    Force on Leash

     Game has potential but it is too short to get player full feel from powers.
     Another installment in ongoing Star Wars series where every character is somehow connected to someone from original saga.
    Force Unleashed is nice experience as a next gen action game. We are the Apprentice big secret of Lord Darth Vader. Our master has some missions for us and we do them. But there is something more to our character that will be revealed during game with 2 different endings (yes we choose side).
    Graphic is quite nice and surrounding changes quite often with different planet completely different look from deathstar to junkyard and fauna flora planet. Thing that is cool is our ability to manipulate the environment. It may not be Bad Company with destruction but still its cool and give us feeling that we are the wielder of force.
    Story is well written but not too many cinematics to tell us about what happening or to show off powers.
    Another thing on bad side is length of the game. 10 hours is the tops for even unskilled player. Only achievement hunters will have to play more beat the game 2 times and find all holocorns(not that easy without guide).

      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...
