Players will meet and interact with new characters designed for the game as well as familiar faces from the films in fact, you get to play as the Sith Lord Vader during part of the game. Along with its stunning widescreen, high-definition graphics on the Xbox and PlayStation 3, the game excels in how you use your learned Force powers.
Specifically, the developers at LucasArts did an extraordinarily good job in making players feel powerful thanks to superhuman abilities, including the ability to push around huge objects without touching them or damage things by emitting lightning blasts through your fingertips. Players can also combine these rewarding powers for a dramatic effect, such as using a Force grip on someone's neck, lifting them in the air and then zapping them silly before tossing them into a nearby tree.
The Xbox and PS3 versions of the game play exactly the same, but the Nintendo Wii version lets you swing around the wireless and motion-sensing Wii Remote and nunchuk to pull off the lightsaber moves and force effects.
One of the key problems with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , however, is its linearity; players are on a pretty tight leash as they navigate these indoor and outdoor levels and can't veer too far away from your path.
How amazing would it be to have some open-ended levels, such as a Grand Theft Auto sandbox game, where you're left to explore your surroundings. This drawback can also hurt the game's replayability. Other issues are the lack of a multiplayer mode and a PC version of the game, plus the third-person camera can sometimes obscure your view instead of providing a cinematic perspective of the action.
If Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was rated by special effects alone, the sci-fi adventure would garner unanimous praise by video game reviewers.
But as with some criticisms of the iconic feature films, not everyone will find substance underneath the style. But it sure is a fun ride and one that Star Wars fanatics will revel in as they appreciate its gorgeous graphics and impressive physics effects while turning a blind eye to the game's shortcomings.
Visually speaking, the Xbox and PS3 versions are much better in high-definition than the PS2, Wii, and handheld versions of the game. An iPhone version is also available at the Apple App Store. Families can talk about how you can be good or evil in this game. How did you decide which to become? This game is not unlike many of the Star Wars movies: big on production but light on story.
Are we more forgiving of a Star Wars adventure in this regard than other video games based on movie franchises? Or do video games really need depth? Also, what did you think of this game's linear path? Your Store Your Store.

He also did a lot of missions for Vader before the Tie Factory. He is a much better written character compare to Kyle Katarn. Whom just learned being a jedi by himself twice.
So he's cool, because he's over powered OC we all came up with when we were 10 years old, and thought it's a super original idea And then he's so cool, that he motivates the entire rebellion to get of their lazy asses, and start fighting for real. And then his family crest becomes their official symbol, because ofcourse it does. Starkiller is just so coooooooooool. I'm so happy, his character in Legends died with the second game, and nobody cared to do anything with him after it.
He would probably just got even more stupidly strong. The new trashy movies have some really bad case of "overpowered main characters". This seems harmless in comparison. Wow, pal. It seems you wanna read good stories for your likeness
