Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Nintendo Wii

Star Wars the Force Unleashed is great game all around; everyone who is old enough to get this game should get this game. Not only is the game play great but it also has a great story. The real question is not if you should buy this game but, rather, what system you should buy it for. As a little warning, I would like to say that the game is quite violent and is rated “T” for teen, but it isn’t much worse that what can be found in the 3rd Star Wars movie. Your options: Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. I don’t recommend buying it for the PS2 because the graphics are terrible and it fails in comparison to any of the others (I won’t go into PSP or Nintendo DS because they are handheld games). If you’re looking for a game with graphics so good that it looks like a movie, buy either the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions. Both versions have magnificently polished graphics and have the same great game play controls. Although both versions are great, I believe the PS3 version to be superior to the Xbox 360 one. If you don’t have a PS3 and only have a 360 then you will be plenty happy with the 360 game. The Wii version belongs in a category of its own. The graphics aren’t as good but that is just a trade-off for the awesome control scheme. You basically control your force powers with the Nunchuk and your lightsabre with the Wii remote. Sadly, you do not control the exact movement of the lightsabre with the Wii remote but the motion system overall is still incredibly innovative. So, my suggestion: buy this game. Just pick the system that works out best for you. The only thing to remember is that the game is not for young kids. In closing, I highly recommend this game and also, sorry for the super long review.

Look, every gaming console on the market today is going to have it's plusses and minuses. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was a fun game, but I do acknowledge that it could be better. It seems like in some cases, that you can't get the best of all worlds. That is, you can't have your amazing graphics and interactive play too. What the Wii version of this game lacks in graphics power, it makes up for with its control scheme. To perform many of the techniques, you need to do more than just press buttons. It will occasionally involve turning the Wiimote and/or the nunchuk in a certain fashion, in conjuction with a certain button combo. In any case, the very fact that you need to swing the Wiimote to weild your lightsaber is tempting enough. I would have liked the game to be a bit longer, but its has a great story nonetheless. Bottom line: if you like Star Wars in any way, shape, or form, this is certainly a game worth picking up. Good, could be better, but I do recommend it.

Over all its a good game. I wouldn't say its my favorite game made by the Lucas arts company. it has a detailed stroy line. its a fairly easy game. only part I found to be difficult was the last level. graphics aren't anything special. I mean it is for the wii. one thing I found annoying is that you can't pick up guns. but the way they designed this game they would be obsolete. its a very controlled game. you can't really change the way you played it the first time. I think its worth getting but not the best game I have ever gotten. Best game I have gotten for the wii so far though.

One of the best games ever for the Wii. Probably the most intense game. This thing will push your system to limit. The levels are expansive and impressive. The biggest thing I don't like, is probably the bosses. When you master the force (e.g. doing force push and lightning at the same time) you will absolutely massacre them. I do absolutely love running around blasting the --- out of the enemies. The Rancors are probably the hardest enemies in game. At one point you have to face two at ounce! Well back to the game. You can't pick up and play, you'll find yourself swept in it and will end up playing for hours. Tip, enter the cheat code Grand Moff, and you'll be able to play as Obi Wan or even a Stormtrooper.

What a horrible story line, but that is to be expected from Lucas Arts nowadays. i haven't yet beaten the game but will shortly. So far the "twists" to this game are foreseeable and the love story between the apprentice and juno is pretty lame. darth vader is too soft in this game, he shows emotion too much. and where did all these other jedi come from!? despite all that, the game is a lot of fun if you're just into wielding a lightsaber and using force powers, which is by far the best in any SW game i've played. the wii controls make everything seem more life like. plus with a certain cheat code you can unlock all costumes and play as other characters such as darth maul, luke, han, mara jade and others.

I rented this game when it first came out and i'm glad I did before I bought it. My biggest issue is that it it too short. I beat it in a few days with just some casual time playing it. I do like the game play and the force abilities. However, the boss fights are a little anticlimactic. But it is a definite add to your building Star Wars collection. Now that it's down to $19.99, I'll go buy it.

When the Nintendo Wii came out I though to myself: the Wii remote would make the perfect lightsaber controller. Well, it is not perfect, but it gets you close to it. However, the controls for this game requires too much waggling: wiggle the nunchuck and you control force powers; wiggle the remote and you control your lightsaber. During boss fights the game asks you to wiggle either. That said, I suppose the controls feel more natural than, say, pushing buttons on a classic controller. Boss fights can be a pain and repetitive - if you don't follow on screen wiggles precisely. Nonetheless, the game itself is fun and engaging. Worth the $20 price.

Pretty cool game. Didn't play it on other platforms, but as usual the Wii offers a little interactive gameplay. Mostly, this game is good for the fan of Star Wars who likes things that flesh out the story more. Duel mode is pretty cool, but never took the time to play it online.
