GV reports:
''Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is this generation's first real foray into a galaxy far, far away, and Lucasarts has assured us that the events of the game take place in Star Wars' canon, acting as the next chapter in the ever-expanding universe. Wizards of the Coast is releasing a Force Unleashed miniatures game and RPG Campaign guide, and LucasArts has commissioned books, comics, action figures and other collectibles based on the missing sixteen-year period before Luke's Jedi awakening, so to say that there are plenty of eggs in its basket might be an understatement. Early reports were very optimistic, but as its release grew closer a dark side was apparent, and there were rumblings of anger and, indeed, fear.
There are many things that The Force Unleashed does right. The game gives a definite sense of being a Jedi or, in Starkiller's case, a Sith. Throwing large rocks at Stormtroopers and watching them writhe as lighting pulses through their armor is rewarding and as realistic a feeling as a Star Wars game can provide. The issues with the game, however, aren't in its concept, nor are there any real problems with the core game. It's other, smaller issues that result in larger problems. The Force Unleashed's controls might be where the game suffers the most, and this is compounded by the ruthless difficulty. Never before in a Star Wars game has the player had this much control of the world, and even when compared to the stellar Jedi Outcast series, Force Unleashed does an amazing job at giving the player tons of gameplay options.''

force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.
Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Coming soon on the UE4 Engine, preorder to guarantee access to the Force Stutter ability available exclusively on PC before it gets removed after the launch window.
I am not a Star Wars fan but I enjoyed the Force Unleashed and the sequel. Shadows of the Empire was another Star Wars game I also enjoyed.
I had Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I used to finish that game basically weekly. LOVED that game.
Would give it a 7.5/10.
Oh yeah and... FIRST!! That's never happened before.
