Pros: It has all the Star Wars you've come to love and more but also has all the Star Wars you've already known. Dont get me wrong this is a great thing if you are a fan but leaves little if you arent. The story is a definate value addition to the mythos.
Cons: I was struck by the mission similiarities , the feeling of Ive played this before in Dark Forces I and II . The fighting loses its grandeur due to poor camera angles and your character starts actually diasppearing off screen in the middle of battles.
Summary: I wanted this game for quite a while. I watched all the trailors and interviews, read the magazines and thought WOW. But If I look at this vs the BattleFront ...

Summary: I wanted this game for quite a while. I watched all the trailors and interviews, read the magazines and thought WOW. But If I look at this vs the BattleFront games there seems to be a rushed battle filled with a whole lot of nothing. These battles can get excessively confusing to the point where the character isnt even in the shot or theres actully lag times and jerking of the pixels during the gameplay. The idea of collecting holocrons for artwork bonuses in such quantites - over 200- doesnt really add anything to the game for me.Especially as Ive seen the artwork as Ive played through the levels. I enjoyed it for the story it offered as The Clone Wars Movie had a bit too much of a rehash of the last 2 movies and this is definately an improvement. Star Wars is truly expanded in the story here. It incorporates locations used in the previous Knights of the old Republic Games but it doesnt seem to have the magic those 2 games offered.
Playing Darth Vader was a big plus as I had wanted to play him in many games but this was far too short for me. The PSP beautifully plays the music and the effects but the artwork seems grainy as though someone hadnt mastered the PSP and was just cobbling the PS2 version into it. Sometimes there are things that are confusing like why would a dead Sith be in the Jedi Temple as one of the early bosses .Additionally Im confused as to why we have to keep killing off our own Imperial troops as we sneak into locations. Any other leader would have told the troops to reposition and not explained and in we'd go.I suspect they lacked enough villians and wanted to save on repeat NPCs

Good game, great graphics and game play........ for PSP
by Darkdude265 on September 15, 2008
Pros: It has good graphics, good story line and its a sandbox type of game, it allows you to explore different parts of the level, you can upgrade your weapons and yourself with different costumes. There are however various bosses per level.
Cons: not much to dislike about the game.
Summary: Various bossses in each level make it kind of fustrating, although the ending moves gfor the bosses a re interesting. It has the same concept as god of war, If ...

Summary: Various bossses in each level make it kind of fustrating, although the ending moves gfor the bosses a re interesting. It has the same concept as god of war, If you beat a boss to a certian paont it enters a scene where you press buttons accordingly, the main bosses are ussually jedi whio think you have potential as a jedi or sith who think you are a jedi. Very fast game play and very rewarding.

- Description: The Star Wars saga continues in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created with guidance 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. As its name implies, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the force by taking full advantage of developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time together: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics system, these technology create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly as it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act, and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior and resulting in a different response every single time.
