Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Light saber fights have never been so epic... :O

One of my mate's been intro-ing and reminding me to buy Force Unleashed for the PS2 upon returning home for the long holidays. And so I did. And I was :O at much of the game's unleashed aspects which are being unleashed. Here's the teaser to give you some insight on what Force Unleashed have to offer:

So you play as Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader in what seemed to be an effort to help Vader to kill the old bag Sith Lord aka the Emperor. Vader trains Starkiller kill and destroy stuff in order to prepare him to defeat the Emperor, teaching him many things about the Force that the Jedis won't teach. These includes the Repulse, the dual hand electrocuting Sith Scorch, bringing down the Empire's big ass cruiser and my favourite the black-hole-ish Maelstorm, basically no limitation in the name of unleashing the Force (well, until your blue bar runs out anyways then you can't do anything, but the bar recharges fast).

Apart from the fancy Force powers I noticed that the game is reminiscence of another action packed and fancy-powered game; God of War. FU did not appear to look like any other game until I reach the boss fights. To finish a boss you'll need to press the buttons shown on screen to execute the finishing blow, much like GoW. And as I mow through a room full of Stormtroopers with my Force lightning, I remembered using the same tactic in GoW using Cronos' Rage which is an electrifying AoE as well.

But putting those aside, FU still has its own unique appeal. The environment is now fully interactable AND destructible. After destroying much of a control room you can use your Force to pick up the rubbles, computers or whatever and throw it towards the injured Darth Vader (ooops spoiler :P). And the one-on-one lightsaber fights with the bosses is epic; from the way you go into a lightsaber deadlock to how the bosses counter Force the damaged power generator you just threw at him. The physics' realism makes everything complete. But sadly I finished the whole thing in 5 hours 44 minutes (and got the bad ending siot), and the game feels shorter because you will re-visit the same places in the game (e.g. Playing in the Jedi Temple 3 times on 3 separate occasions, with indistinguishable layouts each time). Nonetheless I give the game an 6.5 out of 10 and recommend it to other fellow gamers out there, both fan and non-fan of Star Wars. Unleash my Force >:D

Shocking isn't it?! Bwuahahaha bzzz!!**&!! bzzz??!!@%^ bzzzzttt!!!!

The graphics for the next generation console is just WOW! I'll stick to PS2 for now until I get enough cash for the next-gens

With the Force Unleashed fever still fresh, now everyone wants to unleash their Force...
