Star Wars The Force Unleashed delves into the relatively unexplained era of the star wars saga. The storyline revolves around a secret apprentice of Darth Vader’s, who he uses to hunt down and kill remaining Jedi that have survived the clone wars. It builds on the time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
The game begins with you initially hunting down and eventually killing three Jedi’s, before being ‘killed’ by Darth Vader, only to be bought back to life. After this stage you begin your secret mission again with Darth Vader to overthrow the Emperor (The first three missions are to prove as a test to Darth Vader that together you can overthrow the Emperor, after which you are left for dead to hide the fact you are really alive and trying to kill the Emperor).
Graphically the game is excellent, and the 7 or 8 minute out cuts are very true to life, they almost look like a movie in their own right. The also help to explain the game and developments between the two films. The style of the game makes it good value for money, as you will need to go back or spend time looking for ‘spheres’ to help boost your power, and to change for fighting styles with the new powers you earn. You can also change smaller things that make the game better to play like the character or costumes and colour of the lightsaber you wield.
If there is one issue with the game it is that there are no multiplayer functions, so only the single player missions can be played. Having said this the game is very good for the different styles of fighting and customisation you can add to it to make the game more personal to how you want to play it.
Overall, I would probably not recommend buying the game, but instead borrowing it or renting it as once you have completed the game, it takes roughly 6-10 hours of game play, it is over, then you are left with little to do but sell it on or continue trying to find any remaining ‘spheres’ or just having fun killing enemies. So in all rather than buying the game new or pre-owned, then only having a few days in which to complete it and then have nothing else to do seems to be a waste of money to me, and the fact that it has no online play does not help to extend the
