The Force isn't with 'Unleashed'

Pete Metzger writes:

"Lame characters (such as the stereotypical sexy female copilot and jive-talking robot sidekick) and even lamer cutscreens aside, Unleashed isn't a miserable game. It's great fun to use the telekinesis of the Force to create a big mess. It's just disappointing that this couldn't be the one product that finally sets the "Star Wars" universe right."

May the flop be with you.

How about that one?

I'm with you on that, how is that a flop.

I'm sorry, but I guess I didn't get the memo about flop/terrible game status. When did an 80/100 signify a flop/terrible game. I just don't get it. I see all these comments on The Force Unleashed topics about how this game is a flop and it sucks. Yet everywhere I look the reviews are giving it about 80/100, 4/5, and B/A+.

I'm betting that this game reviewer is also another one that can't use the game right. It's not also hack and slash, you actually have to be smart about it and use the proper force moves.

To be fair, you can get through the entire game using like two or three combos (if that).

I don't even think the reviewer played the game. In fact, aside from the cursory mention of the use of force powers, this "review" is nothing more than a poor examination of the technology used to power the game.

As far as his "analysis:"

Jive-talking robot? Uhh...Proxy (the name of the robot) is anything BUT jive-talking. In fact, he probably has 20 min total talking/face time the ENTIRE game and it is very direct, bordering on Hk psychotic.

And sidekick...try "taking a backseat except to deliver information"-kick. If anyone is the side-kick it's the good General. You'll know who I'm talking about if you played the game.

The same could be said for Juno (the sexy copilot). Although she fills the female role typical in Star Wars, she is more a less a bit player. Less Princess Leia and more Wedge in that, she probably has an interesting story but all she does is fly Starkiller from place to place.

With that said, I like the game. It's not the best game ever but it's solid. Besides, there is nothing greater than tossing around and toasting Jawas and little pig midgets from Cloud City. Also, on the Wookie level, it's great to finally have an answer to the great jar-Jar mystery.

what a stupid reviewer, who in their right mind disses a game so much yet gives it a B? this punk was probably playing star trek

[lawman1108]
