The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

i got this game preowned, which i think was a great idea. the game is great fun using the wii controls, but like most wii games the graphics were ok. the only time i play this game now is for dueling, as i dont feel upto completing campaign again

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Great fun but a few flaws

A must if you're a star wars fan and makes great use of the wii controls. As many have mentioned, it's far too short, easy and a bit repetitive but at it's current price - 13 quid, worth a buy.

Hopefully the next installment, will make use of the motion plus and involve more strategy!

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good but a bit repetitive

Nice game, finished it in a few sessions. The controls are good, really takes advantage of the wii's motion sensors. The lightsabre was a bit of a let-down: you don't actually control the sabre with the wiimote, swingin the wiimote left will make your character do a preprogrammed swing to the left etc.

Now to the bad stuff: the gameplay was very straight-forward and quite repetitive. Walk throught the levels, kill everyone, every once in a while meet some kind of boss. Sith are not supposed to be terminators, a bit of sneaking around would have made a big difference.

Another problem was the way they deal with the character dying: you just respawn with full health and lose a couple of experience points. So if you kill a boss to 80% and die, you just get to keep going with full health against the last 20%. Not very motivating.

Despite the flaws, it's not a bad game and I would propably buy it again knowing what I now know.
