An OK Star Wars Game
I cannot say that I am a Star Wars fanatic. I enjoy the movies, sure, and I’ve played several different Star Wars videogames, so I came into “The Force Unleashed” with an expectation of liking the gameplay and not caring much about the story itself. Little did I know how much my opinion would change after playing it. The story of “The Force Unleashed” is phenomenal. The twists were unexpected and this game really shed a new light on the Star Wars series as a whole. The gameplay, however, was a little lackluster. After the first twenty minutes of saying “Wow I can’t believe I can do that!” the novelty wears off quickly. By the third level I was quickly growing bored of the same 2 lightsaber combos that were the only way to defeat the difficult enemies you encounter. I had originally hoped to play through the game again, but with the uninteresting combat, I quickly grew bored of the game even before I had finished it once. The bottom line is, if you’re a star wars fan, you’ll love this game. If you like adventure games, I’d suggest you rent this rather than purchase, since, chances are you’ll grow bored of the gameplay by the end of the game.
