    Best Star Wars Game I’ve played in a while.

    The last Star Wars game I played was Knight of the Old Republic.  I watched plenty of videos of the Force Unleashed and I thought it looked pretty good.  When I first started the game I thought the controls were pretty bad.  I couldn’t force grab and throw anything the right way.  I did set my intial play through this game on the above normal difficulty.  The story and challenge of the game kept me wanting to play it more. 

    About middle way through the game, I was hooked.  The controls were a minor thing, at this point.  This game shines in the story, graphics, and fun factor.  It really does demonstrate how destrutive the force is and I think that is what it set out to do.  The RPG leveling up elements really made this game more enjoyable.  As you progress, you really feel like you are getting stronger.  Many games don’t give you that kind of satisfaction anymore.

    When I finished the game, I actually wanted to go back through it again and I’m a real picky gamer.  So overall, the Force Unleased is a great game.  It has its flaws, but it is an enjoyable experience.  For Star Wars fans, it is worth playing through for the Story alone.

      The Force Unleashed: Sausage Review 0

      Star Wars: The Force Unleashed partially reminds me of The Godfather: The Game. I know that is a very odd comparison, but in both games you're basically the character who was behind so much without ever being seen in any of the films. While The Godfather beat you over the head with this feeling, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is much more subdued and it benefits greatly from this. While The Force Unleashed has a pretty good story, especially compared to the latest Star Wars films, the rest of th...
