The Force Unleashed

Post by MountieXXL » Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:46 pm

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

Yeah I think a really decent online Star Wars FPS with force powers would be cool.

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

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

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.
