The Escapist Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

The Escapist writes: Just how hard is it to make a good Star Wars game? Pretty damn difficult, based on the general track record. The best such games, like Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight II, and Empire at War, have all been developed by outside studios; meanwhile, just about every title developed internally at LucasArts (in the past decade, at least) has been pretty rotten. I was really hoping that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be the game to buck both trends, as it had been pushed back a few times and seemed like a really promising title based on the demo released last month. I am sad to report, though, that The Force Unleashed is a stellar disappointment, and it breaks my heart to say so
