Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a highly entertaining romp ( X360 )
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is another title to add to Star Wars' impressive game library. However, when working with such a big franchise name, developers tend to prefer getting their title out quickly instead of making sure it's a quality game. As a result, the Star Wars videogame library ...

Grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory ( X360 )
When I first heard about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed last year, my hopes were high. The pieces seemed to be in place for a Star Wars renaissance of sorts. And while the original story and some of the force powers are entertaining in spurts, the obvious 1990s style gameplay ...

The Force Unleashed: Sausage Review ( X360 )
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 ...

Star Wars- The Force Unleashed... almost... ( PS3 )
After all the hype surrounding this game, it doesn't quite deliver, but sure doesn't disappoint. TFU is truly a remarkable piece of work, putting together Euphoria and other physics engines that make the game truly 'unleashed'. You start the game off with a killer tutorial playing as the masked metal-head ...

Another mediocre Star Wars game, who would've known? ( X360 )
When it comes down to it, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a very average third-person brawler with a decent story. It likes to talk big, impress you with epic set-pieces and grand gestures, but, ultimately, it can never fulfil upon its promises or overcome its fundamental flaws. The story ...

*Insert generic Star Wars quote here* ( X360 )

The Force Moderately Leashed ( X360 )
Star Wars is arguably more entrenched in nerd culture than even video games. However, the seemingly no-brainer marriage of the two has notoriously been met with mixed results. The Force Unleashed is trying to change that by being the first good game from the franchise since Knights of the Old ...
