Set before the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, The Force Unleashed casts the player as Darth Vader's secret apprentice tasked with hunting down the last of the Jedi Order.
What's your take on Star Wars the Force Unleashed?
The Force Unleashed looks like a great game, but I don't know if it will be deep enough to spend 60 bucks on. Sure, the physics wil be among the best ever implemented in a video game, but it seems like that's all the game will ever be. An advanced physics engine.
"The third best.Topic^
I think its a really good game. From the videos that I have seen, it looks to be the best Star Wars game yet.

KOTOR >>>> KOTOR 2 >> TFU
The game looks good and it has me interested, but I don't think it's the best Star Wars game.
I think it looks awesome...most people didn't see gears of war as just eye candy although that aspect was touted every time someone talked about it.So I don't see why anyone would say this is just a tech demo when it has a story (Star Wars cannon no less) and everything else you expect from a video game.I think that people that just see this game as a tech demo either hate the story, felt they have been burned before (prequels) or they just pay too much attention to the physics and it is the way they play it that makes it seem that way...like ohh I'm a guy moving stuff with the force instead of I'm a mother flippin sith warrior being trained by Vader killing everything in sight with mah awesome force powas! Unlimited Powa!

I looks great but i have two issues with it:
1.) the character seems to move sluggishly...should move like The Prince
2.) LAG. There's a noticible slowdown in the outside (demo) with all the junk flying around. Inside it seems a bit better.

I'll be buying it on the PSP, if I bother buying it at all (my brother might). The PSP gets exclusive content, and I really don't care about Euphoria. Euphoria might be one of the most overhyped physics engines there are. It was nearly invisible in GTA4, and did nothing close to what the descriptions said it would.
Plus, I don't really like the story too much. I'd have been fine if it was something a little after Return of the Jedi, where Vader's secret apprentice awakens/is jettisoned from the Death Star or something, and then goes around doing god knows what. Adding more junk between the first movies is creating total overcondensation. Way too many elements are being tacked on that need to be spread out from the story- including the upcoming 3d star wars movie. I don't want to know about the story of the apprentice who innevitably fails to do whatever he should (obviously) because everybody knows the good guys win. It just seems boring to me.
I'm getting the game for the 360(of course). The only bad thing is that it comes out a week AFTER my birthday. :(

But the game is pretty awesome, surpassed my expectations at least.
Euphoria just puts the icing on the cake.

The KOTOR series is great.
I thought the demo was fun but it was way too short. The control's were a bit wierd but they seemed easy to get used too. I'll probably get the game becasue I want to kill Darth Vadar.

Yea, that sequence you have to do to kill the Walker is really easy. It's like the ones in God of War only the GoW ones are much harder and longer.
"Not to mention the character, i feel the apprentice will be an awesome anti hero. "Me too. I would like to know how he interacts with major SW characters other than Vader(like Obi-Wan, if he's in the game).
"BlindEffekt said:Well, the novel's been released, so the story is out there, if you want to seek it out. We do know that Leia's in the game, and Starkiller *probably* gets involved in the Rebellion, but I dunno if Obi-Wan's in there.

*NOTE* If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read what I'm about to post
Second part of the game. I also read that he takes on Palpatine. I may be wrong.
"I will have to let you know, I am downloading the demo now."The demo is really fun, which I have hopes that the actual game will be(I think it will).
BlindEffekt, sorry I just deleted your post by mistake...I meant to quote you. Anyway, I don't think there are going to be any drastic differences in force powers in the full game from what we have seen in the demo. There may be one additional power that I've heard of, but that's about it.
What really, that's a shame. I would have considered buying it if there was a little more variety.
But as i seen in the demo, you can level the skills up to an extent right?

I'm thinking Force Storm, but overall, I think, like you said, there will not be any major changes. possibly animations at most, but that's it.
