Star Wars: The Force Leashed!
I'm sorry about the lack of posts last week. I was on a break, but I will try to get back into the schedule again. This post will be quick because there isn't much to say about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed beside the disappointment.
At the first announcement of the game, I was greatly excited and started to anticipate the game greatly. With each new tech demo, I was awed further. But what goes up must come down. The game with all the potential, immense force powers and cool universe, becomes a big disappointment. While, I dislike bashing a developer who spends hours upon hours constructing the game to it's perfection, this game cannot be viewed highly. First, I was disappointed to learn of the lack of on line play or any multilayer for that matter, limiting replay ability. 1 Second, while playing the demo, I learned about the annoyance of the controls. Such as it is hard to choose which object you want to force grab. Also, I felt the hardest part of the game wasn't the AI but the fact that I kept falling off the ledge in the game.
But, it isn't all bad. The story is viewed as "moving" and "intense" by Gamespot. 2 Some people believe that this story should have been the new Star Wars film instead of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Some speculation points to The Forced Unleashed as the next Star Wars film in the series. 3 In the story you take the role of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller during the story arc between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Starkiller's duty is to hunt and rid of the remaining Jedi after Emperor Palpatine orders to kill them. 4
Overall the game is seen as disappoint, the gamers still hope for a KOTOR 3. Until then we may not get a deserving Star Wars game. I advise a rent for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed or at least wait until the price drops significantly.
