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.

A good concept, but lacking |
|
This game is decent. The story line and cut scenes are pretty good. After you beat the game, which is not hard to do, you can keep your upgrades and play the story again as a stronger Jedi. However there is no chance in level difficulty whcih makes it boring after completign it twice. |

This game was really fun |
|
My 11 year-old Star Wars the Force Unleashed player recommends this game to other kids who like Star Wars. He says, "It's not that boring, even though it adds some stuff that's not in the movies, like the characters." |

Awesome game! (but I expected more) |
A very fun game In my opinion. but if you look at the next-gen versions you will notice that you hold your lightsaber in the shien style (backwards) so, yeah I was kind of expecting to be able to hold your lightsaber in a new way. but later you unlock a move where you jump, spin in the air and hack at your enemy holding your lightsaber BACKWARDS! also, sometimes in finishers and cutscenes you hold it like that.
but I think that the ragdoll physics are overall very good. the graphics are OKAY compared to Oh, say Spider-man 2 and HORRENDUS compared to gran turismo 4. although many people complain that when in the first level (playing as darth vader) the walking only thing is lame! I disagree it makes perfect sense Darth Vader is just trying to conserve is energy, and besides that he has robotic legs so naturally, would you want to run when you can walk and you have all the time in the world? and about Darth Vader's single jump, well thats partly because you don't need to jump in that level and partly because Darth Vader cannot use force jump A.K.A. double jump(if you notice secret apprentice CAN). I personally LOVE the button mashing sequences along with the finishers. and I think esrb made a mistake not listing "blood" in the content descriptors (for an example, when you kill Maris Brood's bull rancor it's practically covered in blood). overall, this deserves the "Greatest Hits" title. |

Overall pretty good |
|
Overall a pretty good game, with a few caveats. As a huge fan of Battlefronts I & II and the Lego Star Wars games, this game would have been so much more fun with a multiplayer mode. Also, while on the one hand progressing through each level is moderately challenging, the epic battles at the end of each level are not as long as you follow the one-screen instructions to execute certain special moves, which is not very hard at all. Kind of reminds me of the slam dunks in the old Nintendo game 'Double Dribble'. At times it feels like I'm watching a video or someone else playing the game rather than me actually playing it. |

Fun game. |
|
Overall, this game was fun. It is too early to tell if this game will have the lasting power to be entertaining as "Star Wars Battlefront." I have played that game repeatedly over the years long after it was bought. The high point to "Force Unleashed" for me is the graphics. The Force offensive moves are fun to play and watch, but one is locked into a certain progression of scenes. One can't for example play once fight scene over and over. One can't jump from one favorite scene to another one separated by other scenes like one can in "Star Wars Battlefront." However, I did find "Force Unleashed" entertaining. One can't also skip over the explainatory video scenes which are fun to watch in the beginning, but irritating to have to watch again when one is well familiar with the story line. One can upgrade their powers nicely without a lot of difficulty and to play the more complicated moves, one does not have complicated button combinations. However, one can not increase the difficulty to make the game interesting as one's skills improve. Overall, I liked the game and am still playing it even though I bought it when it first came out. |
