- Confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader in addition to new adversaries such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians
- Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice’s four core Force powers – Force push, grip, repulse and lightning – throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
- Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible: Secret Apprentice won’t just Force push enemies into walls – he’ll Force push enemies through walls, and will Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground
- Visit locations such as Episode III’s Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility
- Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.

The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his ques… More >>
Overall not a bad game. Been playing it for the past 2 days and it is pretty fun. If you are a Star Wars fan this is a must play.
Rating: 4 / 5
Lucas Arts should have invested their efforts in another Knights of the Old Republic game. Don’t buy this one. Rent it. You will be happy that you saved the money.

I am not a huge gamer but I recently got the PS3 and have to say I do enjoy this game. It is strange to play it as the “bad guy”, but so far I have to say I enjoy the game a lot.

And this time, it’s not even funny.
This game is so linear, you can’t get lost,
you never have to make any decision,
and it’s the worst graphics I have seen in years.
They fill your view with undefinable garbage,
making the environment boring and repetitive,
and the camera never focuses on the right angle.
Before you know it, story’s over.
You do accomplish amazing stuff through the game.
Such as crashing a Star-Destroyer by Force alone :
by playing with the joysticks for about 4 lousy minutes.
Or beating enemies by copying button choregraphy.
Nothing new, it’s just a carbon copy of Revenge of the Sith.
And the Revenge of the Sith’s story was not as predictable as
the one your being choked with in Force Unleashed.
And by all means, changing the color of the lighsaber
or the dress that my character is wearing did not help
me in any way.
The wost thing about this is that Playstation actually
accepted to endorse the game as it is and to promote it
Big Time, releasing this mini-game as a Blockbuster !
Please !
Rent it if you still want to make the rich richer.
But you’ll end up with very poor quality, and less money
in your pocket to spend the next time the damn franchise
dares to disapoint us this way…
You have been warned !

I bought SW TFU for the PS3 on release date and I played it for 2 hours last night. My initial impression was wow as the story evolved. The controls were not bad at all. You just have to learn it and get used to it. The sound was good, though it didn’t feel like it had surround sound or 5.1 support. The graphics were not MGS4 graphics, but they are decent in my opinion. The game play was really awesome! I usually like to play as the good guy and scares me a bit to be such a bad a_ss
Yeah, I’ve killed so much that after a while I didn’t feel bad for them, but I felt vicious for more killing and started to say “Die mo… fu…” LOL, I guess the power of the dark side was really with me last night. I can see how it can get boring and repetitive if you play this game on easy or even medium mode and that is the reason why I’m playing on the hardest mode which is I think Sith master. I really had a blast playing this game and did not feel disappointed at all! Once you are immersed in this game you are not going to care that the graphics are not as good as MGS4 or that the sound is not as amazing as Warhawk. So if you are looking for a great story and fun gameplay this game is for you. But, if you are only looking for stunning graphics and blowing surround sound then you will probably be disappointed. I’m a Star Wars fun and I’m for sure playing this game all the way to the end even if there is no trophy support.
