| Pros
- Good story and voice acting - The visuals are magnificent- I found my self looking outside of Cloud City rather than killing stormtroopers at one point - When you fight a jedi boss the game switches to a wide-angle pulled-back cinematic camera reminiscent of the duel between Dokku, Obiwan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. This is one of the best ways I've seen of taking advantage of the HD screen format and resolution. When you Force push your enemy across the room it really does remind you a lot of the movies. - Sound track is good- some new themes and old themes are enhanced. - Even though NPCs appear to have the ability to block your force powers or lightsaber blows, each one of them has a particular weakness you can exploit - so it's not really a problem Cons - Locking on to objects is sometimes clumsy- PsiOps did it much better - A few bugs here and there - As compared to say Jedi Outcast / Academy it doesn't have as rich a Force upgrade mechanism- mainly because the story doesn't really lend itself to it - Camera needs to be manually adjusted frequently - Too short - There are some frustrating jumping puzzles - especially with a problematic camera Considering I've been waiting since Jedi Academy for another Star Wars game, and the fact that the average budget for a video game is over $40 Million, spending $60 on a decent Star Wars game seems like a bargain to me. I have no complaints. Comparison to the Wii version: - Wii version uses canned Star Wars musical score. Reminds you of playing the old Jedi Power Battles game. - Wii controls are quite well thought out and does make Force wielding fun. - But over time the Wii interaction does tend to get fatiguing. - The visuals between the Wii and PS3 are night and day- including the cutscenes which are rendered using the in-game engine. The Wii's visuals just look really dated/primitive compared to the PS3's. E.g. on the first mission on Kassyk, if you look at what's happening in the background on the PS3, there are stormtroopers on a beach-head in the distance slowly advancing, and shooting and then dying. It's gratuitous but it's beautifully done. None of this made it to the Wii. Of course this is understandable since the Wii is a less capable system. - Wii provides additional game levels not provided in the PS3 game. - The Duel Mode on the Wii can only be played with another player, rather than with an AI- too bad. If you own both the PS3 and Wii, I recommend buying the PS3 version and maybe the Wii version when it goes on sale. TFU is visually the most stunning Star Wars title to-date and missing the opportunity to experience it's full visual splendor would be a shame. |
| Just the action game that the Star Wars franchise needed |

| It took me no time at all to become a fan of The Force Unleashed. The game starts you as Darth Vader himself, fighting your way through the Wookie planet to eliminate a rogue Jedi in hiding that the empire has discovered. Vader lets you experience what some of your force abilities will be throughout the game as you later play his apprentice. And while is was very entertaining, I found something a little disturbing about killing dozens of wookies. They howl at you as they die and everything...
Soon you are playing Vader's apprentice, trained by Vader himself in the Sith arts. Your abilities are much more limited from what Vader himself had; I'm guessing to leave Vader as a benchmark to what you can aspire to become. Still, TFU doesn't waste any time and throws you right into the action. The force abilities you are given are incredibly fun to use against your enemies: foring pushing them into walls, picking them up and chukcing them like dolls, picking them up and chucking them like dolls into TIE Fighters, lightning, force repulse and the good old fashioned hack and slash with your lgihtsaber. You think that killing dozens of rebel and storm troopers alike might get old, but it really doesn't. The more of them you kill, the more force points and combo points you build up and you get all new ways to eliminate them. And even though you seem to be an unsoppable killing machine, the game is still challenging in spots, and I'm only playing it on the medium difficulty. Battling other force users is one point where the game can get challenging and also more fun. Matching wits and strengths jedi to jedi is a very fun gaming experience. Upgrades also add a nice element to the game, collecting points for new force combos, upgrading your abilities and upgrading your character's stats. This adds an extra addictive element to the game in a mild RPG fashion. And then there's are the visuals. They are amazing. The character designs, the lighting, the action; they are all flawless. The backround settings and environments are also gorgeious and have an almost painted look, like a mural. This might sound out of place but it actually looks really amazing. You might see what I mean when you first arrive on the junk planet. My only complaint here is that some of the close up textures look a little bland, mostly on the fungal world that I've noticed. Audio is great too. Much of the score is old John William's classic, so there's no complaint there. A lot of the affects seem to be taken right from the movies, which is also fine. Sound affects for explosions and force sounds seem about as good as I could expect. And I especially like how the troopers plead for their lives as you pick them up with the force and wave them around. The story itself is also very well done. It bridges some of the gap between episodes 3 and 4 and actually explains some of the continuity. It also manages to do this without recycling old Star Wars stories and themes which is nice. So I enjoy this game a lot. One complaint I've read in reviews that I only partially agree with is slightly clumsy controls. There is some room for improvement there (when using force grip, throwing an object and getting it where you want it to go can be difficult.) But every game for me has something about the controls or gameplay that I don't like, and I usually look past it. Another complaint of mine is lack of multiplayer. This could be an awesome game multiplayer. To reiterate: Pros: Mostly great graphics, fun and addictive gameplay, awesome force abilities, good story Cons: Some clumsy controls, graphics could use work in some areas, no multiplayer The Force Unleashed is a great game for the Star Wars fan or otherwise and I recommend it. |
| The New Star Wars Movie is an Awesome PSP Game! |
| Review Date: September 18, 2008 |

