Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, so I have to agree with the other review here that the game is kind of lacking in that god-like power we kind of figured we'd be able to experience from the intro (I wanted to sink a star destroyer and not from just a cut-scene. Still, you get to knock around some TIE fighters). The Force Unleashed is still a pretty cool game, however.
I'm a big fan of "Jedi Academy", so I was expecting it to play a bit more like that (it really felt like you had more choices in Jedi Academy). This game is VERY linear, and you won't get a chance to just go explore any planet you feel like (I was kind of hoping a guy could get to hang out in the Star Wars universe a little) and it seems EVERY bad guy has a shield up. Even in Jedi Academy you could take down a storm trooper with a little light-saber action. In this game, you kind of have to hack at 'em a bit.
I'm still pretty addicted to this game. The ability to customize so many different force powers is awesome, as is finding different color crystals/hilts for your light saber and costume changes. I beat the game as a sith (didn't really mean to, I guess I headed too close to Darth Vader and the game seemed to think I wanted that ending) with left kind of a massive hole in the plot of any of the Star Wars films. It does let you continue back to the beginning with all of your powers (which is pretty darn cool), but I have to admit I was kind of hoping for something a bit more from this game. It had so much potential!
I guess if I could offer a little advice for the next one, it would be nice to have a few more choices on the fate of the character and if this guy is supposed to be a massively-powerful sith, why is everybody else tougher to kill?
If I could offer any tips to other players, ramping up your lightning skills really helps wipe out hordes of Storm Troopers (and others you encounter)!
