    Worthy of the Star Wars name, but with a few complaints

    First of all, this game is great. Not a masterpiece by any means, but great. The story is definitely very good, but a bit short. The production values are outstanding. Great graphics all around. Physics engine is great. Character models are detailed. Nice environments, especially outdoors. Disappearing bodies sucks though. The sound is very Star Wars, and well placed. The gameplay is also very strong. Great use of the force. There are lots of powers you can use. The lightsaber is not as bad as people say. It's very fun to wack people lol. The game is a bit on the short side, and won't have you coming back. There are a couple unlockables, but nothing noteworthy. Overall, I highly recommend to die hard Star Wars fans. Is it worth it though? I say yes. The experience lasts long enough to warrant a $60 purchase.

      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...