| A great epic adventure more on par with movies IV though VI. A God of War inspired Star Wars expansion to the movie franchise, That is every bit as good a game as GoW:Chains of Olympus, and while this may not be the system seller GoW was, because of multiplatform availablity, it is a definite must own for anyone who games with the psp. This version of TFU rivals that of the more powerful consols with regards to fun and in many ways it surpasses those versions, throw in a slew of PSP exclusive game modes and this may just be the one to own.
If you outright do not like Sci-fi or Star Wars specifically, you'd probably still enjoy this well put together, beautiful nonstop action adventure title, sure some of the appeal of being a lightsaber wielding jedi knight/sith and how eloquently this ties the two trilogies together may be lost if you're not a fan but it's still a intense action/adventure with great gameplay. You do not have to be a rabid Star Wars fan to think this game is great fun, for example I enjoy the movies but I do not own a single one. I have played some of the xbox360 version and it is visually superior in every way but for pure gameplay adrenaline I prefer this version. The cut scenes have suffered some due to the limitations of the technology but a fully functional and complete version of the story is here, just not with the lavishly detailed movie quality of the ps3 and xbox360 versions. The level designs for this version are unique, while the settings are the same as it's big brothers what is found here isn't a shortened experience but a completely individual take on the environments. Another additional psp exclusive is the Jedi Temple levels. (some of these exclusives may appear in the other versions of the game created by Krome Studio for the wii and ps2 but it's my understanding most of them do not.) This is an excellent package and a great game, nearly everything that's in the other versions is here plus more, 10 different hilts, 16 color crystals, and 7 power crystals for your lightsaber, 10 different outfits a total of 280 hidden extras scattered throughout the main game to discover only adds to the replayablity of a game already possessing a higher replayablity than most games in the genre. There is also the ability to increase your force powers 4x each throughout the game making you much more powerful and deadly, and with 20 powers including throwing your lightsaber like a boomerang and shooting lightning from your fingers you'll feel like a total bada$$ whether you're choosing to use the force to crush the throat of stormtroopers or toss a Wookie off a cliff. There are three bonus single player modes on the psp version including Historic missions where you get to play 2 famous scenes from Return of the Jedi and 2 from Revenge of the Sith. Another psp exclusive bonus feature is getting to play the Order 66 event that prequels The Force Unleashed. The third extra can be played single or multi and it's a battle mode called Force Out where you can choose form a multitude of Unlockable Jedi and Sith characters from both trilogies and TFU. There are also numerous unlockable arenas and other specials available. In addition to the force out battle mode there are two other multiplayer modes I haven't had a chance to play as of writing this. An amazing campaign and a ton of bonus features should make this superbly made game a candidate for psp game of the year. Graphics: A (cut scenes B) Sound: A+ Control: B (I only experienced significant camera difficulties during 1 boss battle in one of the bonus History Missions, not part of the main game.) Fun and Enjoyment: A Overall: A- |
| Best Game Yet for the DS |
| Review Date: September 28, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Travis Wooten, West Virginia, USA |
| Too many people are comparing the DS version to the Xbox 360 or PS3 version. You can't do that and be unbiased. There is no way the game can be rendered or played the same way on the DS as it is on the stationary console systems. I own it for both DS and 360 and it's a great game for both. But I think as far as DS games goes it really shines. Beautifully rendered graphics for the DS, excellent sound, and a wonderful storyline. If you're a DS buff like myself and enjoy portable games more than console games this is a must own for your favorite pocket pal. |

| All I can say is that reviewer from 1UP is completely off his rocker to give this game such low marks. I jumped from the Nintendo DS to the PSP because of this game. IT ROCKS!
Yes its not going to be as good as the XBOX 360 or PS3 version BUT it is 100 times better than the DS version. Not to say the DS version was bad either, but when I compared the graphics on the DS version (which I originally owned) I decided to go out and by a PSP and get this game. The controls were fun on the DS, and the 3D rendering was good compared to some other DS games but still it looked pretty bland overall but when you see that the PSP graphics rival the graphics on the PS2 I had no choice and make the jump and I"m glad I did. I have played the story game over 4 times. I have no problem with cutscenes. I thought they were great actually. Once again its not XBOX 360 but it is worlds better than what the DS had for their cut scenes. Plus the PSP had an exclusive DUEL mode and Historic missions mode where you could play Luke Skywalker, Count Doku, Mace Windu, Darth Vader, and the Emperor. You don't have that on the XBOX 360 versions. I'm sure I love this game more than others because I'm a Star Wars fans, but I can't stand it when these elitist frauds called video game critics trash a good game just because they claim camera issues or lack of originality or some other BS. I had no problems with the camera nor did I get bored of using the force powers or the lightsaber. Bottom line. If you love Star Wars, love a good adventure game, and own a PSP its a no brainer. |
