The Force Unleashed Best Star Wars game since Dark Forces? - Review @ Gameplayer

Gameplayer, who had previously spoken up against the early review scores of the latest Star Wars game, has gone live with their review. It documents the game in great details and ultimately declares it the best action Star Wars experience since the original Dark Forces.

"Star Wars has never been short of ambition. From the humble beginnings of A New Hope, one directive seems to have been paramount in any product that carries the Star Wars name: "push the envelope". The Force Unleashed is no exception."

KOTOR 1 & 2 on the XBOX. Easily the best SW games. Played the Battlefront games on my XBOX, they were great as well.

I agree , KOTOR I and II on PC, and Jedi Knight too, those was the best Star Wars games for me (imo) :=)

The Knights of the Old Republic games
And X-wing vs. TIE fighter.

I must admit I have very fond memories of Dark Forces - that game was rad!

[Sucks2BU]

there was a pod racing game that was pretty sweet. And what was the Starfighter game early on in the PS2's lifetime called, that was cool too.

Still The Force Unleashed really sounds like my cup of tea!

[SlappingOysters]

That the metacritic score for the X360 version is higher that it is for the PS3 version. Is there actually any difference between the two games or is it merely reviewers being a little harsher?

[Sucks2BU]

I know that the Wii version is totally different. Like the way the wii and X360 versions of the last Pirates of the Caribbean games were different.

But Wii is $hit so who cares anyway

I'm betting Eurogamer will include it in their next comparison.

My favorite SW game is still Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series. This review gives me hope, but I still doubt the game is as fun as Jedi Knight is on my PC.

This game had the best story in a long time.

thats more like it, been playing this game all morning and its amazingly fun, you guys are gonna love the first level

I know I must be getting old when I have to look up a wikipedia article to remind myself what Dark Forces was. Yeah, it was ok, TIE Fighter is still the best Star Wars game. Still waiting for something equivalent to that.

[deepio]

I agree, Tie Fighter was awesome!

[Wraith001]

Yup, Tie Fighter was a great game, wish they'd do a remake for the consoles. Have fond memory's of playing X-Wing online and my extremely expensive ISDN line.

Out of the more recent SW games i really enjoyed SW:Republic Commando and am still waiting for a sequal!!! :/

[Baka-akaB]

Dark forces ? please and the ie fighters/xwing games , kotor and sw racer werent awesome, maybe ?

All games that didnt suffer from a crappy camera

Force Unleashed is the best game i've played in recent times. The $$%WQ@#$ reviewrs on most sites dont even know what it feels like to have grown up with star wars. They would rather play games based on simpsons.
