The Force Unleashed
Any one play this yet? I have it for the Wii and on the last battle now, after about 7h playing..
pros:
- Badass Sith for most of the game
- first mission you get to play the dark lord Vader himself
- lots of special effects
- throwing people around and swinging your lightsaber with the Wiimote is hella-cool
- beat the crap out of Vader, The Emperor, and many others
- customize your lightsaber and choose from a couple of different costumes
- great atmosphere, lots of characters from the movies (not like Shadow of the Empire, only thing good about that was the battle of Hoth)
cons:
- short
- hack'n'slay, every level is the same with different looks.. run around killing stuff, boss, run around killing stuff, boss etc.. always following the green dot on the radar
- the Bull Rancor battle (bout middle of the game) is longer, annoying, and harder than beating the Emperor or Vader (end bosses)
Annoying Fact:
Darth Vader gets the crap kicked out of him by Kenobi (Episode III) and Starkiller (The Force Unleashed) to the point where he is a wreck, lying there begging for mercy.. no wonder he's so pissed off and rude to his subjects in Episodes IV to VI: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=5blbv4WFriM

Re: The Force Unleashed
Yeah I think a really decent online Star Wars FPS with force powers would be cool.
Re: The Force Unleashed
I read about two months ago that it was confirmed not for pc, so i lost interest.

Re: The Force Unleashed
I've been hunting around for jedi academy on pc for a while, loved that game.
Re: The Force Unleashed
I played its predecessor, Jedi Knight 2. Was pretty much the first FPS I played (Baring playing on consoles round mates houses), and was pretty good, especially once you got into arena mode and got to customise your force abilities

Re: The Force Unleashed
Played this on the 360, well all I can say is WOW
I heard that the Wii version was going to be different (no duh), but how does it use the Wiinote differently other than someone would just use a regular controller other than the lightsaber thingy

Re: The Force Unleashed
the whole force thingy, for example to grad someone you press Z, but then to choke him you turn the Nunchuck upside down and raise it a bit...
- or the Force Push is lashing out with the Nunchuck
- jumping and then swinging the Mote downwards makes him do that falling saber attack
- Press a button and swing the Mote to throw your saber
- etc.
