDonk Kong]

I think you can change the camera to do that, maybe not. Anyway, your powers in the demo aren't what they would be in the actual game, if I read the pre-release info correctly. It's basically like playing Half-Life 2 with the Gravity Gun on steroids, only you're a badass Jedi Knight (or Sith I guess), instead of a factory worker.

Gordon Freeman...factory worker

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

[NWR_insanolord]

The Nintendo Power review says it's repetitive, compares lightsaber combat to the combat in Soul Calibur: Legends, gives it a 7.5. I don't know about this.

[DAaaMan64]

WTF

[Mario]

Nintendo doesn't want people buying third party games so ignore it.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I played the demo and really REALLY enjoyed the game, and the teaser at the end got me even more excited. With that said I do agree with some of the complaints, such as the game seemingly being extremely linear. Also the AT-ST thing was weird, but  I guess they had to make it that way even if it made no sense.

Regardless I think this game does one of the better representations of being a Jedi with powers, and it appears there is a huge variety of things you can do so nothing gets repetitive (Heck I haven't even thrown the lightsaber through a guy yet!).

Though I do have to wonder why you can't be a female dark jedi considering that female jedis are beginning to be introduced into the series.

[ShyGuy]

I think the Wii version is somewhat different, right? The camera angles are at least different.

[BranDonk Kong]

Gordon Freeman...factory worker

Okay, he's a physicist, but in Half-Life 2, at least in the beginning, you feel like you're all a bunch of factory workers.

[Dirk Temporo]

Okay, he's a physicist, but in Half-Life 2, at least in the beginning, you feel like you're all a bunch of factory workers.

He's a THEORETICAL physicist.

Also, after reading how the game ends, I can safely say I won't be purchasing this for any platform.

Who in the heck reads how games end? I would never read how something ends if I'm the least bit interested in it.

I wouldn't, but somebody told me that the ending was a gigantic pile of fail, so I read it. It was way worse than I thought it was going to be.

[DAaaMan64]

The Force turns out to just be fishing line?

[Dirk Temporo]

It's worse than midichlorians. I'll just leave it at that.

[GoldenPhoenix]

It's worse than midichlorians. I'll just leave it at that.

Well I liked that, so it must be a GREAT ending.

[NWR_insanolord]

What's so bad about midichlorians?

[ShyGuy]

They take away mystery.
