 Grandkids love it Nov 01, 2009
My Grandkids came to town to visit, The Force Unleashed was one of their request. I was able to purchase at a great price, and have it ready to play when they arrived. Simple and cost effective way to be a great Grandpa

Awesome Freaking Game Sep 07, 2009
I have both the Lego Star Wars and this one I love both. This one is great for the duel mode where you can face off with a friend and just have fun. The game itself is one player only but the graphics are great and it really gets you moving when you are playing. I'm not an excelent gamer so it was difficult enough to make me work at it but not sooo hard I wanted to give up. I recommend this it anyone that likes to spend a night vegging out and playing video games just for fun.

 Rent dont buy Sep 02, 2009
I was really excited about this title. I'm a star wars nerd and what better way to act out childhood fantasies then wielding a plastic control pretending to be a powerful sith.
Unfortunately, this title falls short for several reasons:
1. The graphics are horrible. I have played plenty of games on the wii, some look amazing like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl. Force Unleashed has very bad polygon rendering and at times reminded me of past games on N64! The presentation is just poor; this is not because of the Wii, plenty of games look great on the Wii - this is just a bad port.
2. There are a lot of combos you can learn for fighting with the light saber. However, they require voodoo like memorization to pull off. I can remember button sequences really easily (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a) but trying to remember A, wiimote forward, nunchuck up, Z, Z, wiimote left to right, nunchuck down C - that's more than I bargained for. As a result, I tended to use the force powers instead of melee combat. I think the force powers were way over powered, especially force lighting with force push. The game lost its challenge with using these powers.
3. The game was supposed to tout a highly specialized physics engine and AI decision engine. There were supposed to be all these interactions with the environment and enemies would react to the environment differently each time. What was actually delivered was a couple boxes scattered throughout each room that you can force grab to throw at enemies to instantly kill them. Some wall panels could come off but that was about it. The environment interaction was just not there.
I'm giving this three stars because it is always fun to play as a jedi/sith, even if the rest of the game is lame. Fans of star wars will appreciate the game a little more than indifferent players. Had I not been a fan, I would have given this 2 stars and said to skip it altogether.

Fun gameplay, sup-par story. Aug 20, 2009
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed delivers as far as fun game play. The light saber combat and the force powers actually felt fun to use with the Wiimote - pushing stuff out of the way with a flick of the nunchuck felt like a natural movement. Of course, gameplay can't account for everything - in a game that focuses heavily on story, the quality of the story is important. In this, Force Unleashed felt like it was lacking a great deal. The voice acting was terrible and the story felt like it was written with the same quality as Episode I. Die-hard Star Wars fans have already purchased this games, so I don't need to warn them to brace themselves for the apprentice's painful dialogue. For the rest of you, consider yourselves warned.
