Yeah OK, so I'm a rabid original series fan.  I have my original Kenner R2D2 which I got when I was 5 on the same day that I saw Star Wars in 1972.  Oh did I mention I'm old too.  I don't look it but I'm 37.  That is old.
 
Anyway, so I finally got around to playing The Force Unleashed : Ultimate Sith Edition.  It's a bad game, not pathetically so, but the designers obviously have love of bad level design and enemies that cheat.  
 
That name looks strange to me too.  SWTFU : USE kinda looks to my wierd, the T F U always make me think that the devs knew their game wasn't that great so they named it with this in mind Star Wars : The Fuck Up while U S E just reminds me that it's another Star Wars thing that I HAD to play to eventually coz it's Star Wars and i'm a hopeless addict.
 
Yeah, I know.  Barely even registers on the funny scale.
 
The game is actually kind of fun in an annoying way.  It's like the took the best bit of being a bad ass Sith (The Force powers) and made them so annoying to use that you feel as if they're hating on you for playing as a Sith Lord instead of the goodly Jedi Knight that you really should be. "That'll learn him!"
 
I'll post more when I've completed it.  Once I get used to playing a game that hates me based on mythos I love.

I agree, the game wasn't that good. But I still got enough out of it to be worth the purchase.

I'm playing it now too, I started it on hard and I'm currently on the Kazdan Paratus fight, damn I spent like an hour trying to beat that guy, it made me anger and I turned off the 360. The game just doesn't feel right, when you are hiting dudes with your light saber, it feels like you are using a baseball bat

I love how this shit is called "The Force UNLEASHED" while you have circa 5 powers. Hell of an unleash.

Despite being a trophy whore, I'd had problems even STARTING to TRY to make a Platinum with this game. This and Sacred 2.

I found this game frustrating as hell but I managed to get all the achievements for the Ultimate Sith Edition, which came with all the DLC. 
 
Have you played the DLC? They're kind of cool, but a little short. One of them has Galen Marek taking the place of Luke during the Tatooine visit (You go to Tatooine looking for droids, meet up with Jabba, go through his place, fight the rancor, you can drop the gate down on him, etc) but with an evil twist. Then there is one where you even get to go to Hoth!

I'm an original trilogy fan myself, although I sometimes find it hard to get into the derivative stuff just because it doesn't seem to expand the universe so much as fall back in on itself.  I'm only a bit younger, Star Wars was my first religion (3 year old converts can be scary), but THEN I felt that the universe was expansive and my imagination filled in the blanks.

The story is fantastic. The music is incredible.
 
But the game itself is inexcusable.

The Force Unleashed is not a bad game. Sure it's not perfect but come on, it's fun and that's really what a game is supposed to be. I've been slowly creating a list of games that are truly bad. I would consider myself extremely lucky to play TFU any day if it meant not playing these:
 

Games that make me question the society we live in

"Twilight Scene it?" was the game that made me start this list. I will continue it from now on whenever I come across a game that is just too pointless and unbelievable. It's gonna be hard to compete with the worthlessness of this first Twilight game though.   :P

	1. Scene It? Twilight Really "Scene it" people? Really? A Twilight version of Scene it? REALLY? That is all.
	2. Hannah Montana: The Movie Really? REALLY?! Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game?! Why don't they just start making a series of stupid Barbie games to appeal to the dumb little girl audience even more? Oh wait...
	3. Barbie ...Yep. Here lies every Barbie game ever made. God help us. :P

I like The Force Unleashed, but it is so damned broken.. I mean, when the second boss of the game is about 300 times harder than the last boss of the game, you know you've got your hands on some baaaaaaaad design. That said, the game was fun and definitely had it's moments :).

I don't think the game is bad, played through it twice when it came out and loved it.

I played the demo and had a lot of fun. Then again i liked that "Jedi Academy" game back on the original xbox just cause you could force choke dudes

I wouldnt say its a bad game, its heaps of fun but far from the best games of the year it came out.
