LucasArts producer Cameron Suey has claimed that over-excitement with the licence and lack of ambition are to blame for previous lacklustre internal Star Wars titles - but insists the studio has delivered with The Force Unleashed.

It's hard to say they delivered with The Force Unleashed, when it's pretty much "Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" combined with an advanced physics engine.

Seems like all the conceding past weaknesses stuff is just the result of manipulative editing in the article. Still, I really hope they deliver this time.

The physics demos were pretty cool, but that has no bearing on the final product. Tech demos always look great.

Should we care?

The only place they delivered it to was the DS .. Apparently the PC isn't powerful enough to play this game.

I miss the old you LucasArts! The one who would play Adventure games long into the night! Trying to solve puzzles that made no sense at all! It was a relationship that didn't have to end!! Damn you Star Wars!! Damn you!!

Had this comment come before several lukewarm reviews, it might have carried a little weight.

A little.

Having played the demo of The Force Unleashed, the full game would need a "make the game 7 times better" button for them to have delivered.

The 360 demo. It's average in just about every way, below average in whatever is left. PC gamers aren't missing anything, although they probably know that already.

Maybe they should go back to their roots with Dark Forces, and Xwing Alliance? The last two series that were actually GOOD.. Ironically enough these were both on the pc.. Infact it seems like their games started taking a nose dive when they went to consoles.

Oh, that command is mapped to the "Q" button. It's only on special controllers sold somewhere in Africa. Maybe you can import?

Actually, I agree that the demo is iffy at best. Not the worst game I've ever seen, but I had no urge to run out and buy it for my PS3 on release. I'll wait for the price to drop, maybe.

lol I think they should start making Star Wars games based on the war with the yuuzhan vong.. That could be a very good game assuming they make it correctly. The thing I hate about the force unleashed is your lightsaber smacks them around like a baseball bat... Its not a lightsaber if it can't cut through body parts and what not. I wish thsi was for PC then there would be mods for this kidn of thing lol but oh well they'll release it onto the pc eventually I would think. (I am basing my opinions on gameplay footage i'v watched and whatnot).

Republic commando was pretty good, but even that was unfinished with annoying people and haxers running around in multiplayer because Lucasarts thought leaving out admin tools and a more organized multiplayer would have taken too much effort.

I really don't miss Star Wars games anymore. Warhammer 40k DOW (up coming DOW 2) series and Sins of a Solar Empire have filled my need for space/sci fi oriented games. I'm not going to go out and buy mediocre games just because it has the Star Wars brand on it.

I just hope there aren't any more KOTOR games. KOTOR 2 I ended up smashing into a thousand peices and mailing to Lucas Arts because of all the bugs and the unfinished storyline.

KOTOR 2 wasn't that bad, sure it was really slow to start off with (running around a mining faculty, yay! :() and there were a couple of areas that needed more polish, but it was still a great game.

The story was pretty good once it got started, and the gameplay was still good as well.

agreed. i never understood why people hate kotor 2 so much. it's just more of kotor, it seems, and that's a good thing, imo.
