I liked the demo, though it seemed a bit...Wimpy? Dunno just seemed kind of lack luster with force powers. The targeting was annoying, I force-lightninged some barrel like 15 times before i finally got the thing to point at the AT-ST(at?). Other then that a lot of fun, needs more force drain and choke though. I had to make due with force-grabbing enemies off the side. Throwing them with the force was a bit willy nilly as well.

 

I finished downloading the demo for the 360 yesterday. It plays pretty awesome, but the camera and the control are a bit off IMO. Half of the time you can't get a clue of who's shooting at you, and everything seemed a bit stiff, specially when you're using force-grip. It also annoyed me how hard it was to aim the force-lightning. I laughed my ass off grabbing stormtroopers and seeing how would they react. That was fucking awesome.

Anyway, I enjoyed it greatly and it's better than I expected, so I'll probably get my hands on it in september.

Oh, and the people at Lucasarts need to harden the fuck up. Lightsabers should cut stormtroopers and other enemies in half, not act like "lightsticks".

 

After playing the demo more then I should, I found some cool things about the game.

Combos with the Lightsaber are fun. Slash, Lightning, Lightning is fun.

The environment is awesome. In the hanger, you can take the Tie Fighters and slam them down on enemies!

The doors, if pushed enough, can really get fucked! I've even managed to blow one off it's hinges!

The part where Tie Fighters attack you have these support beams on the side. You can use grip to bend them in the way of the Fighters and they'll fly right into them.

Most corridors have lights which can be blown up. There are also these blue things on the side of walls which can be gripped and blown apart. Gives you a free item to chuck at people.

Damn does that demo have replay value!

 

That, sir, would be awesome. In fact, i think that it's one of the things the game is missing, more so if they wanted us to feel uber-powerful like they said.

Makes me wish for the game to have a cheat like the one in Jedi Outcast. Now that was awesome. "Realisticsabercombat" FTW.

 

They'll probably allow you to augment your various force powers/lightsaber skills. So the lightsaber will probably be a one-hit kill for stormtroopers later on.

In no SW game that I have ever played have they given you powerful force abilities at the beginning of the game. And certainly not at the beginning.

I predict that they'll get a lot more powerful.

 

That's what I'm thinking because one of the tips in the load screens says that you can change the crystal of your lightsaber making it have special qualities and increase it's power. All that along with a change of color.

Also, using grip on people and keeping them there makes them try and shoot you. When they shoot you, they spin! They also scream for help which I find hilarious!

 

Looks awesome, could be better, but I'll probably borrow it if Gamefly doesn't send it and play the hell out of it

 

Pah. I could be happy to play a smuggler or merchant. Gives more chance to roleplay, it gets a bit boring, everyone being Jedi, after awhile.

 

Makers of KOTOR are making a Star Wars MMO, yes?

I imagine that they could possibly be taking their concept of "Different types of Jedi" to solve that problem. Except with more than just 3 types of Jedi, and perhaps with a few alternate classes like smuggler, etc.

It's not KOTOR3, but I'm still looking forwards to it.

 

As long as it isn't anything like what SWG is, now that Sony have fucked it up, and then abandoned it like a pregnant girlfriend.

 

This game sucked. (there is really nothing else to say)

 

Ah you're fucking kidding me. First Spore now this one too?!?@

Gamefly: We've Shipped: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed


My kids are going to be crushed =/

 

It only gets worse from there. The last level of the game the bonus is set to default and there are at least a dozen bugs stopping the game from working. I had to do that level like a dozen times.

As already stated the camera is incredibly difficult to use. It is so difficult that you can barely grasp anything with accuracy.

The graphics aren't that good and the level designs are copy pasted from one section of Jedi Academy.

The boss battles are just regular enemies with more health and random inexplicable immunities to your attacks. None of the enemies' AI are very impressive. The fighting system isn't exactly innovative and gets incredibly boring to use after a while.

The scene where you rip Star Destroyer from the sky was boring as fuck.

 

Actually, I thought it was really fun. The camera can be a little annoying, but otherwise, I haven't had any real difficulty.

And I like the story.

 

In other words, thank you Gamefly that I didn't spent 60 bucks on this then, meh. I should be getting it in a few days, I'll review it then.

 

The game was, at least worth renting. The camera issues and the AI were a huge let down. Along with the ripping of the Star destroyer.

I had some problems with falling off as well. But I was able to skip the cutscene.

The game was decent and the story was good, but in the end it did not live up to its huge hype.
